"Catherine Allardice, m. in 1647, to John Fullerton of Kynnaber, and had issue."

from The Red Book of Scotland




"... Catherine (Allardice), who was married to John Fullerton of Kinnaber. This lady and her husband were so strongly in favour of the unostentatious principles of the Quakers, then recently introduced, that the Presbytery of Brechin, after a vast deal of communing among themselves, and private conferences with the accused, found that all hope of gaining them back to their Church was gone, and had to formally pronounce the bann of excommunication against both them and a domestic servant, 'for adhering,' in the intolerant words of the record, 'to the scandalous errours of Quaquarism.' "

from Memorials of the Angus and the Mearns




"The first mention of any settlement in these parts (Angus and The Mearns) was a meeting for worship which was early established in Kinnaber, two miles from Montrose, and maintained for several years. Its actual date of origin is uncertain; likewise its founders, but it may have been inaugurated prior to the Restoration by the Laird of Kinnaber who was a Quaker before 1660, possibly through having been influenced by Parker at Forfar or by Dewsbury on his first journey to Aberdeen in 1658. The rise of the Inner Light in Aberdeen in the Restoration decade would certainly have an influence on the Mearns where Jaffray was also well-known. As an offset to Robert Petrie of Portlethan, who was Provost of Aberdeen from 1667 to 1670, and in whose period of office the Quakers suffered severely, there was probably about then the accession of Catherine, daughter of James Allardice of that Ilk and her husband, John Fullerton of Kinnaber who became so strong in favour of Quakerism that the Presbytery of Brechin after taking all the usual steps in the effort to reclaim them, excommunicated both and their domestic staff 'for adhering to the scandalous errours of Quaquarism' and the Ministers of the Presbytery 'did inhibite their parochiners to haunt or keep company with them'. It is not improbable that a community of sympathy between the Allardices and the Barclays led to a close connection between the families later."

Note:

Catherine was the daughter of John, not James, Allardice. James was born in 1620, and Catherine married in 1647. The dates point to them being siblings. ^{1 2 3}
