  Marriage Notes:

"In the List of Tollable Persons within the Shire of Aberdeen, 1696, occur the following entries under the Parish of Kildrummy :

DRUMNAHOOVE.

'Alexander Ker, tennent ther, and Anna Gordon his spouse, poll, £3 I2s. od.

Alexander, James, and Arthur Kers, his sons, their generall poll is £01 8s. od.

Sophia, Elizabeth, and Margaret Kers, his daughters, their generall poll is £01 8s. od.'

If the conjecture is correct that George Ker ... was also a son of Alexander Ker, but absent from home when the poll was taken, then the family of the gentleman and tenant of Drumnahoove (now called Drumnahive), consisted of:

1. George, b. about 1674, of whom hereafter.

2. Alexander, b. about 1676, Farmer, in Culsh of Kildrummy, who was alive in 1734.

3. Sophia, b. about 1678, who married in 1704, John Forbes, of Templeton, Kildrummy (b. 24th Jan., 1680)."
