"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.
