Notes

Original grantee was Will. Brown under St David no. 2; 'Present Possessor Rob. Gordon.' Owner in 1832 was shown as 'Miss Campbell'; the estate was still in cultivation in 1862. The path to ownership of Lydia Campbell (the beneficiary of half the compensation for the estate and presumably the 'Miss Campbell' of 1832)) has not yet been established.
