  Notes	Text from Forgandenny Parish register dated May 3, 1817: "Daniel McGregor Labrouer, Horseley (also spealt Horslea) and Mary Anderson, servant to David Marshall, Tenant, Mount Stewart, and daughter of William Anderson, late tenant Dumbuils, both in this Parish; Gave in their names for Proclomation in order to Marriage. They were proclaimed before the congregation on Sabbath, the 4th of May current, three different times and married at Perth, on the Monday following (May 5th) by the Rev Mr Thomson." From a website setup by Chris Paton (http://chrispatonscotland.tripod.com/id21.html) showing that the farm of Horseley (where Daniel McGregor was working) and the farm of Mount Stewart (where Mary Anderson was working) were adjoining. Also the lands of Dumbuils (where Mary's father William had been a tenant) were also in the vicinity. "On Martinmas 1845, Andrew took on the tenancy of Mount Stewart Farm further south in the parish of Forgandenny, which had previously been in the hand of a lady called Mary Hutton, and which was situated on the Freeland Estate, owned by Lord Ruthven. Mary had been widowed in 1835 when her husband, James Marshall, had died, and she had remarried to a local shoemaker from the village. When her son David married in 1845, both Mary and her new husband gave up the farm, and moved to a larger farm in Fossoway. Five tenancies on the farm had been advertised in the Perth Courier between March 13th and April 17th 1845: Valuable Farms on the Estate of Freeland To Be Let There will be let, with entry at Martinmas next, for 19 years, or such other period as may be agreed on 1.
