| Description | One of bundle of MSS. (18-23) found tied together, apparently relating to Helen Taylor, Lady Braco, and, according to one slip which had formed part of a letter to him of 15 December 1799(??), collected by William Rose of Montcoffer.
Genealogy of Helen Taylor, Lady Braco. "Taken in July 1784 by Mr Stewart of Edenglasy and given me [?William Rose of Montcoffer] before his death at Edenglasy in September 1786." Daughter of Robert Taylor, Fintry, grandson of Taylor of Whitemires in parish of Newhills, near Aberdeen. Her mother was daughter of Rev. Mr "Chine" [Cheyne], brother of the laird of Esslemont etc. [This does seem to agree with genealogy in next MS q.v.]. |
