Outside,
in the village churchyard are believed to be the
burials of our Scotland ancestors - Arbuckle and
Gilmour.
No stones were
found by Ruthanne Rocha of the Arbuckle family,
but is most likely that the stones may have been
too faded, worn or broken. |

| WILLIAM GILMOUR
FAMILY HEADSTONE |
| |
| Although most of the stones
are difficult, if not impossible to read,
a few can be made out such as the one
pictured above and photographed by
Ruthanne Rocha on her visit to Scotland
in 2006. This beautiful old headstone
states the following: "Erected by
William Gilmour, Wood Merchant Glasgow,
In Memory of, Mary McGhie, his wife who,
died 29th June 1836 aged 39 years.
Matthew Gilmour his son, died 10th Sept.
1842 age 14 years. The above, William
Gilmour died 25 Jany 1849 age 47 years;
Margaret Young his daughter, died 14 Feby
1869 age 36 years, and, John McGhie his
son, died 30th Apr 1872 age 41 years.
|

| According
to the Old Parochial Records of Scotland,
William Gilmour married Mary McGhie in
Carmunnock on 28 Mar 1826. This marriage
was also recorded in Hamilton, Lanark,
Scotland as 19 Mar 1826, which indicates
that his wife might have been of this
town. William was born 21 Apr 1802
and was the son of Matthew Gilmour and
Elizabeth (Pettigrew). He and Mary
(McGhie) were the parents of Matthew who
was born in 1828; John McGhie who was
born in 1831 and Margaret Young Gilmour
who was born in 1833. Each of their
deaths are as recorded upon the
headstone.

| MATTHEW GILMOUR
FAMILY HEADSTONE |
| |
| Although extremely worn and
very difficult to read, the last name of
the headstone reads "Pettigrew
Gilmour" who was the son of Matthew.
Pettigrew was born in Carmunnock on 22
Jun 1814 and christened that year on the
10th of July. As noted, he was aged 28 at
the time of his death. His parents,
Matthew and Elizabeth (Pettigrew) were
married in Carmunnock on 26 Jul 1793 and
were the parents of eight other children:
John who was born in 1796 and married
Janet McKinnon; Matthew born in 1798;
Robert born in 1800; William (mentioned
above) born in 1802 who married Mary
McGhie; Janet born 1804 who married
Thomas Nelson; James born 1806 who
married Elizabeth Pettigrew; Alexander
born 1807; and Agnes who was born in 1816
and was the wife of Samuel Naesmith.

| ANNIE S. (GILMOUR)
& WILLIAM MACAULAY HEADSTONE |
| |
| Although difficult to read,
it is believed this stone is inscribed as
follows: "In Loving Memory of Annie
S. Gilmour, wife of William Macaulay,
Cathkin, who died 04 Feb 1907, aged 31
years; William Macaulay died 15 Nov 1939,
aged 75 years; also his wife Elizabeth
Pettigrew Gilmour, who died 25 May 1946,
aged 79 years." It is believed that
Annie S. Gilmour, who was born about
1876, was the first wife of William
Macaulay and Elizabeth Pettigrew Gilmour,
who was born about 1871, was his second
wife.
