- Notes
- Reputation for 12 years (age= 12 + 25). Her trial happened in Dumfries. But I think she was from Kircudbright because people testifying against her came from there. And other trials of people from Kirkcudbright were held in Dumfries. She was described as a 'pyker and a theif' therefore lvery ow status, but also had a servant so the insults might be slander. Move her status up to middling. Records describe 'her then husband' (named McGuffic), they had their things confiscated, possibly decline in status.
