other information
- Pre-trial notes
- She was originally part of the 1697 Renfrewshire witches, but she was not tried at that time due to pregnancy. She was confined to Edinburgh by the Privy council on 6 Sept. 1698. (joyce notes) I think this is mixed trial as presbytery note that committee of justiciary was due to travel through to the west in 4/1699. JC references imply that there was supposed to be a trial in Glasgow in May 1699.
