General Notes:
"The Cummlngs of Glenrinnes.
The following interesting documents dealing with the Cumming family have been transcribed from the Tammore Papers in the British Museum (Add. MSS.. 26,407) by Mr H. Duff MacWilliam, Harrow Weald, who purposes publishing the manuscript later. Robert Cumming of Recleitich (Mortlach) was apparently the father of George Cumming of Reclettich. One of George's daughters married Grant of Tammore, while another married Alexandar Gordon in Craigwillie. Both Tammore and his father-in-law appear to have been successively chamberlain of Huntly.
from 1729 until 1739 it is Robert Cumming who pays the factor. In 1740 it is his son George Cumming:
1740.- I, Doctor Alexr. Gordon of Keithmore. Factor of Achindoun and Glenrinnes, grant me to have received from Baillie George Cumin of Reclatich £319 Scots money. And yt as ye whole superplus rent of his wodsette due att this present terme of Mertimes, 1740, of which I discharge him. As likewise I grant me to have received from ye forsd Mr George Cumin £3 19s 2d Scots instantly pd by him as his proportione of the scoolmaster's salary due at ye forsd terme, of qch he is likewise discharged. As witness my hand att Keithmore this seventeenth day of December, yeare of God above sett doun.
Alexr. Gordon. "
from Aberdeen Journal
"... who between the years of 1718 and 1725 is variously described in the MSS as Chamblerlain of Enzie and 'Off Achnastank, Barron Baily and chamberland of Huntly'; 'Chamberlan of Strath-bogie'; 'Bailie of the Regality of Huntly'; etc. Tammore married his daughter, Margaret, and during the year 1723 Tammore himself acted as 'Chamberlain of Huntly'; in one document where he is thus described, George Cumming is called 'Bailie of the Regality of Huntly'."
from Letters of Patrick Grant
