CONGALTON, Catherine
Another name for Catherine was CONGALTON, Katherine. User ID: Q698 Catherine married Patrick BUTLER of Harperdean, son of John BUTLER of Harperdean and Anna HERRIOT. (Patrick BUTLER of Harperdean was born about 1623 and died in January 1670.) Marriage Notes: "Harperdean at the present day (1913), a good-sized farmhouse, stands at a considerable elevation on the hill due north of Haddington, commanding extensive views over the town towards the distant heights beyond Gifford and Humbie. The Butlers had apparently not been possessed of Harperdean for long. John Butler and Isobel Swinton were on 14th April 1677, and their daughter Isobel was born in March 1678. John Butler was son of Patrick Butler of Harperdean (died January 1670) and Catherine Congalton, his wife, which Patrick was only son of John Butler of Harperdean (died December 1656) and Anna Herriot, his wife. There were about this time Butlers of Kirklands of Bolton, a few miles to the south of Haddington, and it seems probable that this Harperdean family was connected with them." |
