Note: Two of John and Margaret's children were baptized in Insch and the baptism records stated they lived in Cairneston. Cairneston no longer exists and is not on modern maps but historical maps show that it was north of Insch and NE of the present village of Largie. It is a group of farms on hills north and east of Largie. The south foot of Cairneston is located at gps 57.374491, -2.637411. (Note, other historical spellings: Cairnieston, Carnieston )
Shared note: Documents indicate that the family of John Milne and Margaret Anderson lived in Cairneston (northwest of Insch town) from at least 1820 through 1829. The earliest record was the 1820 baptism record of their son David Milne of Cairneston and the last was a baptism record of 1829 in which John Milne of Cairneston was a witness.

John Milne, Ontario Census, 1861 Elora, Wellington, Ontario, Canada Enumeration District: 01 Age: 76 Birth Year (Estimated): 1785 Sheet Number: 8 Line Number: 26

Death

John's will was recorded in Wellington County Probate Book E,, pp 415-416. (FHL film 0555617.) John left an estate worth $1900. His executors were his son John and his son in Law Robert Gerrie. The will was dated 10 Feb 1863 and the probate dated 12 Oct 1867. Margaret Anderson Milne, his wife, was listed as a widow (evidently still alive) and Fairly, his son, was listed as already being dead.

The copy of the will is difficult to read but it is clear that John had two more children that were previously not known to me. One whose name was Ellen and the other a daughter named Christiana Milne Land.
