Sabbaths in Abernethy church and every third
Sabbath in that of Kincardine
The Roman road which you inquired about in Braemar
seems to have confirmed its course from Braemar Castle
to Cromdale thence to Forres you will therefore ascertain
if any part of it passed through, or can be traced, in
the parish of Abernethy
From a Name Sheet now forwarded you will observe
from the two Sheriffs Lists inserted thereon that the
Legal name of this parish is Abernethy but at
the same time it seems doubtful whether the name
should not be written “Abernethy and Kincardine”
You will therefore supply the church Registers and
any other documents you may come across and if a
different mode of writing the name occurs in them
give the different mode and date thereof Also
supply the Clergyman and other Responsible Authorities

events did not pass though
the work which has been examined

Name Sheet supplied with

this subject it was possible
