Could it be Forgue parish, and the croft (farm of ) Frondraught; all in Aberdeenshire? I have some Old Parish Records I took off a film of Forgue, and have some Alexanders as Witnesses to some baptisms, as well as some Leslies I suspect so, Goldie. -----Original Message----- From: Gilbert Murray Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2014 3:09 PM To: ABERDEEN@rootsweb.com Subject: [ABERDEEN] Anderson, Lesly - Can anyone identify Froucharucht? Hi - I'm transcribing old wills of the Mosquito Shore, for a history, and cannot identify a place in Aberdeenshire named in a will of 1785. Can anyone help? Here's the entry: Black River, Musquito Shore: I, George Alexander of the Shore, Merchant, in an ill state of health. As soon as convenient after my decease I desire my Exors residing on the Musquito Shore sell and dispose of all property I may have on the Shore, the neat proceeds of which, together with the Debts due me on the Shore as soon as they can be collected, I desire may be remitted into the hands of my Exor in Great Britain to be placed at Interest in the Public Funds. I bequeath to my Honored Mother Jane LESLY, widow of Alexander Alexander of Frouchaught? in the Parish of Fergey* and shire of Aberdeen in North Britain... Can anyone locate Frouchaught - could be Frourhaught? Fergey? I suspect Fergey = Fergue. The people are not my ancestors. Appreciate your help!

Further.. 2 b/dates for George.... 1. 7 Oct 1730 ..... 2. 30 Oct 1747......his father is given as Alexander Alexander, no mother mentioned. If you are transcribing a will, you can work out his age and then know which one he is. Likely one is an uncle........maybe named after the father of Alex and George.......good luck with this...and just out of curiosity where is Black River, Musquito Shore....I'm sure all Listers would be interested to know.......sounds like 'bring on the "musquito spray"......Goldie -----Original Message----- From: Goldie & Lido Doratti Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2014 3:28 PM To: aberdeen@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ABERDEEN] Anderson, Lesly - Can anyone identify Froucharucht?
