It said (p.284) that John Muckart started up a starch works in Seagait by the 1840s, later operated as the Montrose Starch works under various owners. The Forfar sasines index, 1620-1700 has no Muckart in it. The Angus Archives are bound to have some documentation about your David Muckart. As I recall, there is an excellent index to the Montrose Burgh processes, which covered many people and occupations. Gordon.
