Hi all, I need to know where "Egsterlyre" could be? I have a OPR page for a marriage from: Logierait, Perthshire November 27, 1810 It reads: "David Duff servant to Major Macglashan of Egsterlyre & Ann Stewart Daughter of John Stewart in Croft of Ballechin gave up their names for proclamation of the Bans of marriage, granted Marriage line 27 Curh(???)" I do know where Ballechin is located as I did UK streetmaps website. Finally, does anybody know anything about this Major Macglashan. I tried him on Google, but to no avail. Thanks in advance, Bob Duff

Eastertyre lies just east of Ballechin. The McGlashans, under various spellings, pop up in correspondence between Sophia Robertson, nee Stewart, and her soldier husband Duncan Robertson of Kindrochet. 9th May 1817 'I hope it will be in your power to be at home tomorrow in time to accompany us to Eastertyre to dinner, having ingaged ourselves there in hopes of your being with us to night or early Saturday, you must not then, My Dear disapoint us of seeing you, or Mrs McGlashan of her party which she gives us to understand is quite on our account' 26 Nov 1817. 'Miss Jean McGlachan is here, she begs to join my madcap sister in kindest wishes to you, tho they have both kept chattering and teazing in such a provoking manner ever since I began writing that it is quite impossible to get on beside them' 29 July 1818 'Jean McGlashin, and two of the Findynate girls spent the day here yesterday.' 3 July 1823. 'John Menzies Pitnacree is gone too he was seized wih Apoplexy about a fortnight ago and died Sunday last, poor Robert McGlashan had also a violent attack of the same kind about a month ago which deprived him of all Sense and Motion, but to the great surprise of Doctor Stewart and all who saw him, he still lingers on in a State of perfect insensibility; I never saw a family in a more pitiable state than they are poor people 5 July 1823 Poor Robert Mackglashan is still in a very melancholy way and I grieve to hear with very little prospect of recovery, at least he is rather getting worse than better as yet, there greatest enemy might pity his poor Mother and Sisters, they are in the greatest misery > From: Bob and Kristen Duff <theduffs@suscom.net> > Date: Tue, 02 Nov 2004 11:22:14 -0500 > To: PERTHSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [PERTH] STEWARTs and place name? > Resent-From: PERTHSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com > Resent-Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 09:24:29 -0700 > > Hi all, > I need to know where "Egsterlyre" could be?
