James Ogston

• XVI. James Ogston

James is found in the farm of Urinell of Coburty four years after his predecessor (his father P), John Ogston, had left the farm. The kirk-session records of Aberdour show that in 1702 it was reported to the kirk-session that on the 13th of June, 1702, James Ogyston and Margaret Forbes, both in Urinell, were contracted in marriage, and their proclamations going on.
