| Fonctions : | According to the note inside the album:"When Capt. J. B. Harris's sisters, Margaret Harris Patton and Matilda Harris Lindsay, died - these albums were sent over to him from Perth, Scotland".and "This looks like Maraget Patton's album - the writing is identical."Margaret Patton n‚e Harris (c.1800-1877) was the sister of Captain James Harris of Benares and Matilda Lindsay. Margaret, named for her mother, Margaret Marshall Harris, married her first cousin, James Murray Patton. In 1831, James inherited 2/3rds of the Glenalmond Estate in Perthshire, Scotland with his brother Thomas. During James' ownership, a group of Highland whiskey bootleggers were caught by a force of excisemen and cavalry on Glenalmond lands that was immortalized in a ballad (1837). James Murray died on Christmas day in 1853. Glenalmond was left to James' younger brother Thomas and later to his sister Margaret Anne Patton whom Margaret lived with. Margaret frequently wrote to her brother, Captain Harris at Benares and would help to send care packages to his family with her sister Matilda. Margaret died in 1877. |
