Margaret Cottar was baptized on 1 Jun 1725 Watten, CAI, SCT; “…the deceased Robert Cottar lately of Scarmclate had a child baptized called Margaret Witnesses were John Cotter ?Bylbster? and Robert Cotter in Flex”.2,1
Margaret Cottar married George MacAdie on 30 Dec 1756 Watten, CAI, SCT, entry reads: [8th?] Dec 1756 George McAdie in Scarmclatt (could possibly be Scouthel, but I think Scarmclatt is the more likely interpretation of the squiggles), and Margaret Cottar in Flex were contracted in order to marriage and after ordinary proclamations and no objections offered their marriage was solemnized Dec 30 1756.3
Margaret Cottar died aft. 1760 ?Watten, CAI, SCT.
There are two Margaret Cottar/Cotter's of the right timeframe, this Margaret bap 1725, d/o Robert Cottar and Katherin Calder, of Scarmclate, and Margaret, twin of Elspet, bap 1731, d/o Robert Cotter in Flex. I've assumed that "my" Margaret is the 1725 one purely from the naming pattern of her children. Given that her father had died before she was born, and that the Flex Robert Cotter stood witness at her baptism, there is likely to be a connection between the families. Perhaps Margaret was brought up in Flex?4 In Dec 1756 Margaret Cottar was living at Flex, Watten, CAI, SCT.3
By Jan 1758 Margaret Cottar and George MacAdie were living at Scarmclet, Watten, CAI, SCT, and were still there in Apr 1760 when their next known child was baptized.5
