HAMILTON : DUNDAS "Sacred to the memory of JOHN HAMILTON of Pencaitland Esq. who was born the

23d of Decr 1752, and departed this life the 25th Decr 1804. The elevated Endowments of his mind, and amiable

qualities of his heart, rendered him a highly interesting and valuable member of Society in all the relations of

life. He lived sincerely beloved, and died deeply and universally lamented.

Sacred also the memory of his much honoured and lamented spouse JANET DUNDAS. She was born 1st July

CAMPBELL "Sacred to the memory of MARY HAMILTON CAMPBELL who was born on the 4th day of

August 1750 and died on the 19th of November 1826.A rare combination of sweetness of manners, kindness of

heart, sound discretion, and exalted piety, rendered her the delight of her friends, and imparted a nameless

charm to all her intercourse in domestic and social life. "When the ear heard her it blessed her, And when the

eye saw it gave witness to her, Because she delivered the poor that cried, And the fatherless, and him that had

none to help him.

The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon her, and she caused the widow's heart to sign for joy."

DENUNE:HEPBURN - A Translation

(With acknowledgement to the Haddingtonshire Courier.)

"Here the victorious spirit of Mr. William Denune, who was for 19 years minister of the Parish, laid aside his

earthly tabernacle. He was a true preacher of the gospel both by the sweetness of his manners, the persuasive

eloquence of his tongue, and by the whole tone of his life. In the joyful and sorrowful changes in the church he

calmly did his duty. He was helpful to his friends, instructed his own people by his example, and communicated

to others the knowledge which he himself had acquired. And so he exchanged his natural cheerfulness of spirit

for the highest joy about the beginning of February in the year of our Salvation 1704, in the 48th year of his age.

His mourning widow (Isabel Hepburn) like-minded companion of his life, the beloved mother of his eight

children, was buried with honour and tears among the ashes of her husband William, and her son William, of

John and Helen who predeceased her."(Note: the meaning of this last sentence is less than clear, and the translation is perhaps open to question.)

Appendix:

The undernoted text was received in 2009. Although the stone to which it refers no longer exists (or if it does, it

is totally unreadable) the text as read in 1879 is of some interest, as are the accompanying notes.

The following inscription was transcribed on 30 June 1879 ("day very wet") by Dr William Rutherford, a

descendant of the Rutherfords of Ormiston mentioned below. The details on the stone were obviously

disappearing even then and must since have been obliterated, as none of the names mentioned appear today.

"Here lies Grisel Pecock spouse of William Cairns Brewer .... in Pencaitland Aged .... years. Also Robert, James

and William Cairns their children. Here lye ........ Rutherford, Mason in Ormiston, aged 69 years James

Rutherford .... died June ... 1707 and Robert Rutherford

Also Jas. Rutherford and Agnes Cairns his wife. They died in advanced age much respected by all their friends

and relations.

Dr William Rutherford's father was John Rutherford, also a mason from Ormiston. His mother was Margaret

Ronaldson of Gladsmuir and William was born in Dublin in 1816, where his father was working on some of the

major bridge projects. William had a career as an army surgeon, retiring with the rank of Surgeon General and

Honorary Physician to Queen Victoria. He was also, as Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, one of the two

British delegates to the first Geneva conference on the treatment of wounded in 1863 which led to the founding

of the Red Cross, returning the next year for the signing of what became the original Geneva Convention. He

was unmarried and died in 1887 in London, but was very fond of his East Lothian Ronaldson relations and keento trace his roots.
