Born:

1785 Sarah Corrie, b 4 Feb, bapt. 6 Feb, fifth child and third daughter of William Corrie, tenant farmer at Hollows, Torthorwald, and Margaret Kirkpatrick:
“daughter of Wm Corrie, tenant Hollies. Bpd there on Feb 6 th afternoon after being intimated. The child being indisposed”. Parents must have been worried sick after their last child died as an infant only a year before. I wonder if they were desperate to have her baptised quickly.

Life:

Married William Moffat at Torthorwald in 1806:
"1806 July 24 Wm MOFFAT and Sarah CORRIE, daughter of William Corrie at Hollies"

Had a daughter Margaret about 1814.

Left £60 and share of linen by her uncle John Kirkpatrick, farmer of Parkside, in his 1819 will.

Died in Dumfries, a widow, at the age of 60. Lived to know of her daughter's death of cholera morbus (dysentery) in Boston, a month after giving birth to a son.
