I have Elizatheth Cable m. to Peter Mackie abt 1786, apparently had only 1 child, Helen
Mackie b. 11 Oct 1786 in Forfar.
Helen married my David Smith (way way way back in our family).
I would like to link my Cable to some other Cable'. ie Cable & Proctor &
Cook. I found these other family's in Scotland OPR and LDS.
I have found this information about Elizabeth Cable and her Husband Peter Mackie ..
- "Peter Originally a native of Dunkeld, Perthshire where his parents as well as
himself were farmers.Peter was by trade a Maltster which was considered a business of some
importance. This business lead him to Forfar where he met his future wife Elizabeth
Cable.
He was employed in Forfar for many years a the the old brewery, a large building on
the northern margin of Forfar Loch.Peter eventuallly sold off his property in Forfar and
went to live with his daughter at Loch-Head where he shortly after passed away."
---Family had something to do with the Fleydmire Farm in Forfar (way back then)..
