Notes:

She was William's first wife

Bonnyhaugh The first record of Bonnyhaugh is in 1621 when the Edinburgh Town Council imported a Dutchman, Jeromias Vanderheill, to help establish cloth making at Bonnington in Leith. They built the house and a fulling and dyeing house and let them to him 5 acres of bleaching greens. In 1723 these were purchased by Gilbert Stewart, the younger brother of John Stewart of Stenton. He died 30.11.1742 (Testament and Inventory registered 29/06/1744) leaving everything to his nephew, John Stewart of Stenton, another keen Jacobite. Stewart Carmichael, merchant in Edinburgh, was one of his executors. The property was not mentioned in Gilbert Stewart's Testament and Inventory. It was purchased (presumably) by Stewart Carmichael (probably early in the 1740's) but I have not found the contract. The Book of The Old Edinburgh Club vol.19 1933 refers to him as William Stuart Carmichael* and says 'He purchased it from the heirs of Gilbert Stewart, linen manufacturer, Bonnington, just before his marriage in 1752 with Katherine, only daughter of Bishop Keith. After the marriage the Bishop and his wife removed from the Cannongate and resided at Bonnyhaugh?.until he died here in 1757. All authorities, including the Dictionary of National Biography, erroneously assert that Bonnyhaugh was the Bishop's property. From Stuart Carmichael's marriage contract, preserved in The Register House, we learn that he was to invest five hundred pounds in the purchase of land to assure his wife an annual income should she survive him. Bishop Keith, on the other hand, gave his daughter a dowry of four hundred pounds. With these two sums Stuart Carmichael purchased the house and lands at Bonnyhaugh'. I think this must be incorrect as Stewart Carmichael owned at least some of Bonnyhaugh in 1747. I think the mistake comes from the fact that many Scottish legal documents were not registered until several years after they were written. There is a tack (lease) dated 4/08/1747 (registered 28.07.1752) granted by 'Stewart Carmichael, merchant in Edinburgh, heritable proprietor of lands of Bonnyhaugh to William Wemyss, stiffner and his father Alex Wemyss, weaver in Perth, of that house at Bonnyhaugh high and drigh called the Cross House together with that other house called The Mount and the Eastmost boiling house. The term was 21 years from Whitsunday 1748'. Bonnyhaugh was eventually inherited by Stewart and Katherine's daughter Stewartina who married William Douglas. She, on William's advice sold it in 1786 to the Selby family, who purchased Bonnington Mills and some adjacent lands at the same time.
