*** FAMILY HISTORY
***
|
|
Richard Allan was born in Duns, Berwickshire,
Scotland. The only son of Andrew ALLAN &
Sibbilla RICHARDSON, the family moved several times
during his early years. He married Elizabeth
Darling in 1804 at Greenlaw. He was a shepherd at
Halliburton farm near Greenlaw, and brought up a
family of seven. He was a very simple man, and a
spiritual Christian, as evidenced by letters, and
the character of all his family members. Sometime
around/after 1818, the family moved to Yester
Park/Newlands farm near Gifford,
Haddingtonshire.This farm was a sheep-grazing
property. These properties are of undulating
nature, and fairly open. The area is North of the
Lammermuir ranges, a bare and bleak strip of
mountains running across the country.Elizabeth died
in 1837 to the great sorrow of the family. Deaths
occurred all over Berwickshire at the same
time,whole families being laid up and not able to
help each other. At his death in 1861, only his
unmarried children Margaret and James were still in
his house. The legacy of information regarding
these Allans and their nearest friends/relatives
are courtesy of an abundance of letters from
Richard Allan to his son Andrew between 1836 and
1859. There is still an old disused cottage on the
Yester Park estate which was possibly used by the
Allans. The nearby village of Gifford has Richard
and Elizabeth's tombstone in the churchyard. Of
interest in the town is the Goblin Ha' Hotel
supposedly built with the help of goblins, and
Yester House.
