From this link;

In the parish of Comrie immediately to the north of Muthill and also abutting onto the village of Crieff, the people tended to grow a little flax, but the emphasis there was more on wool from the sheep which they raised in the glens which did not lend themselves to cultivation. All the people in Monzie, Muthill and Comrie would have taken their goods to be sold at the markets in Crieff, it being the largest town in the area and it would be there that they learnt of Montgomery's intended scheme.



REV. WILLIAM DRUMMOND

Because of the low number of passengers names reported out of the supposedly140 possible passengers it is possible there were more MacLarens onboard and that some of them may have been neighbors of the Rev William Drummond's family at Wester Cowden. Cowden was leased to his father, Donald Drummond, preacher ofthe Gospel at Wester Cowden. William's father was Donald Drummond aliasGallich, in the Comrie OPR, the father appears under Gallich and not Drummond and on one occasion he was recorded as Duncan Gallich and not Donald. ThePresbytery minutes show that Mr William Drummond was from Cowden and we know that it was in the parish of Comrie, but it appears to be very close to the border with the parish of Muthill. So that suggests 3 parishes to concentrateon. On the Ordnance Survey Map, Sheet 57, you will find Cowden south of thevillage of Comrie and near it are the farms of Cultybroggan and Auchingarrich.

The Auchterarder Presbytery Minutes, re. Mr William Drummond, accused him of 11 misdemeanours (dating back to November 1761) on the 20 November 1763. Mostly, he appears to have been too fond of the drink and given to squabbling and there was also some confusion as to whether he or his brother, David, had fathered a child by Mary Carmichael. He denied all and maintained that it was a plot by the kirk session of Comrie and the Supervisor of Excise, Mr Forrester. The latter had evidently said openly that he was going to make sure that MrWilliam Drummond never got 'a kirk'. Mr. William Drummond appears to have ministered to folk in the vicinity of West Cowden, one place being Blairinroar which is in the parish of Muthill. McLarens who gave evidence came from various places, one place was Blairinroar. All of the witnesses depositions maintained he was innocent of the charges and refused to say anything against him,therefore nothing could be proved against him conclusively, nevertheless his license to preach was suspended. A few of the McLarens witnesses were:

Laurence McLaren in Achingarrich, a widower aged 50
John McLaren smith in Comrie aged 50 and his wife, Christian Brown
Katherine McLaren in Croftross aged 45 (possibly CroftCroft)
Ann Mclaren who became the wife of John Clarke in Green of Cultibragan

Then on the 6 March 1770 "Mr William Drummond Preacher of the Gospel compeared and craved that the Presbytery would grant him ordination in regard he is under Engagement to go abroad as a minister of the Gospel upon condition of his being ordained by the beginning of April next. The Presbytery agreed to grant the above request provided Mr Drummond produce satisfying attestations of his good Behaviour during the time he has resided without the Bounds of the Presbytery, and likewise an authentic Evidence of his being engaged as above represented."
He had obviously moved away from the area after October 1766, but no indication is given as to where. He then produced documents which stated that he was going to St John's Island in the West Indies. (sic)

thank you all for this interesting information. i will continue my research with your wonderful help. :-) :-)
