J. Murdoch
007.09 A good Farm steading. Formerly this name applied to an old Steading on Trace 6.VII-5. but since the house etc on this Trace has been built, the name has been transferred to it. The old Steading is known as being on the Lands of Easter Queenslie, but any distinctive name is entirely taken from it. There is a tradition in the neighborhood, that the origin of the name is from Queen Mary of Scotland having slept a night in the neighborhood, or even in the old Steading of Easter Queenslie. No authentic information can be obtained on the subject. The old steading is apparently of good age.
