Captain Jones R.E. [Royal Engineers]

documents of Kinnoull Parish
Perthshire, received here yester-

partly replied to on the 11th. inst. [instant]
It is quite evident that
there are but three detached
portions of this parish although
four are stated in the Name
list to Exist; the mistake
doubtless occurred thro' [through] the
