Their only sister, married to Mr Gordon of Ardoch, still survives, an example of profound submission and fortitude, mingled with the most tender sensibility of temper.

4. Ann, born in 1693. She married Alexander Gordon of Ardoch (now Poyntzfield) in the parish of Resolis, with issue--a son, Adam. She died in 1768, and was buried in Kirkmichael Churchyard, half-way between the remains of the ancient church and northern wall of the burying-ground where her nephew, Sir Harry Munro, eighteenth Baron, erected over her grave a tombstone bearing the following inscription:--

"Here lies Mrs Gordon, wife to Alex. Gordon of Ardoch, who died in the 75th year of her age. This tombstone is erected to her memory by her nephew, Sir Harry Munro of Fowlis, Bart., 1768."

The monument is altar shaped, of hewn ashlar, and embedded in one side is a tablet of grey freestone bearing the above inscription.
