Descendants of John Dinnie
Generation No. 1
1. JOHN1 DINNIE
Notes for JOHN DINNIE:
Known in the Forest of
Birse in 1618
The existence of John
Dinnie along with his son, also John, is evidenced when in 1816 they witnessed
the transfer of land for the Marquis of Huntly to John Davidson, documented as
the nearest lawful heir of the deceased Andrew Davidson in Belwode.
John Dinnie Jnr's
entitlement to witness such a legal document, leads to the assumption that he
would be over 21 years of age, and to estimate his birth around the 1590's, and
his fathers birth date estimated in the 1570's.

Memorabilis by Robert
Dinnie 1878
The surname
"Dinnie" may be traced back from the present date (1878) at least
upwards of two hundred years in the parish of Birse, and that there were two
branches distinguished in the locality about eighty years ago by the
appellation of the "Black & White Dinnie's" but it is now unknown
whether the name arose from the same source roots. However they did not claim any relationship
as far back as I can remember although I can recollect that the one branch was
dark haired, and a little dark of complexion while the others were generally
white or fair haired, and I claim the White Dinnie's for my ancestors I may
exclaim with the poet
"Can taint of skin or shape
or air
With comeliness of deeds compare"
I cannot go further
back on the parental side of my ancestors with any reliable authority than my
Great Grandfather John Dinnie who was farmer in Birkinhill in the lands of
Midstrath in the parish of Birse before, and after the year 1700 where it
appears the Dinnie's were tenants for the space of eighty years at least. I
know nothing of my Great grandmother but it seems that he (John Dinnie) from
one of which descended the Dinnie's tenants in the Croft of Marywell. The other son William was my Grandfather, as
was married first to Rebaka Burnett . They had two sons William & James
from which the Dinnie's now in Kincardineshire are descended, He was again
married to Isabell Macky my Grandmother with whom he had two sons and one daughter.
John who was formerly tenant in Bogiesheil and Robert my father who was born at
Birkinhill in the year 1765. He
afterwards resided at the Croft of Longholm where he was married in January
1802 to Jane Findlay my mother, and died at Allancrich in the year 1847 where
he was tenant of upwards of 42 years.
My ancestors on the
mother sidethe Findlays as far as I can learn came from Huntly about 400 years
ago to Deeside. My Great Grandfather
John Findlay was tenent at Bandory in the parish of Aboyne, and was married to
Jane Gordon a natural daughter of one of the Lords of Aboyne, and her mother ws
said to have been one of the Davidsons at the time proprietors of
Bellwade. Their son John Findlay my
Grandfather was also married to Jane Duncan my Grandmother. She was on of the Duncans of Glantanner, and
their oldest daughter Jane Findlay my mother was born at Bandory in the year
1779, and died on the 12 August 1858 at Alancrich in the parish of Birse.

A Grandfather Clock
exists in the family displaying the following information fastened inside the
back panel - "This Grandfather Clock was made for Wm. Hay by Wm. Spark,
Aberdeen, for the agreed sum of £8. Scots, in the year 1806. Robert Dinnie
married Celia, daughter of the above Wm.
Hay and got possession of said G. F. Clock in the year 1847. Digby, fifth son
of the above Robert Dinnie getting possession in 1892"
In the 1800's £1 Scots
was one 12th of £1 English and valued at 1s 8d, therefore the £8 Scots paid for
the clock had a value of 13s 4d. In today's decimilised currency it would be
costed at 66p.
The clock became the
possession of Digby's son Cecil Hay Dinnie in 1929, then to Cecil's daughter
Celia Hay Dinnie (Mrs Robert Foster) in 1971, The following year it was handed
down to Celia Margaret Currie (Mrs R G L Duncan), great grand daughter of Digby
Dinnie, who was the owner in 1997.
