• Photos » Slide Show		Hoardweel Farm, Berwickshire, Scotland The sign at the entrance to Hoardweel Farm on the A6112 road. Agnes Moffat (513, 1819) and Margaret Moffat (514, born 1821) were born here to George Moffat (32) and Isabella Clark (33), so it is presumed that George and Isabella and their first son Alexander (born 1818 at Coppermine) lived here during this time. Their 4th child Elisabeth was born at Blakerstone in 1825. Roger Moffat and Lisa Christensen visited this farm 22 June 2000.

  		View of Hoardweel Farm taken from very near the sign on the road. George Moffat and Isabel Clark presumably lived here from about 1819 to 1825 when two of their children (Agnes, born 1819) and Margaret (born 1821) were born here.
  		Hoardweel Farm, Berwickshire, Scotland Some of the buildings and the farm house of present day Hoardweel Farm. George Moffat presumably worked here in the 1820 - 1825 time period where two of his children Agnes (1819) and Margaret (1821) were born. Visited by Roger Moffat and Lisa Christensen 21 June 2000.
  		Sandy Bain and the Sign at Tower Farm Tower Farm was a place of residence for several members of the Glass family - descendants of Agnes Moffat (born 1819). Agnes died at Tower Farm, and her son Richard lived there for some time, as did a grand-daughter of Agnes - Mary J Turner.
