Francis lived in Forfar, Glamis, Rescobie, and Brechin. In the Rental Book of 1684/5 Francis was exempted from payment; he farmed at Wafthill of Glamis. On 13 Nov 1684: "I have sett his roume for the same dewtie to ffrancis Doig in the Myretoun." [The Book of Record - Glamis Papers, (Edinburgh: Constable, 1890), page 71.] Later he took over Myretoun, Glamis, the farm of James Smith, who was absent at London. On the Hearth Tax published 3 Apr 1692 he is listed as Francis Doig of Roswallie.

Sasine to David Doig eldest son of deceased John Doig Provost of Brechin of the lands of Cookston & Unthank, recorded 1726 in the Particular Register of Sasines for Forfar, Minute Book.

 

David was heir general to his father on 4 Mar 1727 on a document recorded 20 Mar 1727. He owned the lands of Cookston and Unthank. He purchased Cookston from the Carnegie family, into which his daughter, Christian, had married. In the Register of the Great Seal he recorded the lands of Cookston on 26 July 1727, Balrownie on 26 July 1743, and Balzeordie on 6 Aug 1759.

 

David was a merchant, and he also became involved in smuggling. In April 1733 his ship "Christian & Magdalen" of Montrose sailed north with a cargo of salt. The ship put ashore at Maiden Cove and unloaded 43 ankers (1 anker = approx. 10 gallons) of brandy. A party of 10 soldiers and Excise men surprised the smugglers and seized the brandy. Their success was short lived as a mob gathered and chased the taxmen away. The brandy disappeared towards Brechin. The next day David was overheard at the inn of Kinnell to remark "he had been in an engagement the night before, at the Maiden Cove, with some soldiers, rescuing his brandy." He then proceeded to sell one of the ankers of brandy to the innkeeper.

 

David was admitted as Burgess of Edinburgh on 29 Mar 1729 and again 12 Oct 1757. David was Provost of Brechin until 1740. In about 1745 he challenged the nominated Provost of Brechin, James Coutts, because he was in prison; Doig won as Provost by 8 votes to 7. After that he moved to Montrose where he was Provost in 1746, 1749-50, 1753-4, 1757-8, and 1761-2, being a Town Councilor during the intervening years.

 

The family lived for a time at a house on Black Bull Close, where Agnes was born.

 

In 1728 David presented a folio Bible to the Brechin Cathedral. This replaced the "Popish" bible used since 1655. David Doig's bible was replaced in 1807.

In 1745 David challenged James Coutts, a probable relative of his second wife, defeating him by a slim vote.

 

David was not well liked, and a local legend plays upon his name:

"Provost Doig's Dead - God be thankit;

Mony a better dog's dead, since he was whelpit."

"The Encumbered Estates Acts of 1848 and 1849 facilitated the sale of Irish estates whose owners, because of the Great Famine, were unable to meet their obligations. An Encumbered Estates Court was set up with authority to sell estates on the application of the owner or the encumbrancer (person who had a claim on the estate). After the sale, the court distributed the money among the creditors and granted clear title to the new owners. The existing tenants were unprotected by the legislation." The land had been advertised in Dublin and London in 1853, the estate of Magheramore in the Parish of Kilcummin, County Galway which had been divided into 17 lots. John, in 1885 of Moycullen, Galway, purchased at least 3 lots which he later leased:
