Notes about John Stevenson

1. Homely Musings, by a Rustic Maiden by Jane Stevenson, re Kilmaurs Churchyard
"Kilmaurs Churchyard------but I saw no stone that told of a relation being buried there, except one erected to the memory of my father's uncle, John Stevenson of Hallbarns, who died on 'the 26th of December, 1825, aged 93 years; and his wife, Agnes Millar, who died on the 12th of June, 1812 - the stone was set up by his sons, John Stevenson of Kirkland and his brother in Hallbarns. It also told that Elizabeth their daughter died at the melancholy event which happened in the Low Church in Kilmarnock, in 1801. The sons themselves, who had set up the stone, died - John at Kirkland, and his wife and daughter Janet. Hugh died at Hallbarns in 1852; their sister Helen in 1849; and their brother, Peter Warner Stevenson, the last of the family, in 1862 - the year in which my mother died."

    On Sunday 18 October 1801, the congregation was unusually large, as churches in neighbouring parishes were vacant, and many had flocked to the Laigh to hear "Great McKinlay", the preacher. As the minister was about to enter the church, a small piece of plaster fell from the ceiling. A cry went up that the building was falling down, panic ensued and the congregation started to rush outside. Those upstairs became tightly jammed together, many fell, crushing and suffocating those poor souls underneath them. Some were crushed against the inward-opening doors at the foot of the stairs. Some desperate people threw themselves from the gallery into body of the kirk, others leapt from windows into the graveyard. 29 people were killed in the stampede[2] and another died soon after.[1] The church was quickly torn down and the current, more spacious church was built the following year.[2]
