Further research conducted in 1994 by David A Matthewes, of Canton NC, U.S.A. states:

Dr David A Matthewes lists Katherine Menzies as being born in 1772 and confirms that William Menzies and Elizabeth Medcalf had eleven children, several of whom did not survive childhood. Katherine was one of the eleven children listed in Dr Matthewes research.

From Geoffrey West-6495

My Scottish research was mainly conducted online or via a professional Scottish researcher Dr Rosemary Bigwood. One of the records which she reported back to me was a verbatim copy of the Will/Testament of William, Menzies-1115. This was registered in Edinburgh and was dated 28 Dec 1770. At that time William named as Executors, his wife and his children as were then alive, namely as John, Jean, Elizabeth and Janet, but with provision for any further children to be added. At the time of his death, the document was registered on 28 Oct 1793. At that date his children living were recorded as John, Elizabeth, Janet, Robert, William, and Jean. The last three were still minors.
