About Agnes Eleanor Wallace-Dunlop of Dunlop

The Book of Wallace, Volume I by Charles Rogers, 1889, page 83-84

Agnes Eleanor, the eldest daughter, married Joseph Elias Perochon, a London merchant, whose father was a native of France. Latterly afflicted with blindness, M. Perochon established his residence at Castlebank, in Dumfries, and here Mrs Perochon had an opportunity, of which she fully availed herself, of extending to Burns' widow that generous consideration which her mother had exercised to the poet himself. In evidence of respect and gratitude, Mrs Burns acceded to Mrs Perochon's request for the use of that place of sepulture in St. Michael's Churchyard wherein, prior to their removal to the vault under the mausoleum, the poet's remains were deposited. ... Mrs Perochon died on 16 October 1825, and her remains, as she had desired, were committed to the poet's grave. at the spot a tombstone celebrates her worth.
