506	(Research):avid Lindsay, 8th earl of Crawford (d. 1542), son of Alexander, the 7th earl (d. 1517), had a son Alexander, master of Crawford (d. 1542), called the "wicked master," who quarrelled with his father and tried to kill him. Consequently he was sentenced to death, and the 8th earl conveyed the earldom to his kinsman, David Lindsay of Edzell (d. 1558), a descendant of the 3rd earl of Crawford, thus excluding Alexander and his descendants, and in 1542 David became 9th earl of Crawford. But the 9th earl, although he had at least two sons, named the wicked master's son David as his heir, and consequently in 1558 the earldom came back to the elder line of the Lindsays, the 9th earl being called the "interpolated earl." David Lindsay, 10th earl of Crawford (d. 1574), was a supporter of Mary Queen of Scots; he was succeeded by his son David (c. 1547-1607) as 11th earl. This David, a grandson of Cardinal Beaton, was concerned in some of the risings under James VI.; he was converted to Roman Catholicism and was in communication with the Spaniards about an invasion of England. After his death the earldom passed to his son David (d. 1621), a lawless ruffian, and then to his brother, Sir Henry Lindsay or Charteris (d. 1623), who became 13th earl of Crawford. Sir Henry's three sons became in turn earls of Crawford, the youngest, Ludovic, succeeding in 1639.	Lindsay, David 10th Earl of Crawford (I70280)

510	(Research):Balquhidder - Rob Roy Mcgregor Balquhidder was the scene of some of the exploits of Rob Roy, who is buried there. Rob Roy Mcgregor was born at Glengyle in 1671. He fought alongside his father in the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689 on the then successful Jacobite side. Upon the death of his father, Rob Roy became clan chief at the age of thirty. Late in 1711 Rob Roy borrowed money from the Duke of Montrose to purchase cattle for the following year's market. But in early 1712 Rob Roy's head drover, having purchased the cattle, then sold it on and disappeared with the funds. Rob Roy returned from an unsuccessful search for the drover to find he had been bankrupted and outlawed by the Duke of Montrose, his lands had been seized and his family evicted. Rob Roy sought revenge on the Duke of Montrose through a sustained campaign of cattle-rustling, theft and banditry. This included kidnapping Montrose's factor, complete with over ?3,000 of rent money he was carrying at the time. Rob Roy was subsequently hunted as a common outlaw. His family were evicted from their home and moved to Glen Dochart, whilst Rob Roy himself took shelter at Finlarig Castle in Killin. Rob Roy was captured in 1717 close to Balquhidder, but he managed to escape whilst crossing the River Forth and was subsequently recaptured in Dunkeld and sent to prison in Logierait. However he again managed to escape from prison and in 1720 Rob Roy moved to Balquhidder Glen and a small shack at Inverlochlarig. Despite his dangerous lifestyle which included roles in the 1717 and 1719 Jacobite uprisings, Rob Roy died peacefully in his bed at home aged 63 at Inverlochlarig Beg on the 27th December 1734 and is buried in historical Balquhidder churchyard. His gravestone is inscribed with a line from MacGregor's Gathering by Sir Walter Scott, 'MacGregor Despite Them'. The final Jacobite Rebellion at the Battle of Culloden in 1745 had disastrous consequences for the area. In Balquhidder glen, many clans including MacGregors, MacLarens and Stewarts had supported the forces of Prince Charles Edward, Bonnie Prince Charlie. Lands were forfeit and clansman and families burned out of their homes. The MacGregor estate Invercarnaig was laid waste and the remains of their burial ground are still visible at the top of Loch Doine. The wearing of Highland dress was forbidden as was carrying arms. Even the bagpipe was outlawed, classed for the purpose of the Act, as weapon of war. In 1803, the MacLarens of Invernenty, at the west of Balquhidder glen , having held their lands since the Middle Ages emigrated to Nova Scotia.	McIntrye, John Thomas (I18900)

He was recorded as arriving from Ireland (1796) via the United States to Canada (1816). Attempts to identify his family have failed as for a search for the family name of Henrietta, his wife. It appears she lived in or about, Providence Rode Island, United States before coming to Canada with William. Old Town of Coxsackie March 24th 1772, the northern par of what is now Greene county was formed into a district called the District of Coxsackie, and it was erected into a town March 7th 1788. Of the public records made during the time it was a district, scarcely a vestige remains, except the laying out of a few roads. The only document which is of a public nature, that has been found, is the assessment roll of the year 1787, and the importance of this, as being the only list of taxable inhabitants of this part of the county at that date, fully justifies us in giving it entire. It includes what are now the towns of Durham, Greenville, Coxsackie, New Baltimore, Athens and Cairo. A Tax List of the District of Coxsackie, agreeable to a warrant assigned to us the subscribers' assessors of said District, dated the 12th day of June 1787 by the Board of Supervisors for the County of Albany, at 2 1/2 d. on a pound: FIRST NAME LAST NAME TAX(?)

518	(Research):Biography : From "History of Fillmore County;" Vol. II; Frederick Curtiss-Wedge, comp.; Chicago: H.C. Cooper, Jr. & Co., 1912; pp. 1032-33 : Alexander Ferguson, deceased, who was one of the successful and highly respected farmers of Fillmore county, was born in North Sherbrooke, Canada, August 19, 1837, son of Duncan and Barbara (Currie) Ferguson, natives of Argyleshire, Scotland, who came to Fillmore county in 1862, where the father acquired land which he broke and developed. Alexander was educated in the schools of Canada, came with his parents to this county in 1862, and purchased 200 acres of land in section seven, Arendahl township, where he engaged in general agriculture and became a substantial citizen. In connection with his general farming interests he raised many cattle, sheep and hogs, and realized from this branch a profitable income. He was a staunch Republican and was elected to serve as a member of both town and school boards, discharging the duties of all offices to which he was elected with credit to himself and with satisfaction to all. He was united in marriage to Janet Gillmore in the year 1864, and their marriage was blessed with two children: Duncan and Janet G. The latter is now Mrs. Samuel Randall. Janet (Gillmore) Ferguson died September, 1867, and on February 14, 1882, Mr. Ferguson married Maggie McKay, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter McKay, and to this marriage four children were born: Alister P., Ethel M., Florence M. and Charles McDonald. Ethel M. is now Mrs. Henry Cocker, of Winona county. Alexander Ferguson died April 9, 1886. Mrs. Ferguson then rented the farm until 1900, since which date she and her children have conducted it. The farm is known as "Faraway." (note - The biography does not mention the marriage on May 1,1873 to Isabella Gilmore, sister of his 1st wife, Janet. She, like her sister Janet, died of Typhoid fever on Sept.4,1873, four months after their marriage)	Ferguson, Alexander (I9150)

524	(Research):Birth: Aug. 18, 1812 Death: Apr. 21, 1842 Wrangell Wrangell Borough Alaska, USA John McLoughlin Jr., who could have had a promising medical career, was only reluctantly let into the service of the Hudson Bay Compnay and was eventually shot in the back by his own men who rebelled against his tyranny. He spent the early part of his life in Terrebonne with his great-uncle Dr. Simon Fraser and in 1834 he was sent back from his medical studies in Paris for some unexplained offece. Because of John's conduct, George Simpson blocked him from Hudson Bay Company employment or passage to the Columbia. In 1837, however, in an effort to curb his rebellious activities at Red River, Simpson offered young John the position of surgeon at Fort McLoughlin, but crossing the mountains with his father in 1838 he chose instead to serve at Fort Vancouver. For two years he accompanied the express across the mountains until June 1840 when he was sent to Fort Stikine under William Glenn Rae. In 1841, he was placed in charge with Roderick Finlayson as his assistant but when Finlayson was removed to Fort Simpson, McLoughlin was left without proper support. According to dispositions taken in 1842, his drinking and violent streaks became more pronounced and, in drunken stupors, he would pummel his servants with his fists and whip them until the blood ran. One night, after being threatened by William Lassert and Urbain Heroux, a drunken John Jr., armed with his own rifle tried to find the hidden pair to either punish them or kill them. Failing to find them, he rushed into the centre area yelling "Fire! Fire!" but four shots rang out, the fatal one entering his shoulder and exiting his throat. Coincidentally, Simpson arrived five days later and,after a brief investigation, deemed it "Justfiable Homicide", a verdict for which Dr. John McLoughlin never forgave the governor. Conflicting dispositions taken at the time indicate McLoughlin to have been a moderate man who was assassinated without reason. The truth lies somewhere in between as in 1840 Rae found future assassinators Heroux a "good man" and Lasserte "a smart lad," whereas he spoke scornfully about others at the same time. After his death, McLoughlin was taken to the main house, quite likely on the initiative of the Kanakas, (although Pierre Kanaguasse claimed he initiated the process), and his body was washed and dried. Kanaguasse took McLoughlin's ring, which Powpow took back and gave to McLoughlin's wife. A coffin was then built and the corpse removed from the main house to the bath. On the third day, the corpse was carried to an open grave by Lasserte, Fran?cois Presse, Louis Leclaire and some Kanakas. The remains of the young surgeon were later disinterred and brought to Fort Vancouver for burial on October 10, 1843 and he was finally laid to rest on October 12. ~ HBC Surgeon, Fort Vancouver (1838); Surgeon and clerk disposable, Fort Vancouver (1838-1839); Surgeon and clerk, Fort Vancouver general charges (1839-1840); Surgeon and clerk, Fort Stikine (1839-1840); Surgeon and clerk, and assistant to W.G.

531	(Research):Brief Life History 23 People Following ?W 165 Past Contributors The Colquhouns were feuding with the MacFarlanes, the MacGregors, and the Buchanans. In order to settle the Buchanan feud, Alexander Colquhoun married the daughter of Sir George Buchanan of that Ilk, Helen Buchanan. That seems to have finally settled affairs betwixt the 2 clans. The marriage contract was signed on 25 Oct 1596. Alexander Colquhoun died on 23 May 1617. Alexander Colquhoun and his wife, Helen Buchanan had 6 sons and 5 daughters is parentage, from the 1844 book by Sir William Fraser, The Chiefs of Colquhoun and their Country: Alexander Colquhoun and his wife, Helen Buchanan had 6 sons and 5 daughters (listed as males first, then females): 1. John, who succeeded him and was created a baronet. 2. Humphrey of Balvie, who inherited the Colquhoun estate at Balvie from his father. 3. Alexander 4. Walter, who with his brother, George, moved to Sweden and became cannon makers to King Adolphus Gustavus. 5. Adam, who inherited the lands in Ireland 6. George, who went to Sweden. See Walter. 7. Jean, who married Allan, 5th Lord Cathcart in 1626. She remarried upon his death to Sir Duncan Campbell, Baronet, of Auchinbrecht. Her 3rd husband was Sir William Hamilton, Knight, and 3rd son of James, Earl of Abercorn. 8. Nancy, who married a McAuley and moved to Ireland. 9. Katharine, who married Sir John Mure of Auchindraine, Knight. 10. Helen 11. Mary In 1616, Sir Alexander Colquhoun of Luss, was gifted land in Ireland from the King. He was given a portion of 1000 English acres, in the precinct of Portlough, Barony of Raphoe, County of Donegal, Ireland, which became known as the Manor of Corkagh. His obligations as to the Irish lands were that 1) he would annually pay the King (after the 1st two years), ?5, 6 shillings, 8 cents; 2) make upon the land within 2 years a strong Court or Bawn; 3) have ready in his house at all times a convenient store of arms, with which to furnish a competent number of men for their defense; 4) Place, within 2 years, a competent number of English or inland Scots tenants upon his portion; 5) Be present, or place someone to be present, for 5 years upon the property; and 6) Enter a bond of ?200 for due performance of these conditions. Alexander sent his daughter, Nancy, and her husband, John McAuselan (younger son of the Baron McAuselan), to live on the land and to develop it to the standards of the Crown. In Alexander's first will, he gave the Irish inheritance of Corkagh Manor to Nancy and John McAuselan, but just before his death (in fact on 16 May 1617), Alexander changed his will to give over the land to his son, Adam, instead. Alexander Colquhoun died on 23 May 1617. Regardless of the disappointment on not inheriting Corkagh, Nancy and John continued living at the Manor and managing it for Adam Colquhoun (Nancy's brother). The new Laird of Luss, Nancy's brother, John... realizing what expenses Adam we have at Corkagh, agreed upon a sufficient provision for his brother Adam, to maintain the Estate. Acting under a Royal Commission, Captain Nicholas Pynner made a visit to Corkagh in late 1618, and said this: The Precinct of Portlough, appointed to Scottish undertakers, 1000 acres...the Laird of Luss hath 1000 acres called Corkagh. Upon this land there is a Bawne of clay and stone, 60 feet square, 10 feet high with 2 flankers and a poor house within it, which is thatched. I find planted and estated upon this land: 2 Freeholders, one having 300 acres, one having 100 acres; 3 Lessees, one having 330 acres, one having 300 acres, one having 195 acres; 5 Cottagers. Each of these have a house and garden plot. Total: 10 families, who with their undertenants are able to make 26 men, wherof 5 of the best have taken the Oath of Supremacy. About 1621, Adam Colquhoun married Christian Lindsay, probably in Dunbartonshire, where they both lived. (I found a reference to Adam Colquhoun "who married a daughter of Lindsay of Bonhill"...Bonhill is a town in the Vale of Leven area of West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It is sited on the Eastern bank of the River Leven, on the opposite bank from the larger town of Alexandria. This makes total sense!). Other references refer to Christian as being from Bonniel, which is obviously a corruption of Bonhill. They had at least 2 children, Robert (born about 1622) and Helen (born about 1625). There may have been other children but they did not survive infancy. Christian Lindsay died about 1629 in Dumbarton, Dunbartonshire. Adam was a merchant there. Shortly after 1629, at the death of Adam Colquhoun's wife, Christian Lindsay, he took his 2 children to Ireland for his sister, Nancy, to raise and look after. In 1630, Adam Colquhoun signed over his Irish Land Grant to his son, Robert Colquhoun. In 1641, young Robert married his cousin, Katherine McAuselan, daughter of his aunt and uncle Nancy and John McAuselan. Calendar of Patent and Close Rolls (1630): Letters of Patent and Denizen, to Robert Colquhoun and grant to Him, his Heirs & Assigns, for ever, as an Undertaker of the Province of Ulster, of the small proportion of Corkagh, in the Precinct of Portlough, Barony of Raphoe, County of Donegal, containing 1000 acres, in Free & Common Soccage; The lands are created into a Manor, to be called the Manor of Corkagh. Thus did Robert Colquhoun come to stand in the place of his grandfather, Sir Alexander, Laird of Luss, as an undertaker of the Province of Ulster, in the year of 1630. And so the Irish land stayed in the joint Colquhoun-McAuselan family after all. Last Changed: November 16, 2022 D Diane Calhoun	Colquhoun, Adam Laird of Colquhoun, merchant of Dumbarton (I70208)

(Research):avid Lindsay, 8th earl of Crawford (d. 1542), son of Alexander, the 7th earl (d. 1517), had a son Alexander, master of Crawford (d. 1542), called the "wicked master," who quarrelled with his father and tried to kill him. Consequently he was sentenced to death, and the 8th earl conveyed the earldom to his kinsman, David Lindsay of Edzell (d. 1558), a descendant of the 3rd earl of Crawford, thus excluding Alexander and his descendants, and in 1542 David became 9th earl of Crawford. But the 9th earl, although he had at least two sons, named the wicked master's son David as his heir, and consequently in 1558 the earldom came back to the elder line of the Lindsays, the 9th earl being called the "interpolated earl."

David Lindsay, 10th earl of Crawford (d. 1574), was a supporter of Mary Queen of Scots; he was succeeded by his son David (c. 1547-1607) as 11th earl. This David, a grandson of Cardinal Beaton, was concerned in some of the risings under James VI.; he was converted to Roman Catholicism and was in communication with the Spaniards about an invasion of England. After his death the earldom passed to his son David (d. 1621), a lawless ruffian, and then to his brother, Sir Henry Lindsay or Charteris (d. 1623), who became 13th earl of Crawford. Sir Henry's three sons became in turn earls of Crawford, the youngest, Ludovic, succeeding in 1639.

(Research):Balquhidder - Rob Roy Mcgregor
Balquhidder was the scene of some of the exploits of Rob Roy, who is buried there. Rob Roy Mcgregor was born at Glengyle in 1671. He fought alongside his father in the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689 on the then successful Jacobite side. Upon the death of his father, Rob Roy became clan chief at the age of thirty.

Late in 1711 Rob Roy borrowed money from the Duke of Montrose to purchase cattle for the following year's market. But in early 1712 Rob Roy's head drover, having purchased the cattle, then sold it on and disappeared with the funds. Rob Roy returned from an unsuccessful search for the drover to find he had been bankrupted and outlawed by the Duke of Montrose, his lands had been seized and his family evicted. Rob Roy sought revenge on the Duke of Montrose through a sustained campaign of cattle-rustling, theft and banditry. This included kidnapping Montrose's factor, complete with over ?3,000 of rent money he was carrying at the time. Rob Roy was subsequently hunted as a common outlaw.

His family were evicted from their home and moved to Glen Dochart, whilst Rob Roy himself took shelter at Finlarig Castle in Killin. Rob Roy was captured in 1717 close to Balquhidder, but he managed to escape whilst crossing the River Forth and was subsequently recaptured in Dunkeld and sent to prison in Logierait.

However he again managed to escape from prison and in 1720 Rob Roy moved to Balquhidder Glen and a small shack at Inverlochlarig. Despite his dangerous lifestyle which included roles in the 1717 and 1719 Jacobite uprisings, Rob Roy died peacefully in his bed at home aged 63 at Inverlochlarig Beg on the 27th December 1734 and is buried in historical Balquhidder churchyard. His gravestone is inscribed with a line from MacGregor's Gathering by Sir Walter Scott, 'MacGregor Despite Them'.

The final Jacobite Rebellion at the Battle of Culloden in 1745 had disastrous consequences for the area. In Balquhidder glen, many clans including MacGregors, MacLarens and Stewarts had supported the forces of Prince Charles Edward, Bonnie Prince Charlie. Lands were forfeit and clansman and families burned out of their homes. The MacGregor estate Invercarnaig was laid waste and the remains of their burial ground are still visible at the top of Loch Doine.

The wearing of Highland dress was forbidden as was carrying arms. Even the bagpipe was outlawed, classed for the purpose of the Act, as weapon of war. In 1803, the MacLarens of Invernenty, at the west of Balquhidder glen , having held their lands since the Middle Ages emigrated to Nova Scotia.

The patent for Lot 22 Concession 1 Bathurst was granted to William Adams in 1824 and remained in his family until the 1870s. He was recorded as arriving from Ireland (1796) via the United States to Canada (1816). Attempts to identify his family have failed as for a search for the family name of Henrietta, his wife. It appears she lived in or about, Providence Rode Island, United States before coming to Canada with William.

Old Town of Coxsackie

March 24th 1772, the northern par of what is now Greene county was formed into a district called the District of Coxsackie, and it was erected into a town March 7th 1788. Of the public records made during the time it was a district, scarcely a vestige remains, except the laying out of a few roads. The only document which is of a public nature, that has been found, is the assessment roll of the year 1787, and the importance of this, as being the only list of taxable inhabitants of this part of the county at that date, fully justifies us in giving it entire. It includes what are now the towns of Durham, Greenville, Coxsackie, New Baltimore, Athens and Cairo.

A Tax List of the District of Coxsackie, agreeable to a warrant assigned to us the subscribers' assessors of said District, dated the 12th day of June 1787 by the Board of Supervisors for the County of Albany, at 2 1/2 d. on a pound:

(Research):Biography : From "History of Fillmore County;" Vol. II; Frederick Curtiss-Wedge, comp.; Chicago: H.C. Cooper, Jr. & Co., 1912; pp. 1032-33 :
Alexander Ferguson, deceased, who was one of the successful and highly respected farmers of Fillmore county, was born in North Sherbrooke, Canada, August 19, 1837, son of Duncan and Barbara (Currie) Ferguson, natives of Argyleshire, Scotland, who came to Fillmore county in 1862, where the father acquired land which he broke and developed. Alexander was educated in the schools of Canada, came with his parents to this county in 1862, and purchased 200 acres of land in section seven, Arendahl township, where he engaged in general agriculture and became a substantial citizen. In connection with his general farming interests he raised many cattle, sheep and hogs, and realized from this branch a profitable income. He was a staunch Republican and was elected to serve as a member of both town and school boards, discharging the duties of all offices to which he was elected with credit to himself and with satisfaction to all. He was united in marriage to Janet Gillmore in the year 1864, and their marriage was blessed with two children: Duncan and Janet G. The latter is now Mrs. Samuel Randall. Janet (Gillmore) Ferguson died September, 1867, and on February 14, 1882, Mr. Ferguson married Maggie McKay, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter McKay, and to this marriage four children were born: Alister P., Ethel M., Florence M. and Charles McDonald. Ethel M. is now Mrs. Henry Cocker, of Winona county. Alexander Ferguson died April 9, 1886. Mrs. Ferguson then rented the farm until 1900, since which date she and her children have conducted it. The farm is known as "Faraway."

(note - The biography does not mention the marriage on May 1,1873 to Isabella Gilmore, sister of his 1st wife, Janet. She, like her sister Janet, died of Typhoid fever on Sept.4,1873, four months after their marriage)

John McLoughlin Jr., who could have had a promising medical career, was only reluctantly let into the service of the Hudson Bay Compnay and was eventually shot in the back by his own men who rebelled against his tyranny.

He spent the early part of his life in Terrebonne with his great-uncle Dr. Simon Fraser and in 1834 he was sent back from his medical studies in Paris for some unexplained offece. Because of John's conduct, George Simpson blocked him from Hudson Bay Company employment or passage to the Columbia. In 1837, however, in an effort to curb his rebellious activities at Red River, Simpson offered young John the position of surgeon at Fort McLoughlin, but crossing the mountains with his father in 1838 he chose instead to serve at Fort Vancouver. For two years he accompanied the express across the mountains until June 1840 when he was sent to Fort Stikine under William Glenn Rae.

In 1841, he was placed in charge with Roderick Finlayson as his assistant but when Finlayson was removed to Fort Simpson, McLoughlin was left without proper support. According to dispositions taken in 1842, his drinking and violent streaks became more pronounced and, in drunken stupors, he would pummel his servants with his fists and whip them until the blood ran. One night, after being threatened by William Lassert and Urbain Heroux, a drunken John Jr., armed with his own rifle tried to find the hidden pair to either punish them or kill them. Failing to find them, he rushed into the centre area yelling "Fire! Fire!" but four shots rang out, the fatal one entering his shoulder and exiting his throat. Coincidentally, Simpson arrived five days later and,after a brief investigation, deemed it "Justfiable Homicide", a verdict for which Dr. John McLoughlin never forgave the governor.

Conflicting dispositions taken at the time indicate McLoughlin to have been a moderate man who was assassinated without reason. The truth lies somewhere in between as in 1840 Rae found future assassinators Heroux a "good man" and Lasserte "a smart lad," whereas he spoke scornfully about others at the same time.

After his death, McLoughlin was taken to the main house, quite likely on the initiative of the Kanakas, (although Pierre Kanaguasse claimed he initiated the process), and his body was washed and dried. Kanaguasse took McLoughlin's ring, which Powpow took back and gave to McLoughlin's wife. A coffin was then built and the corpse removed from the main house to the bath. On the third day, the corpse was carried to an open grave by Lasserte, Fran?cois Presse, Louis Leclaire and some Kanakas. The remains of the young surgeon were later disinterred and brought to Fort Vancouver for burial on October 10, 1843 and he was finally laid to rest on October 12.

The Colquhouns were feuding with the MacFarlanes, the MacGregors, and the Buchanans. In order to settle the Buchanan feud, Alexander Colquhoun married the daughter of Sir George Buchanan of that Ilk, Helen Buchanan. That seems to have finally settled affairs betwixt the 2 clans. The marriage contract was signed on 25 Oct 1596.

Alexander Colquhoun died on 23 May 1617.

Alexander Colquhoun and his wife, Helen Buchanan had 6 sons and 5 daughters is parentage, from the 1844 book by Sir William Fraser, The Chiefs of Colquhoun and their Country:

Alexander Colquhoun and his wife, Helen Buchanan had 6 sons and 5 daughters (listed as males first, then females):
1. John, who succeeded him and was created a baronet.
2. Humphrey of Balvie, who inherited the Colquhoun estate at Balvie from his father.
3. Alexander
4. Walter, who with his brother, George, moved to Sweden and became cannon makers to King Adolphus Gustavus.
5. Adam, who inherited the lands in Ireland
6. George, who went to Sweden. See Walter.
7. Jean, who married Allan, 5th Lord Cathcart in 1626. She remarried upon his death to Sir Duncan Campbell, Baronet, of Auchinbrecht. Her 3rd husband was Sir William Hamilton, Knight, and 3rd son of James, Earl of Abercorn.
8. Nancy, who married a McAuley and moved to Ireland.
9. Katharine, who married Sir John Mure of Auchindraine, Knight.
10. Helen
11. Mary

In 1616, Sir Alexander Colquhoun of Luss, was gifted land in Ireland from the King. He was given a portion of 1000 English acres, in the precinct of Portlough, Barony of Raphoe, County of Donegal, Ireland, which became known as the Manor of Corkagh.

His obligations as to the Irish lands were that 1) he would annually pay the King (after the 1st two years), ?5, 6 shillings, 8 cents; 2) make upon the land within 2 years a strong Court or Bawn; 3) have ready in his house at all times a convenient store of arms, with which to furnish a competent number of men for their defense; 4) Place, within 2 years, a competent number of English or inland Scots tenants upon his portion; 5) Be present, or place someone to be present, for 5 years upon the property; and 6) Enter a bond of ?200 for due performance of these conditions.

Alexander sent his daughter, Nancy, and her husband, John McAuselan (younger son of the Baron McAuselan), to live on the land and to develop it to the standards of the Crown.

In Alexander's first will, he gave the Irish inheritance of Corkagh Manor to Nancy and John McAuselan, but just before his death (in fact on 16 May 1617), Alexander changed his will to give over the land to his son, Adam, instead.

Alexander Colquhoun died on 23 May 1617.

Regardless of the disappointment on not inheriting Corkagh, Nancy and John continued living at the Manor and managing it for Adam Colquhoun (Nancy's brother). The new Laird of Luss, Nancy's brother, John... realizing what expenses Adam we have at Corkagh, agreed upon a sufficient provision for his brother Adam, to maintain the Estate.

Acting under a Royal Commission, Captain Nicholas Pynner made a visit to Corkagh in late 1618, and said this:

The Precinct of Portlough, appointed to Scottish undertakers, 1000 acres...the Laird of Luss hath 1000 acres called Corkagh. Upon this land there is a Bawne of clay and stone, 60 feet square, 10 feet high with 2 flankers and a poor house within it, which is thatched. I find planted and estated upon this land: 2 Freeholders, one having 300 acres, one having 100 acres; 3 Lessees, one having 330 acres, one having 300 acres, one having 195 acres; 5 Cottagers. Each of these have a house and garden plot. Total: 10 families, who with their undertenants are able to make 26 men, wherof 5 of the best have taken the Oath of Supremacy.

About 1621, Adam Colquhoun married Christian Lindsay, probably in Dunbartonshire, where they both lived. (I found a reference to Adam Colquhoun "who married a daughter of Lindsay of Bonhill"...Bonhill is a town in the Vale of Leven area of West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It is sited on the Eastern bank of the River Leven, on the opposite bank from the larger town of Alexandria. This makes total sense!). Other references refer to Christian as being from Bonniel, which is obviously a corruption of Bonhill.

They had at least 2 children, Robert (born about 1622) and Helen (born about 1625). There may have been other children but they did not survive infancy.

Christian Lindsay died about 1629 in Dumbarton, Dunbartonshire. Adam was a merchant there.

Shortly after 1629, at the death of Adam Colquhoun's wife, Christian Lindsay, he took his 2 children to Ireland for his sister, Nancy, to raise and look after.

In 1630, Adam Colquhoun signed over his Irish Land Grant to his son, Robert Colquhoun. In 1641, young Robert married his cousin, Katherine McAuselan, daughter of his aunt and uncle Nancy and John McAuselan.

Calendar of Patent and Close Rolls (1630): Letters of Patent and Denizen, to Robert Colquhoun and grant to Him, his Heirs & Assigns, for ever, as an Undertaker of the Province of Ulster, of the small proportion of Corkagh, in the Precinct of Portlough, Barony of Raphoe, County of Donegal, containing 1000 acres, in Free & Common Soccage; The lands are created into a Manor, to be called the Manor of Corkagh.

Thus did Robert Colquhoun come to stand in the place of his grandfather, Sir Alexander, Laird of Luss, as an undertaker of the Province of Ulster, in the year of 1630.

And so the Irish land stayed in the joint Colquhoun-McAuselan family after all.

Mains and Strathmartine,

MAINS and STRATHMARTINE, a parish, in the county of Forfar; containing the villages of Baldovan and Kirkton, 2 miles (N. N. W.) from Dundee. The original name of the old parish of Mains was Strathdighty, descriptive of it as a valley watered by the river Dighty; and the name of the other parish, which is a continuation of the same valley, is said to have been derived from a stone erected on the north side of it, in commemoration of some valorous exploit performed by a hero of the name of Martine in the ancient days of chivalry. The church, erected in 1800, is conveniently situated, and is adapted for a congregation of 900 persons.[1]
