  Notes	(Research):William Millar "soldier, Lochaber Regiment", and Agnes Muir m. in Falkirk parrish, Scotland, Jan 16, 1799. Lochaber Fencibles (1799) The influence which the family of Lochiel possessed in the Highlands was not extinguished by the exile of Gentle Lochie, the chief of the clan Cameron, from his native country for his part in The 'Forty-Five', as was fully evinced when the estates of the family of Lochiel were restored to Donald Cameron of Lochiel, the 22nd clan chief. In consequence of the strong attachment which his clan still retained for the family, he was appointed colonel of a Fencible corps to be raised in Scotland, with the designation of the Lochaber Fencible Highlanders.[40] The clan, and indeed all Lochaber, immediately responded to the call of the chief, and in a very short time upwards of 560 Highlanders were enrolled. The number of recruits was increased to 800 by the exertions of officers in other parts of the country, and the whole were assembled at Falkirk in May, 1799. As some of the Highlanders afterwards volunteered into regiments of the line, others were raised to supply the vacancies thus occasioned, so that the total number of Highlanders who entered the Lochaber Fencibles, was 1,740.[40] In 1800 the regiment was moved to Ireland; but its military duty was short. It returned to Scotland in 1802, and was disbanded at Linlithgow in the month of July of that year.[40] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Fencible_Corps#Lochaber_Fencibles_(1799) Fencible Regiments - Lochaber  1799 https://electricscotland.com/history/sketches/highlandsketches101.htm
