Do we really not see a possible connection to men all listed as holding lands of Bute? How many Fearchars of Bute do you think there were? Notice I said "possible." John In a message dated 5/20/2011 10:04:21 A.M. Central Daylight Time, equisand@equiformratings.com writes: Yes, and?
I don't really understand what you're asking, but what I know about Ferchar/Fearchar and Lamont land on Bute is this: Ferchar/Fearchar don't seem to have lasted long as a popular first name and the last one I recall having read about was the Ferchado Johannis Cristini Lammanii I mentioned earlier today, from a 1431 Charter. As I said in that posting though, I wonder whether Ferchado as used in that charter doesn't perhaps mean Johannis Christini Lammanii who was 'in the Ferchar line', so it may mean John son of Cristin son of Laumon, of the Fearchar blood-line. That makes sense at least in that we know that John was the 3rd Chief of Lamont, the one who supported Bailiol. Of Bute property, I do know that by around 1400, Houstoun definitely wasn't in Lamont hands, because around that time, 'Houstoun of Houstoun' was one of three Bute Lords killed by three or four Lamont brothers, allegedly for molesting the womenfolk of Lamont tackmen. The three (or four) Lamonts left the area in a hurry and the Court took a dim view of the Lamonts' actions, and stripped the Lamont family of even more land.
