I am searching for information for those that lived at Ardross during the period 1700-1790ish...would anyone happen to have parish registers, or anything that might help me? Searching for a SUTHERLAND family. Theresa.

Theresa, I have (well, at home in New Zealand anyway) copies of all witness statements from criminal trials resulting from the 1792 "Year of the Sheep" disturbance which the wedding of my Strathrusdale-resident forebears John ROSS alias Davidson and Helen MUNRO alias McAdie helped to spur. Many Strathrusdale and Ardross people were mentioned, but I'm afraid none were SUTHERLANDs to the best of my recollection. There are also militia lists of men aged 16-60 from the late 1700s which I think are in the Seaforth (Mackenzie) papers. I'm sure I had copies of these returns for Alness and Kiltearn parishes, but I'm not sure if they are available for Rosskeen parish (for Ardross). Also I'm afraid I can't recall the year the data was gathered. Sorry I'm not of much help, but perhaps another lister with that information at his/her fingertips could assist?
