John, can you give us a naming pattern? As people from Scotland followed; Eldest son after paternal grandfather, second son named after the maternal grandfather and so on. We know that ROB was Presbyterian and that toward the end of his life he turned Catholic, the Priest in mention was Alexander Drummond. My McGrigors are spelled Grigor also. James Mohr (big James may have had a William) The I.G.I shows a William m to Janet McGregor 13 August 1776?? I have some of the Balquhidder Parish Record, out, over at LDS right now, I don't see alot of Williams. Where and what parish, or farm are yours from? There sure is lots of Fergussons and Buchanans tho. And DRUMMONDS, most likely alias of McGregor. There was a William McGregor who was a gatekeeper who came to Ontario. I see there is a John DRUMMOND m to a Margaret McLaren in your area, that had a WILLIIAM born at Licherdan? (not sure what this is) born 1774. See if you can give me more clues to go on...

Good evening all When I was young too I was told that my grandmother's Malloch ancestors were descended from Rob Roy and like John, I became interested in Genealogy through trying to prove that tale. Apart from the fact that Malloch was one of the names taken by the McGregors when they were proscribed and thanks to Annie I discovered that my ggreatgrandfather Donald Malloch, his father and uncle all swore allegiance to the McGregor chief in ( I think)1812, I have not got any further forward Kay

More McGregors. We are aware that Robs brother John married Christian of Duneaves and had a son Gregor Glhun Dhubh who married Mary of Bardowie 1708 QUESTION # 1 Is there anyone who is researching Gregors brother Donald and his sister Catherine, these two, would be neice and nephew of Rob Roy (Red) McGregor? QUESTION # 2 Would anyone on this list be close to the MITCHELL Library in Scotland who would be able to look a the DICK tree, this tree has a male line finished down from ROB ROY and should be able to HELP all of us, searching for a connection re: Rob.

To Angus Robinson, I was wondering if you might by some chance have an Emma Robertson in your line. She was born in 1877 & her parents were James Robertson & Emma McBe(a)th. They were married in Stirling & John was born in Lochgilpead, Argyll. James died before 1902 as he was deceased for the wedding of Emma Robertson & John McInnes. Emma McBeth remarried a Murray. I believe Emma Robertson's parents were from Stirling, Stirling & married on 24/Nov 1865. I have found a Charles Frederick Robertson born to James & Emma Robertson who was born on 27 Jun 1867 in the IGI but no other children to this couple, not even Emma. This Charles Frederick rings bells for me as we have 2 Charles Frederick McInnes's born since the marriage of Emma Robertson & John McInnes & could not find where the name came from. It does not come from the McInnes line. One of our Charles Frederick McInnes's is the son of Emma Robertson & John McInnes, the other is their grandson from Charles brother John. I hope you can understand my ramblings if not just hit delete <grin>. Carolyn McInnes mcinnes@net2000.com.au

Anne, Do you have a Mary MacGregor who married a Gannaway in Virginis! It is believe that he father was a Edmund MacGregor. Mary MacGregor b. between 1720-1723, Aberdeen, Scotland, d. 11 Nov 1793, Buchingham, VA. m. John Gannaway abt. 1746... These are my 8th generation Grandparents! Thank you, Carol Ann,

I am researching the family of Mary Morin Waugh who married Thomas Smith a farmer of Ellsness, Sanday Orkney in 1847. Mary was a niece of John Anderson who was the minister of Lady Kirk. Mary and Thomas Smith had 5 children. On the youngest's entry in the register of births for 1855, it gives Thomas' birthplace as Killagarvin. Does anyone know where Killagarvin is? I don't see it in my maps of Scotland or in Gregor Lamb's Naggles o Piapittem for Orkney and I've had no replies from the Orkney List. Joanna Waugh Hamilton, Ontario Canada

Hi Michael, I have a gggrandmother whose name was Susanna Ann STANNER Stevens. She married John Laidlaw Scott. Their son John Henry Stevens Scott was born in London in 1874. He died in Victoria Australia in 1936. I realize that this is a long shot as the Stanner is probably her mothers maiden name & I don't have anything on her at all. Who knows maybe there is a relo out there. So far I haven't been able to find ANYTHING on this line at all. The info I have has come from Australian records & I have had no luck in the UK even with a census. Carolyn McInnes

Good Morning Annie, When I was a little boy my grandmother who was born in 1890 told me we were descended from Rob Roy's family via his sister. I repeated this tale to my children and in due course when my son was studying history at university he challenged me to prove it. This is why I became interested in genealogy. My son's first objection was that Rob Roy's sister's children would have used their father's name. I explained to him that Highlanders frequently used their mother's name and their father and mother might well have had the same name. Unfortunately, the McGREGOR line is one I have had a little success with. My most remote McGREGOR ancestor is William McGREGOR born circa 1780. (He used the spelling McGRIGOR.) William was a blacksmith, married to Janet FERGUSSON. I do not know where he was born. His son Andrew born in 1808 worked and died in Glasgow. The IGI indicates another son, William, who was born in 1815 to William McGRIGOR and Janet FERGUSSON. There are a number of McGrigor's who were married to Ferguson in the graveyard at Balquhidder. Can you help me? John Shearer

More information for the list regarding Marks most informative letter Re. McGregors and a Rob Roy connection dated September 21. I also research this line trying to find a Rob Roy tie.. Mark mentions the books of Murray and Nigel Tranter, which I have read in full with much enjoyment.. Other books that I have found helpfull are: Turbulent Years by Alasdair Alpin McGregor; Highland Constable by Hamilton Howlett; Book of Garth and Fortingall by Duncan Campbell 1827; Historical Memoirs of Rob Roy by Nigel Tranter; Braes of Balquhidder by Elizebeth Beauchamp; Clan McGregor by Forbes McGregor; The Heartland Nigel Tranter; In Famed Breadalbane by The Rev Gillies; Survey of Lochtayside by Margaret McArthur; Chronicles of Atholl and Tullibardine; The Red and white book of Menzie by D.P. Menzie; The McGregors and their chiefs by John McGregor; The Black Book of Taymouth; The Gregarach, the Strange Adventures of Rob Roy's sons by A. H. Millar; and many many more.. Having gathered information for several years now on Rob and his siblings, I have found that Robs son Coll had a daughter Kate whom married a Duncan (have a picture from the Quaich that looks exactly like my father) and they lived at a house at Strathyre, that was once owned by Robs son James Mor. I have in my notes that Coll may have had a son Grigor who married Katherine McIver about 1741ish.. they had TWINS Donald and Duncan born Nov 1st 1742.. As twins run in my family, I'm thinking maybe this is the Duncan I search for for parent for my Grigor born 1769 at Auchmore Estate, which for sure is not far from Strathyre, 10 12 miles if I remember right. So we would have Rob born 1671 Coll born about 1695 Grigor born about `1725ish Duncan 1741ish My Grigor born for sure 1769 I have looked at the other sons also and their families, as well as Black Knee Grigor of Glengyle...Would anyone be researching this line???
