Dear all, I was wondering whether anyone on the list had a particular interest in the Mackintoshes of Borlum. I am trying to locate information relating to William Dearg, the famous Brigadier who was involved in the 1715 uprising and held the Raitts Estate near Kingussie, and also William's brother Lachlan (of Knocknagael; b. 1665), who became Bailie of Badenoch after his father. Indeed, I am trying to locate the birth place of Lachlan's eldest son, John Mhor Mackintosh (b. March 1700, m. in Dores in March 1725). Perhaps Knocknagael... but I wondered whether his father would have had a residence in the Kingussie area along with his office of bailie. John Mhor was a recruiting officer in Inverness-shire for the Darien settlement in Georgia. Can anyone recommend any leads? Best wishes, Paul. ==================================== HIGHLAND HOMECOMINGS PROJECT http://www.scotweb.org/homecomings homecomings@scotweb.org Highland Folk Museum Duke Street Kingussie Inverness-shire PH21 1JG Scotland Tel: (local) 01540 662435 (international) 00 441 540 662 435 Fax: (local) 01540 661631 (international) 00 441 540 661 631
