Hi Tricia I have a MacPhail family who were farming at Laggan in the 1800s too (for at least 30 years, from 1851, 1861 & 1871 census records). I understand from living descendants on Mull that some of this Laggan branch of the family are now in Sutherland. The MacPhails from Laggan were: Angus MacPhail (1786-1875)(s/o Donald MacPhail & Sarah Fletcher) & Mary MacPhail (m/n MacPhail) (d/o John MacPhail & Janet MacKinnon). They had 8 children that I know of and have acounted for 6. The elusive ones are John MacPhail b. around 1822, and Archibald b. 31/12/1829 - both were still alive in 1871 - and both were recorded as living at Laggan. Before 1851 Angus & his family were at Moy. One of Angus' daughters, Margaret (1825-1890) married Alexander MacEachern (MacKechnie) who was the son of John MacEachern & Margaret (or sometimes Catherine) MACDOUGALL. There are no descendants of Margaret & Alexander. I also have MacPhail/MacPherson. Archibald MacPhail (1781-1837) (s/o ?) married Anne MacPheson (1788-1875) d/o Alexander MacPherson & Catherine MacPhail). Ann MacPherson's siblings were: Hector MacPherson (1790-1872), Isabella MacPherson (1794-1877) & Mary MacPherson (married Donald Russel) and produced Archibald Russel in 1835. I've no other details on these MacPhersons. Can you let me know more about your Laggan family and MacPherson family?
