Hello everyone, I am new to the list, so forgive me for the failure to include information in my first posting. In short, I am searching for the Sutherland Family of MeikleFerry. Here is a little bit about them... Angus 1 Sutherland b.c 1660 d.1745, he was Tutor of ArdRoss, and was said to have been taken prisoner on the Earl of Cromarty's entrance into Sutherlandshire. He had at least 2 children: Angus 2, and Kenneth 2. Kenneth 2 married a Christina ROSS, of Ross-shire. Kenneth 2 had children: Angus, David, Donald, Janet and Christina Sutherland. Donald 3 (born Meikleferry) , married Christina GORDON,the 12th of April 1788 in Dornoch. her parents: James Gordon of Golspie, and Jane Mackay., her parents were married at Dunvedin...and via the marriage of Donald Sutherland and Christina Gordon, ties us to the 12th Earl of Sutherland. Donald 3 died in 1798 of apoplexy, and Christina Gordon, later re-married a: Capt. George Munro, and had children: James, Mary and Isabella Munro. This Capt Munro died behind near the Meikleferry when his horse fell. Donald 3 Sutherland and Christina Gordon had 5 children: Spencer, Kenneth, John, Jane and Christina. Kenneth 4 Sutherland, was said to have been a Tutor to the children of the Earl of Caithness. Further information shall follow in future. Should anyone happen to know anything no matter how small about this family, it would be most truly appreciated. I have been told that there was an Old Sutherland Home, since 1625 in Meikleferry, that was supposed to have been demolished in the 1970's...but we are still trying to locate the photo. The family is also tied to a Leslie family....Hugh Leslie, a proctorfiscal in Dornoch married our Christina Sutherland, and they had many children....one was a Lieut. Angus Leslie b.1789, baptized Dornoch, and died 25 March 1856 and he is buried at Dornoch Cemetary. He was in the 93rd regiment. Anyways, any information is appreciated., would love to hear from you. Most Cordially, Theresa Coleman
