• Notes

  1 - Duncan married a daughter of MacFarlane of Tullichentaull. They had five sons and three daughters. The sons were George, John, Andrew, Walter and Duguld. George succeeded his father. Duguld was the progenitor of the families of Ledard and Acharossan. Dugald, the founder of the family, was a great grandson of 'Black John', fourth son of John, 15th Chief of Macfarlane (1612-1624). He married Margaret, daughter of Robert Crauford of Inverlaurin in Glen Fruin, Dunbartonshire. They had six sons and one daughter: Duncan, Walter, Andrew, Robert, George, John and Janet. Dugald was laird of Kilmuir and acquired the property of Acharossan by purchase. He died in 1779. Margaret died in 1818.
