• Notes

  1 - He may have died on 24 January 1797. He is said to have served as a soldier in Jamaica and to have later resided at Earn in the Barony of Ruskie in Menteith near Doune, Perthshire [from 'The barons of Arrochar and their cadets' a manuscript by Chevalier Terrance Gach MacFarlane Chapt 5 - 20d] 2 - I thought that James son of Duncan [CC139 grandson of Andrew of Ardess18th Baron, 15th chief] and this James were the same man before the yDNA test results showed that they were not. I have the author's notes for the History of Clan M'F in my attic. The author, James Macfarlane, received two letters from Pollard cousins in 1913 which gave the Rev. James's father as James (the latter whom my cousin seems to have conflated with James son of Duncan). The letters show the first James (died 1797) as having two older brothers: one, who went to America or Canada; and another, who went to India and made a fortune. The letter also says that their father's name was unknown. [E-mail from Terrance Gach MacFarlane to Scott Macfarlane Aust. cc'd to editor 6 Mar 2011]
