I know some of you researching Flemings in Tulliemet in Logierait Parish use this web site so the following I've bumped in to, whilst researching Camerons there, may be of interest:
1)Earliest record in RPC is David Fleming at Craigfiorne(now Cragganfearn)in 1607
2)1685 Fencible List in NAS includes:
-Alex Flemyng at Kerrandrum
-John Fleming at Croftfuil
-William Fleming at Croftnacusag
3)1705 Fencible List at Blair includes:
-Alex at Kerrandrum
4)Tenancy List in 1707 at Blair has John Fleming at Croftlaguish
No further entries in the Blair tenancy records occur at least not by 1760.Probably like the Camerons they were reduced to 'Cottars' by this time and hence are difficult to trace across the generations given the limitations of the parish records.
Hope this helps.
Anyone interested in Flemings,Camerons etc in Tulliemet?

I am new to Rootschat, and I am interested in the Flemings, my ancestors, who lived at Cragganfearn. I do not understand all of your references and terminology, though. What are:
RPC Reformed Presbyterian Church?
NAS National Archives of Scotland?
What is a Fencible List?
Where did you locate a Tenancy List of 1707?
Where did you locate a Blair tenancy list?
I am very interested in your information. I am trying to go back and list the sources for my data, and I have little information further back than Laird of Cragganfearn, b. abt. 1730 -- no spouse, no given name, no information about siblings.
I have over 2000 names in Family Tree Maker, but I just looked and I have no "Camerons", I am sorry to say. I do have a book "Braes o' Tullymet" by Jane M. Banner that lists an Alex Cameron, a blacksmith, who develops a plow.

RPC is Register of the Privy Council which comprises a series of records of the meetings of the Council from the 16th century onwards.
NAS is the National Archives Scotland.Catalogue is searchable on line
The 1685 Fencible List is now believed to have been misdated and is a version of the 1705 list published by the Duke of Atholl in his Chronicles of Atholl and Tulliebardine.It is a list of men and their weapons the Duke could call on if he was involved in a war.
The Atholl Archives are held at Blair Castle.Written permission to access is needed.They include the rental records of the Atholl Estate.The tenants of Cragganfearn are shown there from 1707.It does not show any Flemings as tenants at Cragganfearn.A farmtown such as Cragganfearn would have had several families there at any given time.The tenant 's own family and the families of those that worked for him.
I think most accept now that the Fleming Laird of Cragganfearn never existed.The Flemings in the area were ordinary people working on the land and are recorded in the Old Parish Records for Logierait see Scotland People Database..
Hope this helps ;)
