Hi Graham,
I reveiwed your post on the Beatons-Bethunes (including Betons and Patons) in Kilmuir Parish, Skye. My Beaton relations are in association to my 3rd Great grandmother; Margaret Beaton MacLeod, wife of Alexander MacLeod (he passed on August 27, 1855 in Totescore, [Kilmuir Parish, Skye]). His death record was signed by informant (brother-in-law*, Neil Beaton) Niel Bethune (Estimated Birth Year 1796) of [Cnockhoe/Knockhoe] Kilmuir Parish, Highlands, Scotland or (Knockoff, Cnockow, 2 Knockour) of the 1841 '51, '61 census- it is the town just a few km's to the SW of Bornaskitag. My 3rd Great Uncle was able to travel down to Linicro / Totescore witness the death and then sign the record that was filed with the Inverness County-Parish of Kulmuir authorities. I know of several more Beatons in Kilmore (some 10 or more families); Bornaskitag, Hunglatter, Graulin, Penore, Steinscholl and Uig and Treaslane in Snizort Of my 3rd great grandmother, she died and is buried in Allegan County, Michigan in the town of Martin.
