Argyllshire / Re: McMillan's of Killean Parish

I do not know if this is the same family you are seeking. Page 35 Angus Martin Kintyre the Hidden Past refers to an assault at Taychroman. Donald MacMillan 54 in a joint tenancy with his brother Archibald was a witness.

It may be that your ancestor was born in a place which does not have records that far back.
Quite likely an exciseman would come from outside the community he worked in?

Have you tried looking on one of the nearby islands for possible births and maybe census information?

Argyllshire / Re: MacKinnon Skye and Campbeltown

That is interesting, and a great picture too.

Out of interest, our family names in Campbeltown include McLean, Jordan, Ballantyne/Bannatyne, McConachy, Stewart... many of them with Irish roots. At the moment, I do not know how or if Skye fits in, or how it all relates to MacKinnon. If at all.

That being said, it would still be interesting to know a little more about the MacKinnon's of Strath in Campbeltown.

That is very helpful.
It will save hours of fruitless research.
Thank you.

I think lack of sources is the problem.
I have a book by Angus Martin and MacKerral 'Kintyre in the seventeenth Century', but neither of them have the answer, although I think Angus hints that it is part of the oral tradition of Campbeltown.

A possible connection would be 8GGM Catharine MacInnish m William Ballantyne. If they can be verified.

MacInnes and MacKinnon would be the same name?
