Argyllshire / Re: Argyle: Surname Fisher about 1747
« on: Monday 03 March 25 22:42 GMT (UK)  »
My ancestor Archibald McNair was a tacksman for the Clan MacLachlan.  He died in 1706 in Kilmorie in Strathlachlan.

His wife was Margrat Fisher and in his will there was a 14 year old son called John McNair.

Regards,
Bob McNair

My name is McNair and we were with the MacLachlans and I have been told that we released after being taken prisoner.   A woman called Henrietta MacLachlan was a kinswoman who was following her husband who was a Campbell and officer in the Independent Companies.  She pleaded with him as the men were related to her and he let them go.   Where can I verify this?
Many thanks
Bob McNair
