Argyllshire / Re: Rev Duncan McIntyre of Kilmallie
« on: Saturday 12 April 14 22:50 BST (UK) »
Hi Jackie
Thank you for getting back to me and for the information which confirms what I have found so far and yes it does help. I agree it is hard when you have no documents of proof. I have Somerled MacMillan’s, Bygone Lochaber which is a great reference book and have been using the Family Search Community Tree but not sure of its accuracy. John McIntyre 10th of Camusnaherie, it has one of his children as Flora and no Catherine, other records have Catherine and no Flora. If Flora is correct I am pretty sure she is mine as it is stated she was the cousin of Rev Duncan Cameron therefore her father would have had to have been the brother of John McIntyre 10th. It all gets very complicated and I have had to write it all on a very large piece of paper. Unwilling to add it to the family tree at this point.
Because I have no original documents I have been checking from all available sources to compare. Two more which you may find interesting is the Am Baile Digital Library. There are volumes of “Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness.” In Volume 18 I found an article on the Macintyres of Glennoe and it was written in 1893. Here is the link, not sure if it will work from here.

I also have the book No Quarter Given which is the muster roll of Prince Charles Army 1745-46. Which tells a little about the MacDonalds family of the Margaret who married John McIntyre 10th.
A few years ago I purchased the Tombstone Inscriptions on the Burial Isle of St Munda (Eilean Munde). It is not indexed so while I read it looking for my Cameron ancestors I indexed it. I am happy to look someone up if that would be useful to you. In it I found quite a few of the MacIntyres. Peter MacIntyre R.N., nephew of Rev Duncan laid a significant headstone with many names and dates. Bless him for that!
In Bygone Lochaber on page 107, he has missed out 3 names in the lineage back to Patrick. One source gave them as John William & Duncan 4, 5, & 6. But those names were also 7, 8, & 9. Intriguing, more digging I think.
Regards
Penny
