Hi Kait,

I am descended from Mary's brother George, born 1822 in Dingwall.  I have Mary having a child. Donald,  by Alexander Fraser, but no marriage.   There was another child, Jane, I'm not sure (can't remember and didn't note it) if it was the same father.  This information I got from Donald McLennan (aka Donnie Dingwall, an expert on the McLennans who sadly passed away in 2004).

  He was descended from Mary.

Send me a PM and I'll send you my e-mail.

Re' preponderance of MacLennans in mid Ross, they had been cleared from Strathconnon, about 500 people in all, between 1840 & 1848, by the Balfour's (of prime minister fame) factor, the notorious Mr Rose, a Dingwall lawyer. There are a few MacLennan websites which might have something.
