    David of Killichoan had son Robert (Invss Sasines); but see L/40n.

    Killichoan (later renamed Mountrich) was situated on the west confines of the Parish of Kiltearn.

    An entry in the Presbytery records of Dingwall dated 5 Sep 1682 states that David and his brother, Donald, profaned the Kirk of Killichrist by putting some oxen inside of it one night. The brothers appeared before the Presbytery and claimed that the cattle had simply wandered into the Kirk because it had no door. Witnesses were called who testified that the brothers had asked to used the Kirk for their cattle but were refused. Since it could not be proven that they had deliberately driven the cattle into the Kirk, the two were simply rebuked for having asked to use the Kirk for their cattle.

    Died:
    Error alert: Mackenzie (p. 400) gives the death date of Farquar's grandfather, also named Farquar, as "about 1670". I believe Mackenzie has confused the two Farquars and that the 1670 death date actually belongs to the grandson.

    Farquar married Catherine Ross. Catherine was born est 1583; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Catherine Ross was born est 1583; and died.

    The following is a transcription of RW Munro's genealogy notes:

    [Alexander Monro] «i»Younger son of Farquhar Monro (of Teanaird family).; witness to contract of 1666. (Mackenzie confuses father with earlier Farquhar, his grandfather.) this may really be Alexander, son of William of T. & elder bro. of Farquhar of T.

    [Not in Munro Tree (M/78)] - but see M/80; Mackenzie, 400 - 1666 contract from Teaninich papers prob. refers to next Farquhar (p. 400) - but perhaps the whole thing is a misreading of a document. «/i»
