| Notes |
- John was an elder in the Alness Church.
He was one of the "considerable persons" of Ross and Sutherland who signed a letter to King George I in Dec 1714, imploring his Royal mercy for Simon Lord Lovat on his return from France at the instigation of Major James Fraser of Castleleathers.
He took an active part in the preliminary proceedings for filling up the vacancy caused in the parish by the death of Rev. Daniel Mackilliean on 22 Jun 1724. When a dispute arose between John and Captain George Munro of Culcairn on the one had and the rest of the church over who should be the next minister, John took the keys to the church and refused to open the door. The new minister, Rev. James Fraser, was ordained in the church yard while John and George attempted to disrupt the meeting by talking to each other during the ordination. Fraser remained minister and did a good job.
