      Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/13

      "... by Anne daughter to John Forbes of Inverbreakie he had Wm. the [? Carpenter] Euffem Janet and Catherine."

      "... son William 'the carpenter' is a difficult reading (Mackenzie calls him 'the eminent engineer' but the adjective at least is suspect)."

      William was a celebrated engineer.
