James married Alexander Paterson in 1786. Alexander was born about 1739; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Hugh entered the army and became a captain in the 78th Regiment, Seaforth Highlanders. He served under the Duke of York and, at the age of 24 years, he lost both his eyes carrying off a wounded soldier at the battle of Nimeguen in Holland. A musket ball entered the outward edge of the left eye, and passing under the bridge of the nose, through the right, and carried away both eyes without leaving the slighest mark or disfiguration except the blank left by the missing eyes.

He recovered from the effects of his wound, and although totally blind, he was able to write with wonderful accuracy. He played various musical instruments and was an excellent agriculturist who made great improvements to his estate. He wrote a full account of these improvements in a publication called "Survey of Ross and Cromarty" by Sir George Stewart Mackenzie of Coul.

Before leaving home to join the Duke of York, Hugh was engaged to be married to Jane Munro, with the approval of her father, General Sir Hector Munro of Novar. When he returned minus his sight, Sir Hector withdrew his consent.

Filled with compassion at the treatment of his blind older brother, Murdoch Munro-Mackenzie proposed to arrange an elopement, but Jane was to afraid of her father to go through with it and eventually married General Sir Ronald Crawford Ferguson of Raith. But Jane never lost her love for Hugh and while still fairly young, finding herself in failing health, she expressed a desire to see the captain once more. She attended divine service in the Parish Church of Alness, where Hugh worshipped. As the blind Captain was being led to his place, it is said that the lady fainted and had to be caried from the Church. She died not long after that.

Hugh felt that she had treated him badly in sacrificing her own happiness and his to her idea of filial duty. At one point, when Sir Walter Scott's romance, "The Bride of Lammermoor," was read to him, he was greatly moved, rising and pacing up and down the room in great agitation, recognising a resemblance between the conduct of Lucy Ashton and that of his own lady-love, Jane Munro.

The Captain lived for may years at Teaninich, and was a familiar figure in Ross-shire society. He was very fond of riding, and rode his horse fearlessly, his groom always preceding instead of following him in his rides.

He pulled down part of the old family mansion-house and rebuilt it, interesting himself greatly in the progress of its erection, walking among the planks and stones, often to the alarm of the workmen, but apparently to his own perfect satisfaction and amusement.

To conceal the disfigurement of his eyes, he always wore large green glasses. He is said to have been an extremely handsome man, good-tempered, and courteous.

In 1831, he sold the estate to his youngest brother, John, and passed the remainder of his life at Coul Cottage, near Alness, where he died, unmarried, on 11 May 1846.

Notes:

Murdoch inherited the lands of Ardross from his mother and assumed the name Mackenzie, but he sold Ardross and bought Dundonnell.

Murdoch's older brother, Hugh, was wounded at the battle of Nimeguen, in Holland, and lost his sight. Because of this, General Sir Hector Munro of Novar called off the previously scheduled marriage of his daughter, Jane, to Hugh. Murdoch was so filled with compassion for his brother that he attempted to arrange an elopement, but Jane was too afraid of her father to go through with it.

Notes:

John was born in 1778 and received his early education at Fortrose Academy. He joined the army when he was quite young and was sent to Madras.

He took part in the battle of Seringapatam and was shortly afterwards appointed Adjutant of his regiment. In that office, he displayed a thorough acquaintance with military duties. He also very soon became an accomplished linguist, being able to speak and write fluently in French, German, Italian, Arabic, Persian, and several of the Indian dialects. He held various appointments on the Staff, and was private secretary and interpreter to successive Commanders-in Chief in India. He was personally acquanted and in constant correspondence with Colonel Arthur Wellesley, afterwards the famous Duke of Wellington, during the Mahratta war.

He assisted in quelling the Nellore Mutiny, and was soon afterwards appointed Quartermaster-General of the Madras army, at the early age of twenty-seven years. Travancore was then in a turbulent state because of an internal war and anarchy. Several of the British residents who had been sent there had been force to return, the last of them fleeing for his life. Lord Minto, at that time serving as Governor-General of India, urged John (then a Colonel) to try to restore order in that turbulent and misgoverned territory. He accepted the task.

Shortly after his arrival in Travancore, Colonel Munro discovered a plot, but with prompt action and decision, he quelled the conspiracy. He became "uncontrolled ruler" of the province, meaning that all British and Native authority was vested in him. In five years, the scene of rapine and bloodshed was converted into a country as safe and tranquil as Great Britain. Order was established, law was enforced, and the desolate untilled lands were cultivated and turned again into fertile fields.

He first introduced the practice of having a native Christian sitting on the bench as a judge along with the Brahim, a departure from tradition which was doubted and censured at the time, but very soon it was found to work admirably. The Moslems and high caste Hindus regarded the integrity and fairness of the Christian judges highly.

When he left the region, the Rajah and people offered him a gift of fifty thousand pounds, which he refused.

John returned home in 1820 and stayed for three years. He then went back to India, but suffered a severe attack of fever. Soon after his illness, he retired from the army with the rank of Major General and returned to Scotland. He purchased the Teaninich estate from his brother, Hugh, and lived there for the remainder of his life.

He took an active and intelligent interest in the public affairs of his nativy country.
