Notes on Table 3
Note 1	Peter Farquharson	'Records of Invercauld' at page 113 states that when Tullochcoy was sold by Peter Farquharson in 1772 the proceeds were made over first to his father-in-law John Forbes of Bellabeg and thence to George Forbes
Note 2	Jean Farquharson	Jean Farquharson's family included a son James Couts born about 1765 who was still in Balnalan in 1841. He married a Mary McHardy and their family included John Coutts b 1805 who emigrated to Canada, Peter Coutts b 1814 (shepherd at Tullochcoy in 1851) and James Coutts b 1819 (tenant of 30 acres in Balnalan in 1851). John Coutts' daughter Mary was brought up in Lambton County, Ontario and her great grandson William Scott in Kansas, USA has provided this information.

Notes on Table 4
Note 1	James Farquharson	James Farquharson of Belnaboddach died Ballater 1843 aged 85, his wife Isabella McHardy died Belnaboddach 1827 aged 63 or 64, MI by sons Peter, John and Alexander (Upper Donside MIs)
Note 2	A son of James McPherson?	According to his obituary, William Macpherson who died in 1950 was the younger son of Major James Farquharson Macpherson, late of Corrachree, Tarland, Aberdeenshire. William was educated at the Royal High School, Edinburgh, and St. Andrews University. In 1895 he took the degree of M.A. with First Class Honours in Mental and Moral Philosophy and Second Class Honours in Classics. In 1897 he was appointed Headmaster of St. Andrews Scotch School, Buenos Aires, a post which he held till the end of 1903. Among his later appointments were Chief Inspector of Schools, Bradford; Lecturer at the London Day Training School; and Inspector of Schools to the London County Council. During his career he published a number of books, including A Book of Comparative Verse (1909), and The Psychology of Persuasion (1920). During the first World War he served as a volunteer in the Sportsman's Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, and received a wound which seriously affected his health for the rest of his life. (Extracts from obituary: Macpherson Clan publication CREAG DHUBH 1950 via Alan McPherson) Alan McPherson has noted a Capt James Macpherson aged 45 born in Kirkmichael, Banff in the 1881 census, lodging at 11 Picardy Place, Edinburgh with a widow Jane Gray aged 35, and her children born in Edinburgh James Gray aged 10, William Gray aged 7 and Annie Gray aged 5.

Note 4	George Farquharson	So who was George Farquharson, son of Francis Farquharson in Tomintoul, who attended Marischal College in 1855-59 ?

Table 1	Children	and Grandchildren of
John Farquharson of Allargue (eldest son of Robert Farquharson of Allargue and Elspet Anderson of Candacraig) and his first wife, daughter of Farquharson of Bellamore [this and much of the following information from 'Farquharson Genealogies' (FG)]
	Elspet Farquharson m 1675 John Farquharson of the Tullycairn family in Tarland
	Margaret Farquharson m 1681 Robert Michie in Castleton of Corgarf
	Janet Farquharson m 1682 James Stewart in Abernethy

	Andrew Farquharson c 1675 m 1706 Barbara Stewart of Acholie died before 1742 (FG Note 34)
		John Farquharson c 1712 m Anna Farquharson of Achriachan (FG). Duff House MS 3175 Bundle LXV K27 for 1738 shows a John Farqson as tenant Newtown in Invernettie. Is this him living next to his brother below? He was a Captain under Farquharson of Monaltrie at Culloden (Muster Roll of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Army), and taken prisoner but escaped to France (FG). His writings feature in vol 3 of the 'The Lyon in Mourning' published by the Scottish History Society and in John Prebble's 'Culloden'. See Note 1 below.
		William Farquharson (cont'd below) born about 1713 m 1735 Jochebed Allanach. William was omitted from the Broudearg manuscript of 1737. FG suggests this may have occurred because he was the only Protestant member of his family. Duff House MS 3175 Bundle LXV K27 for 1738 shows a William Farqson as tenant in half of Torrancroy in Invernettie. Is this him?
		Charles Farquharson, Officer under Farquharson of Monaltrie at Culloden, afterwards pardoned (Muster Roll of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Army), Factor of Invercauld, d Jan 1795 aged 76 (Aberdeen Obits)

John Farquharson of Allargue (eldest son of Robert Farquharson of Allargue and Elspet Anderson of Candacraig) and his second wife (married 6 Aug 1680), Elspet Forbes daughter of Alex Forbes of Culquharry [see Note 2 below]
	Gustavus Farquharson c 1683 died about 1755. He had at least four illegitimate sons. See Note 3 below. Why was he called Gustavus? Alexander, Master of Forbes in 1639, had been Lieut General in the Army of Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and perhaps Elspet Forbes' father served with him? 'The Scots in Germany' (CUL) records that in 1631 five Scottish battalions were levied under Lieut Gen Robert Stewart, Sir Arthur Forbes, Sir Frederick Hamilton, Col Munro and Col Robert Leslie.
		John Farquharson b 1712 with Elspet Dunbar (FG Note 42)
		Ahimaaz Farquharson with Effy Sha (FG Note 42)
		? Lewis (FG Note 42)
		? James Farquharson (FG Note 42)
		? Gustavus McPherson
	Roderick Farquharson c 1685 married in 1707 Diana Forbes and with her had three daughters (FG Note 37). See Note 4 below.
		Elizabeth Farquharson c 1709 in Brux
		Helen Farquharson c about 1714 in Tolduchull
		The Brouchdearg manuscript states that Roderick and Diana had three daughters, but the baptism of their third daughter does not appear in the OPR, which is blank after 1715. If this daughter was born about 1720 and was Margaret Farquharson who married James McHardy in 1753, this would explain the naming of Diana McHardy
		After Diana Forbes' death, Roderick married the daughter of James Forbes in Millhead and by 1733 they had two sons and three daughters (FG): second son would be David (Glenbucket OPR 1732)
		Andrew son of Rodrick Farqrson Glenbucket OPR 1734
	George Farquharson died after 1707
	John Farquharson c 1688 died after 1707
	Jean Farquharson c 1689
	Robert Farquharson c 1694 m Isobel Anderson, purchased Allargue from Andrew's widow in 1744 (FQ Note 34)
		Robert Farquharson b 1720 m 1745 Jean Grant of Rothmaise in Cabrach. His heir Robert b 1748 m 1781 Elizabeth Innes d 1826 (Aberdeen Obits) was Minister of Logie Coldstone and this Robert's son Robert b 1783, manufacturer in Paisley, succeeded to Allargue (FG Note 44). The youngest daughter Jean b 1761 of Robert Farquharson and Jean Grant (FG Note 44) was notable for securing £2,000 (reduced on appeal to £750) damages for seduction against Alexander Anderson of Candacraig in a case which lasted from 1794 until 1804 (History Today, April 2000, page 24). So was she Miss Farquharson of Allargue who died in Dec 1851 in her 91st year (Aberdeen Obituaries)

Notes on Table 1
Note 1 John Farquharson (Jacobite)	Vol 3 of 'The Lyon in Mourning 1746-75' (Scottish History Society First Series vol 22) includes a lurid account of the cruelties experienced by the prisoners taken at Culloden over the pseudonym Brutus Scotorum, which is reliably attributed to this John Farquharson of Aldlerg. This account is drawn upon by John Prebble in his well known book 'Culloden'. 'The Lyon in Mourning' also includes gossipy correspondence over the period 1767 to 1775 between Robert Forbes, Bishop of Ross and Caithness, and John Farquharson, then in Dunkergue, with news of 'your old friend and mine Charles Jamieson'.
Note 2 Alexr Forbes of Culquharrie	Alexander Forbes of Culquharrie was descended from Malcolm Forbes, natural son of Sir John Forbes with the black lip (Cess Roll 1667). Alexander by disposition in 1683 bound his heirs to [make wadset payments] to Margaret, Ann and Helen Forbes his sixth, seventh and eighth daughters (AU MS 3402/20): this refers also (in 1737) to Kenneth Catenach in Kirktown of Strathdon eldest son of John Cattenach in Toldochul deceased and Isobel Forbes deceased daughter of Alexander Forbes above.
Note 3 Gustavus Farquharson	Gustavus appears in 1722 in the Heritors' Records of Strathdon (NAS HR 733/6) responsible with Robert Farquharson, probably as wadsetters, for a share of the Minister's stipend in respect of Easterton (later known as Cottown or Cotterton) and Blewfold in Culquhary - south of the Don downsteam of the kirk. He is shown in 1751 in the Rental of the Lands of New, Culquhary and Tollaskinch (Aberdeen University Historic Collections MS 2769/I/17/Box 2) as tenant of Coat-town (later Cottown) in Culquhary. [Charles Christie, in 'Stray Memories of Strathdon', stated that Culquhary was recognisable only by 12 plane trees in Nether Haugh.] Also in MS 2769/I/17/Box 2, he appears as joint valuer of the Bigging of the Lands of New etc 'Appreciate by Gustavus Farquharson, John Michie in Coul & John Michie in Little Tollahespic upon 23rd of May 1751'
Note 4 Roderick Farquharson	Roderick appears in 1722 in the Heritors' Records of Strathdon (NAS HR 733/6) responsible with Robert Farquharson, probably as wadsetters, for a share of the Minister's stipend in respect of Brux (ie Brughs - south of the Don just upstream of the kirk). He is shown in 1751 in the Rental of the Lands of New, Culquhary and Tollaskinch (as above) as tenant of Brux. He does not appear in 1755.


Table 2	Children	and Grandchildren of
William Farquharson (above), born in 1713 or 1714, married July 1735 Jochebed Allanach, daughter of Alex Allanach and according to Farquharson Genealogies his sons were as follows. In 1768 Alexander McHardy in Tolduquhill in his will settled an account of 3s-9d sterling due to William Farqson in Achearnach [Auchernach]. Presumably this was due to this William or his son below.
	Alexander Farquharson c 27 Mar 1737 (m Janet, daughter of Jerome Ritchie in Balnaglack, Glenbucket), died 1815 (all according to FG). See also Note 1 below.
		John Farquharson c 1 Aug 1771, unsuccessful claimant in the Breda Succession case in 1859, died 12 April 1862 leaving a son and a grandson
		Alexander Farquharson c1778 (Glenbucket OPR) - who appears to match with: Farquharson Alexander 07/11/1838 late in Belnaglack in the parish of Glenbucket, sometime in Jobshill in the island of Jamaica, Aberdeen Sheriff Court Inventories SC1/36/15 This was found by Suzanne who on http://www.victorianweb.org/history/letters/jamaica.html also found a letter about emigrant Scots in the West Indies from Mr Paterson, Jamaica, 9th Decr. 1837 to James Murray Esqr, Advocate Aberdeen. This refers to 'Job's Hill' as an estate at St. Mary's in Jamaica that belonged to a Walter Hyslop who died in 1824. Job's Hill then appears to have been owned by John Farquharson who had 672 slaves (or 672 acres or both).
		James Farquharson c 24 April 1787 in Glenbucket m Isabella Forbes 2ggp of Doug Hay, living in Calgary

Notes on Table 2
Note 1	Alexander Farquharson in Belnaglack, Glenbucket	In Duff House Papers ( Aberdeen University MS 3175/ 1472/1) James Stuart reports to the Earl of Fife in 1788 that 'Belnaglack being eight oxgates land and possessed by Germ Ritchie and his two sons in law Alexr Farquharson & William Brodie, William Brodie possesses three oxgates and Germ Ritchie the fourth. William Brodie was [designed] at the setting of the tack in [Whit] 1782 to get Germ's oxgate at his death and then they would both possess alike. I believe their abilities are much the same, they are both due rent 1787, if any difference Alexander Farquharson is the most substantial.' In the margin the Earl responds that what was designed should be implemented - once rents for 1787 have been paid.
Note 2	William Farquharson	The death certificate of Robert Farquharson in Tolduquhill who died in 1859 and was buried near to Strathdon kirk showed his parents to be William Farquharson and Cicilia Farquharson ms Forbes. Presumably this William is his father? Also Cecil[ia] Farquharson, female of 80, appears in the 1841 census in the family of Charles Farquharson above. Where did the name Cecilia come from? Note that the daughters of John Gordon of Glenbucket included Clementina, Henrietta and Cecilia. [Selection of Scottish Forfeited Estates Papers page 178 Scottish History Society 1909]
Note 3	Charles Farquharson	This looks like Charles Farquharson married to Margaret Forbes who was at Tolduquhill when their fifth child Robert was baptised on 28 July 1831. Fourth child Peter m Mary Cameron died in Aberdeen in 1869 aged 38 (death certificate found by Deb O'Reilly). In the 1841 census Charles Farquharson agricultural labourer aged 45 plus and wife Margaret aged 45 plus were at East Aldhie with sons Robert 8 Alexander 6 John 4 and female Cecilia? aged 80 . In 1851 Charles Farquharson agricultural labourer aged 60 was at Corrybreck with wife Margaret aged 59 and children Mary 24 and John 13. He died widower aged 82 at Nether Tolduquhill on 8 Aug 1873, father William Farquharson deceased, mother Cecil [sic] Forbes deceased, death reported by Robert Farquharson Edinglassie.
Note 4	Charles Farquharson in Toldaquhill	On 21 Nov 1825, Maj-Gen Nathaniel Forbes of Auchernach published a Summons of Declarator (NAS GD1/404/2/24) against Major Alexander Forbes of Inverernan together with Charles Farquharson senior, Charles Farquharson junior, William Farquharson, John Farquharson, Charles Farquharson, Robert Farquharson, William Wattie, James Glennie and William Glennie, tenants in Upper and Nether Tolduquhill and the Mill of Tolduquhill, and their cottars and servants.

Notes on Table 5
Note 1	James Farquharson appears in Drumanettie in the 1825 membership list of the Lonach Society, and in Lost in a list of reek hens in 1833, but not again. From the naming pattern of his family, he looks like a brother of Robert Farquharson, son of William Farquharson and Cecilia Forbes and grandson of William Farquharson (Table 3 above).
Note 2	In 1847 Isobel Davidson appears in a Poors List at Ledmacaie. In the 1851 census inhabitants of Ledmacay include 'Elizabeth' (a name sometimes regarded as equivalent to Isabel) Farquharson widow aged 67 born in Coldstone and her daughter Mary aged 43 born in Strathdon (and four grandchildren with assorted surnames). Parents of Isobel Davidson appear to be Peter Davidson and Christian Forbes m Logie Coldstone 1775.
Note 3	Charles and Robert were living in adjacent houses in Alford in 1841, married to sisters surnamed Berry, and they reputedly emigrated to Ohio, USA in the 1850s (information from Frank Farquharson).
Note 4	Picture on the right shows Christina Farquharson (seated left) at Ledmacoy about 1908 with her daughters Isa Riddell (centre) and Nelly George (right). Isa Riddell's son Alexander McHardy (right, with moustache which earned him the nickname of 'Baden' after Baden-Powell) developed the photograph (now possessed by his grand-daughter Sylvia Alexander and copied with her permission). Sylvia Anderson's father James Buchan McHardy is front left. The other children are Nellie George's son John Nicoll and daughter Christina Milne who married (1) Charles Stewart and (2) John Elrick (info from Sylvia Alexander)
