McCoulchaire [5] Gregor mentioned in Record of Great Seal April 2d, 1614, when "John Murray formerly called Gregor McGregor McCallum VcCulchere in Bray of Balquhidder" obtained the Royal pardon for the Burning and slaughter of Aberuchill:
[6]
Dougall McCallum vcDougallkeir also styled Dougal McGregor in Kyleter who with "Donald McGregor now on Brae of Balquhidder" was cited to attend the Commissioners of Council at Inverlochy Oct. 1678. "to give Band in terms of Law."
[7]
#4-1613c - Johne Dow McGregour his brother Argyill cau(tioner) [8] #26-1613d - Rot. McGilchallum Oig VcCoulchier his brother (to Patrick) "third rank" - not otherwise recorded [9] From Amelia - Vol ii appendix Q.-Page l74 Copy from an original paper written by "Duncan Macpharie" the narrator of the Clan Gregor's campaign in 1745-6. Memorandum for the head of the Family of Dugal Keir. "Donald Murray of Craigruie and Inverlochlaraigbeg was acknowledged by the whole Clan Maculekeir that this Donald was the head of yr family. He Died and his son succeeded, his name was Callum oge, Callum was Captain in Perth's Battalion in prestonpans and he was mortally wounded and Died his wife being a widow having Two sons James and Ludovick & Daughter. James died in Craignech near Drummond Castle, bred a Doctor, Ludovick was bred a Miln Wright and Died in Jamaica.-Now this branch is clean out. This Donald had a younger brother that Listed in the Gray horse, they cald him John Murray, he lived some time ago upon his pension in the South country in a vilage called Yedbrouch if he or his be in life they are the head of Clan Dugal Kear, I shall defy any man living to Dispute this for its truth." [10] This Family (Gregor dhu MacDhugail) resided from time immemorial in coileitir the very Head of Glenfalloch, a mile south from Crianlarich and two miles west from Innerardoran, till about the beginning of the year 1700. Gregor dubh married a sister of Donald Glas in Glengyle and had a son Malcolm [11] Malcolm MacGregor otherwise Murray of Marchfield received from John, Duke of Atholl, Feb. 7,1707, a feu charter of the four mark land of Manahilbeg, the three and thirty shilling land of Wester Innernentie and the half of Wester Drummilich all in the parish of Balquhidder and which were afterwards named generally Marchfield or Ledcriech."
[12]
From Amelia, vol ii, page 337: Coll became the tacksman of thc Kirkton of Balquhidder. he died in 1735 few months after his Father. Coll married in Dec. 1721 Margaret eldest daughter of John Campbell, or MacGregor in Kerletter in Glenfalloch i.e. coileitir.
[13]
The "Gray Horse" referred to here are probably better known as the Scots Grays.
[14]
Malcolm MacGregor or Murray of Marchfield or Ledcriech, a branch of Glengyle, left three sons. [15] The existence of this John or James is not documented. Interpretation of DNA evidence suggests a possible link of the Murray family in Ayr to the Inverlochlarig MacGregors who used Murray as an alias. I made the connection to Eoin dow lean because he was known to be alive in 1649 and therefore almost certainly had a family. John/James could be his son or grandson.

[17]
The following has been copied entirely from Bob Lundin document which quotes Sheila McGregor's Quaich
[18]
Gregor Boyac (Gaelic: boidheach, beautiful) 3rd son b 1715/6, alias Murray, Drummond. In 42nd Regt and West Kent Militia, Capt. 1777, m an English lady, m(2) who produced no issue but got all his estate. Gregor's patronymics were: Gregor McCallum VcGregor VcDougal VcCallum.
[19]
From Amelia i, page 446
[120]
Elizabeth McDonald suggested that Malcolm married twice
[21]
John Ward says John was born to Malcolm in 1708, but I think he is more likely Malcolm's last son, also John, baptised in 1728.
[22]
I have inserted a generation here to make Malcolm the grandson rather than the son of Griogar dubh. There is no record for this that I am aware of for this. Perhaps he was also named Malcolm and thus confused with a son. If the insertion is incorrect then Malcolm's birth estimated around 1665 suggests that he was 74 when his last child, Duncan in 1739 was baptised. Not impossible. However, having a birth for Malcolm around 1685 would make him 27 when he obtained the tack of Ledcreich and Invernentie from the Duke of Atholl in 1707 and 28 when he married Isobel Aikman in 1708. Malcolm's father (Also Malcolm??) would be assumed to be older than his brother Gregor, (alias John Campbell, alias John Murray after 1719) as Inverarnan continued with the eldest son of of Gregor dubh to Gregor the cacique who sold it in 1822.

Rich Shaw - rich.reidshaw@gmail.com - informs me that his 4th great grandfather was Duncan McGregor (1732-1790) of Inverarnan. According to my information, he was a son of Gregor MacGregor (Drummond).and brother of Daniel MacGregor (1753-1794). |
