Robert Campbell in Glengyle, known as Rob Roy, Dougal Graham in Cromer, Rob's brother-in-law, son of Ewne McGregor late in Wester Frenich, afterwards in Comer, and a brother of John McGregor of Brachern also John Graham of Callichra, were witnesses.

Col Fraser recommended him for the promotion before the regiment sailed for Halifax and Louisbourg in a letter, 23 April 1758, to Lord Loudoun citing Gregorson as "very strongly recommended by Colonel Campbell & to whose friends I am so much indebted that I should take his being provided for as a very great favor."

[6] Following an enquiry about Alexander MacGregor, born in 1700, from a possible descendent I looked on Scotland's People for "Alexander Graham" and found in Aberfoyle parish at 325/10/20 John Grame / Kathrein Grame (FR16) baptised on 15/4/1700.
This does appear to be a likely second son for John Graham of Corerklet and his wife Katharine Graham. There was a Gregor Graham baptised to Alexander Graham or McGregor and Janet McFarlane (FR148) on 22/10/1733 in Buchanan parish 474/10/204. Buchanan parish includes Corriearklet. No possibilities in the 1750s as suggested by our informant.
