[8] "Gregor MacNeill MacInwalliche in Ardewinch, (Ardewnaig).", - #98-1586 list; #73-1590; #5-1592; not listed in 1601

[9] "Ewin Maceanvalliche thair. - (brother of Gregor MacNeill MacInwalliche in Ardewinch, (Ardewnaig).)", - #99-1586; #74-1590; not listed in 1592 or 1601

[10] "John Roy Maceanvallich there,. - (uncle of Gregor MacNeill MacInwalliche in Ardewinch, (Ardewnaig).)", - #75-1590; not listed in 1592 or 1601
In the 1589 list John Roy is mentioned #75 and he is listed as being in the family of Gregor McNeill VcInvallich and living in Ardenaig on the south eastern side of Loch Tay.

[14] 1604. March 1 Five persons executed. - 4. Duncan MacGregor.

[15] #32-1613b Donald Ungoche? (McNeill VcEanvalloche) in Ardewnag at Glenfrune
#85-1613d Donald Mogoche McAinvalloche McGregor his father brother
John Roy and Donald appear to be the sons of Ewin as the names are spelt the same and are different from Duncan.

[16] #33-1613b 33 Johne McGregour (VcNeill) in Glenl(a)ydenag (i.e. Glenlednaig) at Glenfrune
and #34-1613b (Patrik) McGregour his brother
John Roy appears to have come of age between 1586 and 1589 suggesting he may have been born ~1568.

[17] 1603 - July 14 - John dubh McEan mhallich McGregor in Comrie - Justiciary sentenced to hang


The 1601 list gives Gregor McNeil as a member of the Roro family and interestingly he is listed first on the list suggesting the importance of the family.
The 1611 list gives Donald as being at Glenfruin.
It is likely that John Dow was a signicant participant at Glenfruin and that may have selected him out for special execution at Edinburgh Castle in 1604.

[21] Neil has identified " Neil McConneil VcNeil in upper glenalmond in 1649.
The MacGregors listed in " 1649. August 28th, at Perth. In Glenalmond.
14. John McGregor VcAlaster gait,
15. James McGregor there,
16. Neill McConneil VcNeale there,
20. David Malloch in Corrymucklack
106. Neale McConnell VcNeale VcGregor in Glenalmond
16 and 106. Neil McConneil VcNeale VcGregor who can only be from the Ardeonaig/Roro line. The 1602 list #48 is a Donald McNeil who has to be the father of this individual. A Donald McGregor is listed as living at Dallick in 1646 but seems to have died before 1649 as he is not listed.

[22] This is speculative for a link to Gregor born in 1752:
Gregor baptised in Monzievaird on 26/7/1752 to Alexander McGregor and Margaret McGregor - there is no trace of a marriage or other children.
He is in fact, the only recorded Gregor McGregor in the county of Perth in 1752. That doesn't mean there weren't others or that he might have been recorded under an alias. In the adjoining parish of Fowlis Wester there was an Alexander baptised by father John McGregor on 19/3/1721
and Gregor McGregor baptised Hugh on 20/7/1689 and John on 20/1/1694 also in Fowlis Wester
This may not be correct but at least it does not involve significant movement.
The most important clue might be that the house of Gregor (born 1752) in Canada was called Coinachan.
Neil pointed out that there are several possible Coinachan placenames - one in upper Glen Almond and the other nearer Monzievaird.
Neil also pointed out that the Glen Almond area had several McGregor lineages: Alasdair galt's line; the Glenlednocks; and possibly Roro/Ardeonaig



John Malloch McHustone appears to have had two sons
1. Gregor.
2. Neil, Father of Gregor McNeil VcIainvallich in Ardewnaig mentioned Feb. 4.1589-90 after the death of Drummondearnoch. This Gregor McNeill in Ardewnych is also mentioned 2d of the "Gang of the House of Roro" in a list of principal men. Therefore it is possible that his father was the eldest son. Donald M'Gregor VcNeil, evidently son of Gregor VcNeil, is mentioned in 1628 but the line does not appear again.
In the roll of 1589-90 there is mention of Hugh, Ewin, Maceanvallich in Ardewnaig and of John Roy Maceanvallich also in Ardewnaig. Of whom these two were sons, there is no indication.

Duncan McInvallich in Comrie is mentioned in the roll of 1589-90 [14] as also Donald Maceanvallich, specified as his brother. Duncan is also among the principal men of the Clan proposed by Glenstray as pledges in the Bond to the Earl of Argyle April 22. 1601. He is mentioned again as Duncane McGregour alias McInvalliche and now Drummond in August 1603, when the gift of his escheat was given to a follower of the Earl of Montrose, Duncan having been put to the horn for a debt. His being styled Duncan McGregor has led to the supposition that his father was named Gregor but in this instance his Clan name may have been given him. Duncan appears to have taken the name of Drummond, as the first of the Clan to adopt a new surname in accordance with the Order in Council 1603. This Duncan was certainly direct ancestor of the House of Balhaldies.
