• Notes

  Family tradition recalls that John was born in Rusgachan where he later resided, so it is possible that the family may have held both properties at this time. John was called "Ian mhor na Coille" which simply means "Big John of Cuill". John resided in Ruscachan and married on AUG 1778 in Balquhidder and 6 AUG 1778 in Kincardine to Mary BUCHANAN. Mary was bap 26 SEP 1756 in Kincardine parish as the daughter of Robert Buchanan and Janet Mentieth. The marriage was then recorded again in 15 APR 1780 in Balquhidder showing "both in Ruskachan" in Balquhidder. It is strange that this marriage was re-registered two years after its original occurrence. The reason is unknown; perhaps the original marriage contract was unable to be fulfilled.) John was clerk of session at Balquhidder Kirk, so the double entry is his own doing. John was also schoolmaster in Strathyre and Callander. Family records indicate that John died "by the fire" at his home in Rusgachan.
