DONALD CARMICHAEL AND HIS DESCENDANTS (1924). Compiled by the Rev J T Carmichael, Quthing, Basutoland, South Africa. Although locally published (Cupar: J & G Innes)
The book deals principally with Carmichaels in Perthshire. About 1720 Donald Carmichael, from a farm, Lechdan Scritan, Balquidder, came to a relative named Comrie near Woodend, at Tynereoch, a mile or so east of St Fillans. Then he went to Crappich and married there Katrina Stalker. They had seven sons and one daughter.
There were three farms at the Crappich, and Donald put a son in each. There was Duncan in Easter Crappich, Peter and John. Of the other sons, or their descendants, "some were soldiers, some died young, some went south, one went to the Highlands."
The author then tracks the descendants of these three sons-Duncan, Peter, and John - through 7 generations, although there are only one-line entries for each, giving their names and that of their spouses. Some of these descendants came to Fife. In Dunfermline were John Carmichael (d 1898), who married Janet Gibson, and his brother, Peter Carmichael (d 1880), who married Lillias Wallace, both grocers and corn merchants, and John's son, Archibald (who emigrated to Australia in 1866 and died
Ballarat, 1870s), and daughter, Catherine [who married Alexander Fraser (d 1918)] and grandsons, Dan A Fraser (d 1937), and James How Shepherd (married to Mona Fraser), who traded in Dunfermline as wholesale and retail grocers in Maygate under the firm of Fraser and Carmichael (1866-1971). In Dunfermline Peter and John Carmichael were visited by their nephew, Andrew Kay, son of Andrew and Janet Kay of Blairinroar, who emigrated to New Zealand in 1859, settled Waikato in the southern part of the province, and by 1916 was the oldest settler there. In Kirkcaldy was Gregor Macgregor, Director of Education for Fife (1919-1941), married to Jeannie Maclay and son of John Macgregor in Stirling and Isabella Carmichael (who died Kirkcaldy in 1923 aged 89); his brother, William Macgregor, married to Elizabeth Condie, was in Kennoway. Also in Kirkcaldy was Christina Crichton, married to Robert Dall, and the daughter of Alexander Crichton in Alloa and Christina Carmichael; her sister, Kate Carmichael, married to David Smart, was in Leslie. In Markinch was Elizabeth Heddrick, married to William Adams, and the daughter of Archibald Heddrick and Margaret Robertson in Causewayhead; her daughter, Wilhelmina Adams (married to William Ormiston) was in Dunfermline. And lastly, in East Wemyss was Hugh Macgregor (married to Annabel Hume), the son of James Macgregor and Christina Carmichael.
