- According to Bulloch this David Cuthbert is the David Cuthbert of Ardersier whose daughter Beatrix married Alexander Cuthbert, Merchant in Inverness, (above) and were parents of The Hon. Capt. James Cuthbert, 1st of Berthier-en-Haut (below). However Bulloch is in error here. He has conflated two contemporary David Cuthberts. This David Cuthbert is mentioned on 17 MAY 1678 in an Instrument of Premonition (GD176/572) by Alexander McIntosh of Connadge for which the list of witnesses includes George Cuthbert of Castlehill and David Cuthbert his brother-german. David is mentioned again on 18 APR 1705 in a Charter of Resignation by William Duff (GD23/2/33) mentioning lands that belonged to "the deceased John Cuthbert of Castlehill then to David Cuthbert, his son". In neither of these documents is David referred to as "of/in Ardersier". Whereas the only document that refers to David Cuthbert "of Ardersier" is a letter dated 31 MAY 1679 (GD23/6/2) from Duncan Forbes in reference to the estate of "the deceased David Cuthbert, town clerk of Inverness, from Ardersear." If David Cuthbert was mentioned as "from Ardersier" and deceased in 1679 then it would be hard to explain why he was not so-designated only a year earlier when he was still alive. But most convincingly, it would be hard to explain how he could be cited in 1705 as being alive 26 years after he died. Thus David Cuthbert of Ardersier cannot be the same person as David Cuthbert, son of John Cuthbert, 9th of Castlehill.
