Have you tried the MacPhersons of the Hebrides web-site, if not can pass you on to an administrator for password, site is great everything MacPherson, sure someone will be able to help.

donnie i am member of this site, it is a good site but is more for benbecula and south uist macphersons, these are different macphersons to the skye macphersons, there are probably five differents septs of macpherson in scotland, the skye macpherson descend from the red parson in the 15th century, they are know as the " little clan from skye " and came to skye with hugh macdonald and ousted the macleods from sleat, there is also macphersons from argyll that are linked to the campbells, the south uist macphersons linked to mcmuirrich and the badenoch macphersons the most common macphersons, i have paternal bloodties with the skye macphersons and the badenoch macphersons

Wow!  Thanks for the history Breakish - that is very interesting stuff.   Smiley

I have quite a few MacPhersons in my tree, a lot of them collateral to my main line of McLure, including my 4x G. Grandmother - Christina MacPherson who married Farquhar McLure sometime around 1770.  Unfortunately, I know nothing more about her as pr's are not available for Sleat during this time period.

Thanks again for the very interesting thread!
