MacFarlane of Ardess / Graham of Brachurn
« on: Saturday 15 September 18 08:09 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I am looking at an individual Agnes MacFarlane who married Alexander Graham of Brachern/Brachurn in 1726 at Row (I assume Rowardennan), Buchanan, Stirling, Scotland. Her father is noted 'in Rowardenan' and called Duncan.
Alexander and Agnes had:
- Duncan 1727
- Walter 1729
- Elizabeth 1731
- Alexander 1734
- John (of Clochvraick).
- Catherine circa 1740 noted in her marriage to John Graham in Duchray in 1771 at Drymen as the 'lawfull daughter to Alexander Graham of Brachern'.

Does anybody know of any MacFarlane families in this area who are not the Chiefly family of Arrochar. It is noted in the book History of Clan MacFarlane that Andrew Macfarlane the 18th Chief was titled before he inherited the title from his brother, of Ardess which is near to Rowardennan. Andrew had a son called Duncan who was a Captain, but it only notes Duncan had two sons.

Is there any evidence this Duncan had any daughters, possibly a daughter called Agnes or would it be another Duncan who resided in Rowardennan that is the father of Agnes who married Alexander of Brachurn?

Thank you in advance for any help.
