 Joe, 
You mentioned that Sinclair was one of the 
surnames that some of the MacGregors assumed, and that this has been 
documented.  Can you retrace and find the source?  You've got me very 
intrigued, and now I'm going to have to pursue this!  The problem thus far 
that I can see is that there are few Sinclairs found in extant Argyll records 
(as far as I'm aware, although I certainly haven't looked at every possible 
source) until the two mentioned in the 1692 list of "fencible 
men."  This is 90 years after the proscription act.  Wouldn't we 
see many more Sinclair/MacGregors after three generations of time? 
Anyone else out there who can add some 
tidbits? 
Thanks, 
Karen  |
