• Notes

  1 - Will of Alexander Baillie: Son (Alexander) by Janet Chisholm, his cousin who had lived from her early years in his family and whom he would have married if she had lived a little longer. 2 - A descendant of Alexander the natural son's younger daughter thinks that the relationship between Alexander senior and Janet Chisholm began in the lifetime of Dochfour's wife, whom he had married in Nevis. [E-mail from James Brennan forwarded by Glenda Dickson of CMAust. rec: 6 Dec 2016] 3 - I have a document, dated 4th Deer. 1747, written by Alexr. Baillie, eldest lawful son of Hugh Baillie of Dochfour, when an apprentice to his uncle, Evan Baillie of Abriachan, and long as that date is separated from the present year (1898) by 151 years, a niece of Alexander's, who was himself bom in 1734, still lives. The document above referred to is contract of marriage between Patriok Grant of Lochletter, with consent of his eldest brother, James Grant of Sheuglie, and Katharine Baillie, only lawful daughter of David Baillie, storemaster at Fort-Augustus, which David was, I think, brother of Alexander of Dunain. The contract is witnessed by a number of Baillies, including Lieut. Wm. Baillie, of the Earl of Drumlanrig's Regiment. For delivering an urgent message from Inverness to Dunain, a boy is paid, on 20th April, 1748, the munificent sum of two pence Scots, less than a farthing.
