Soirle, g'son of Somerled 1 of Sartle, was in NC by Christmas 1771 and became involved with the Royalists in the War for Independence / Rev. War.
His 1st wife was Flory, d/o of John Nicolson. chief of Scorribreck, nr. Portree, Skye. Their 4 children were b. on Skye, and 2 may have been the boy & girl who were reinterred at Flora Macdonald College, NC, in 1931, mistakenly thought to be THE Flora's children.
The eldest daughter returned with Soirle to Skye from the UEL resettlement in NS, then, as wife of the Rev. Dr MacAuley, returned there with the Selkirk settlers on the "Polly". In Clan Donald Vol 3 she was described as his "only child". I am looking for more definite info. on the fate of the other 3 & their mother.
I descend from Margaret, d/o Soirle and Flora Beaton, b.c.1800 d.bef.1851 at Duntulm, Kilmuir parish, Skye.
When Soirle died, age 106, in 1830 he was reported as having 3 sons under the age of 10 yrs, but so far, & after much searching, I have failed to find any record of them or their mother Catherine Stewart / Stuart who was about 27 when they married.
Can anyone help with their names &/or point me in their direction? They had moved from the tack of Sartle to Feaull, in Kilmuir parish, Skye before 1829.
I know that some day I might be lucky & thanks to fellow researchers & all the contributers on the internet, I have made great progress.
