Francis Farquharson of Montalrie
d. 22 Jun 1790
Cousin to Lady Anne Mackintosh. Captured at Culloden and sentenced to death, but reprieved on the eve of his execution after many petitions in his favour. Clergymen were especially prominent among his defenders, and several testified to his decency toward prisoners of the Jacobite army (SP 36/89/3/84, 36/90/2/23. 36/93/2/148, 36/104/1/14). He was not allowed to return to Scotland before 1766, and until then remained "a partial prisoner" in England (Prisoners, vol. 2, p. 185). His estates were forfeited, although he was allowed to return after 1784 (on payment of £1613) and was known as an improving landlord (Mackintosh, History of the Valley of the Dee, p. 140).
