John Farquharson of Allargue

Farquharson was captured at or after Culloden. He claimed John Gordon of Glenbucket forced him to join the Rising, but when his witnesses failed to appear he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to death (NA SP 36/89/2/9, 36/104/1/55). He later lived abroad, claiming that he managed to escape imprisonment, although a government document of May 25, 1747, suggests that he "agree[d] to depart Kingdom and not return" (SP 36/97/1/95).
