In 1767 he was was convicted of the murder of William Cairns, for which he was executed (Prisoners, vol. 2, pp. 38-39).7
BONDX1Mr Bond1
BOWDE1Elizabeth Stuart BowdlerWife to Thomas Bowdler. Although Bishop Gordon (pp. 2124-2125) denies Forbes's speculation that Elizabeth Bowdler was the author of The Song of Solomon Paraphrased (Edinburgh: Drummond; London: W. Hay, 1775), the New York Public Library catalogue attributes the work to her (ODNB).5
BOWDJ1Jane BowdlerSister to Anne Gordon and Thomas Bowdler. Aunt to the more famous Jane Bowdler, poet and essayist (daughter to Thomas Bowdler).2
BOWDJ2John BowdlerSon to Elizabeth Stuart Bowdler and Thomas Bowdler4
BOWDT1Thomas BowdlerAccording to the ODNB ("Bowdler, Thomas (1754-1825)"), "a gentleman of independent fortune." He was imprisoned in 1745 on suspicion of correspondence with participants, including Robert Lyon and the Duke of Perth. His father-in-law John Cotton and brother-in-law Robert Gordon of Aberdeen were also suspected, and Bowdler was called the "'chief manager' of [Jacobite] affairs in London." (NA SP 36/77/2/105, 36/78/1/11, 36/80/2/3, 36/91/2/5,). For another correspondence with Robert Forbes, see NRS CH12/12/1210. His name, via his Shakespeare-editing son Thomas (1754-1825), is the source of the verb "bowdlerize."38
BOWDT2Thomas BowdlerSon to Thomas Bowdler and Elizabeth Bowdler.18
BOYDW1William Boyd, Earl of KilmarnockColonel of the Regiment of Footguards.10
BOYDX1Mr BoydMutual acquaintance of Dr John Burton and Robert Forbes, not identified outside of the Lyon in Mourning.1
BOYLP1Patrick Boyle, Lord Shewalton1
BRADJ1James BradshawJames Bradshaw was born to "very substantial and reputable Parents" and had the benefit of a good education. His prospects only improved with the inheritance of his father's wealth, his marriage to the daughter of the well-to-do Mr Waggstaff of Manchester, and his success as a warehouseman in the rising linen trade. After the death of his wife and infant child, however, Bradshaw developed a reputation for drunkenness and volatility. In 1745 he threw in his lot with the Jacobites as a Captain in the Manchester Regiment and was active in recruiting, contributing his considerable funds to the upkeep of his company (Wedderburn, Genuine Account, pp. 9-10). While Bradshaw was allegedly a favourite with Charles Edward Stuart, he clashed with Colonel Francis Towneley (a relation through Bradshaw's mother: Oates, "Manchester Regiment," p. 135), even taunting the latter on the eve of Towneley's execution (Wedderburn, Genuine Account, p. 11). Due to personal conflict and perhaps also because he sensed the danger of staying at Carlisle (Old England, November 1, 1746), Bradshaw joined Elcho's Life Guards as a private soldier, leading to his capture at Culloden. At trial, Bradshaw presented an insanity defence, with reference not only to his late grief, but also to a history, from childhood, of depression, violence, and institutionalisation. The court found none of this sufficient to excuse his military commitment to the Jacobite cause (Wedderburn, Genuine Account, pp. 7-8). Prominent friends, family, and members of the trades community also weighed in on his behalf (NA SP 36/89/1/10; SP 36/89/3/13), one ally even attempting to arrange a jail break (NA TS 11/577/1880), all to no avail.3
BRANL1Luigi Riggio Saladino Branciforti-Colonna, Prince de Campo FloridoThe Spanish ambassador to France, 1741-46.3

BRETP1Sir Peircy BrettCaptain of the HMS Lion.1
BRETX1Mrs BrettWife to Nicholas Brett. The couple had at least two sons and one daughter.2
BRODD1David Brodie1
BROWN1BrownQuite possibly the John Brown (1706-1790) who was minister at Longside, so would have been a neighbour to Reverend John Skinner (Scott, Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, vol. 6, p. 227).1
BROWT1Lieutenant Thomas Brown1
BRUCC1Lady Catherine Bruce of ClackmannanWife to Henry Bruce, fifteenth of Clackmannan. Later known for her mock knighting of Robert Burns.0
BRUCD2David BruceJudge Advocate assigned by the Duke of Cumberland to gather evidence from Jacobite prisoners. He was assisted by a translator in questioning Gaelic-speaking prisoners (NA SP 36/90/1/40). See Prisoners vol. 1, pp. 8, 60, and 120.7
BRUCT1Thomas Bruce, second Earl of AilesburyThe second Earl of Ailesbury, who become involved in Jacobite plotting. He married his first wife, Elizabeth Seymour, in 1676, and his second wife, Charlotte Jacqueline D'Argenteau, Countess of Esneux, in 1700 after he settled in Brussels.3
BRUCW1Sir William Bruce of KinrossHusband to Lady Bruce.2
BRYDG1James Brydges, third Duke of Chandos1
BUCHA1Archibald Buchanan of DrumakillBetrayed William Murray, Marquess of Tullibardine.1
BUCHF1Francis Buchanan of ArnpriorFrancis Buchanan of Arnprior was the son of Robert Buchanan of Arnprior, advocate, and his second wife Margaret Muirhead (Smith, Strathendrick and Its Inhabitants, p. 301). He married Elizabeth Buchanan of Leny, with whom he had no children. The circumstances of Arnprior's involvement in the Rising and his subsequent conviction are more complicated than the narrative presented in the Lyon in Mourning. While Arnprior claimed no direct involvement, various accounts have him receiving funds and storing weapons for the Jacobite army (Mounsey in Waugh, Occupation of Carlisle, p. 257; McDonell, Jacobites of Perthshire, p. 4). Whether or not he bore arms himself, he did force his two younger brothers and several residents in the vicinity of Callander to join the Rising (Mounsey in Waugh, Occupation of Carlisle, p. 253; Layne, "Spines of the Thistle," p. 196). While the suspicious death of Alexander Stewart of Glenbuckie may have prejudiced the court, it was far from the only stain on Arnprior's character; he was also alleged to have "poisoned a gentleman of his own name whose estate he succeeded to," of "debauching first one then another sister of his wife," and having a generally "oppressive temper to those in his neighbourhood, and under his authority" (letter from John Goldie to John Waugh, quoted in Waugh, Occupation of Carlisle, pp. 265-66). It is true that Arnprior was targeted for punishment, by reason of his status and influence (letter from Andrew Fletcher to Philip Carteret Webb, NA SP 54/33/23b, cited in Layne, "Spines of the Thistle," p. 206). Brothers Thomas and Patrick, being young and not having acted of their own free will, were acquitted (Mounsey in Waugh, Occupation of Carlisle, pp. 253, 257). 6
BUCHX1Duncan BuchananAssistant to Aeneas MacDonald. According to Forbes in the Lyon in Mourning, he was an eighth member of the Men of Moidart but may have been "reckoned amongst the Prince's Domesticks" (p. 491). See McLynn, Charles Edward Stuart, pp. 122, 570.2

BURDR1Rowland BurdonFriend to Thomas Bowdler.5
BURDX1Mr Burden1
BURKE1Edward BurkA chairman in Edinburgh who joined the Rising as servant to Alexander MacLeod, Younger of Muiravonside, later acting as a guide to Charles Edward Stuart. According to The Book of The Old Edinburgh Club, Burk's fortunes improved somewhat after the Rising, as he was able to become a "chairmaster," meaning that he owned at least one sedan chair (it should be noted that this source also contradicts Burk's own narrative in the Lyon in Mourning: Jamieson, "Sedan Chair in Edinburgh," vol. 9, p. 202).12
BURKJ1Jacob BurkBrother to Edward (Ned) Burk and resident of North Uist.1
BURKO1Oliver BurkBrother to Edward (Ned) Burk. A married man who kept some sheep on North Uist.1

CAMEA2Dr Archibald CameronExecuted June 7 1753. Communicated with and concealed Charles Edward Stuart.16
CAMEA3Allan Cameron of CallartWounded and captured at Culloden. At trial, witnesses testified that Callart had strenuously resisted joining the Jacobite army, but he was forced by Lochiel. It was also pointed out that Callart had a wife and ten children (Allardyce, Historical Papers, vol. 2, pp. 394-96), and that he had shown mercy to a government officer. Notwithstanding, he was sentenced to death and his estate was forfeited. In 1748 he was allowed instead to accept banishment (Prisoners, vol. 2, pp. 72-73).4
CAMEA4Alexander Cameron of Dungallon1
CAMEA5Alexander CameronKilled by Alexander Grant of Grantsfield at Locharkaig.2
CAMEA6Alexander CameronSon to Donald Cameron of Clunes.1
CAMEA7Allan CameronFather to Anne Cameron and husband to Isobel Fraser. Son to Ewen Cameron, seventeenth of Lochiel, and brother to John Cameron, eighteenth of Lochiel. Participated in the Rising of 1715 and served the Stuart court in exile. See Mackenzie, History of the Camerons, p. 209.2

CAMEJ3John Cameron, eighteenth of LochielChief of Clan Cameron, known as "Old Lochiel."4
CAMEJ4John CameronBrother to Allan Cameron. Note that Livingstone, Aikman, and Hart take their information on John exclusively from the Lyon in Mourning (Muster Roll of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Army, p. 33). Curiously, Rosebery's List of Persons Concerned in the Rebellion mentions an Officer John Cameron who was wounded at Culloden, "since [...] Dead," but he is identified as Callart's uncle (pp. 282-83); while it's certainly possible that Allan Cameron of Callart had both an uncle and a brother named John who died after Culloden from wounds sustained in battle, it's also possible that either Reverend John Cameron or Rosebury was mistaken about the exact relation between John Cameron and Allan Cameron.1
CAMEJ5John Cameron of FassifernBrother to Donald Cameron, nineteenth of Lochiel.1
CAMEJ6John CameronUncle of John Cameron.2
CAMEJ7Jean Cameron of Glendessary2
CAMEJ8Janet CameronDaughter to Sir Ewen Cameron, seventeenth of Lochiel, and Isabel Maclean (of Duart).

CAMEM1Marjory CameronWife to Allan MacDonald, seventh of Morar, and daughter to Sir Ewen Cameron, seventeenth of Lochiel.2
CAMES1Samuel CameronBrother to Alexander Cameron of Glenevis. Prisoners of the '45 identifies Cameron as 2nd Lieutenant in Lord John Drummond's (Royal Scots), but the Muster Roll of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Army does not include him. For allegedly informing on Dr Archibald Cameron, he was held prisoner on the wish of the Camerons of Lochiel (NA SP 54/43/83 and 85).1
CAMEU1Una CameronSister to Jean Cameron and John Cameron, eighteenth of Lochiel.1
CAMEX1CameronFather to the Alexander Cameron killed by Captain Grant at Locharkeig.3

CAMPD1Donald CampbellTacksman of Scalpay at the time of the '45. Brother-in-law to Hugh MacDonald of Baleshare (p. 926). See Blaikie (Itinerary, pp. 48-49) for local traditions of Campbell's protection of Charles Edward Stuart. On his later emigration to North Carolina, see David Dobson, Directory of Scots in the Carolinas, 1680-1830, vol. 1 (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1986), p. 29.5
CAMPD2David Campbell of Belmont3
CAMPD3Sir Duncan Campbell of Lochnell1
CAMPD4Duncan CampbellPossibly son to John Campbell of Cawdor (Scottish: Calder), MP. The family managed to avoid forfeiture for their support of the Jacobites in 1715, and afterward acted in line with the Whigs--although, if Duncan is any indication, a strain of sentimental Jacobitism remained within the family.1
CAMPD5Daniel Campbell of Shawfield1

Interpreter between Gaelic-speaking Jacobite prisoners and the Lord Justice Clerk.1
CAMPS1Colin Campbell, seventh of SkipnessCommander of the government garrison at Kilchurn Castle. Half-nephew and son-in-law to Daniel Campbell of Shawfield (see Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History, 15th ed., pp. 339-40).4
CAMPX1Mr CampbellLikely Archibald Campbell (1708-1795), who was Royal Bounty missionary to Cairnie from 1738 to 1747. See Hew Scott, Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, vol. 6 (1926), p. 315.1
CAMPX2CampbellIdentified only as an officer in the Independent Highland Companies (but possibly meaning the Campbell of Argyll Militia).1
CAMPX3Alexander CampbellFactor to Kenneth Mackenzie, Lord Fortrose in Kintail. Colin Chisholm states that he was "the officer in command of the camp at Browlin." John MacDonald, in his account printed in Paton's edition of the Lyon in Mourning, says that this is the Campbell "generaly [sic] styled the black Campbell" (vol. 3, p. 381; also Chisolm, "Traditions of Strathglass, p. 265). See Black, "The Black Campbell," on the certain identification of Lieutenant (not Captain, as identified in the Lyon in Mourning) Campbell, and on how Lieutenant Campbell became confused with the "Black Campbell" of Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair's poetry (whom Black identifies as Father Colin Campbell, killed at Culloden: Ark of the Campbells, pp. 141-181).3
CAMPX4John CampbellExecuted for mutiny. Accounts differ as to whether he belonged to the Argyllshire Militia (Campbell, younger of Mamore's Company), or to Loudoun's (64th) Highlanders. See Black, Campbells of the Ark, vol. 1, pp. 166-69.1
CARMA1Anne Carmichael, Lady Stewart of BurrayEldest daughter of the David Carmichael of Balmedie. She married James Stewart of Burray on February 11, 1721 (Scotland's People). Held on suspicion of high treason (NA SP 36/90/2/7), specifically for offering money and threatening violence to compel tenants and servants to join the Jacobite army (SP 36/90/1/68). She was arrested alongside her husband, who died in New Gaol, Southwark (SP 36/104/1/80). She was likely later confined to be tried at Edinburgh (SP 36/106/1/31). She, her niece, and her servant appear as members of Forbes's congregations in Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Leith, 1733-1775.10
CARMD1Dr Thomas CarmichaelOne of the Managers of the Episcopal Church in Perth (Farquhar, Episcopal History of Perth, pp. 137, 153, 155).1
CARMS1Stewart CarmichaelAccording to Reverend James Taylor (Copy of part of a Letter from the Reverend Mr. James Taylor, Thurso, March 8. 1750 with a circumstantial amount of his sufferings), Stewart Carmichael was brother-in-law to Sir James Stewart of Burray (probably brother to Anne Carmichael, Lady Stewart of Burray, but see linked discussion of genealogy). Forbes's registers show Carmichael's property at Bonnytoun or Bonnington Mills as one of the locations where Forbes performed his offices, and many mill employees were members of Forbes's congregation (see: Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Leith, 1733-1775). On January 4, 1756, Forbes baptised Carmichael's "posthumous daughter," Stewartina-Catharine. Forbes's wife Rachel Houston was one of her godparents (Registers, p. 37). 9

Forbes presided over Chessor's marriage in 1768 and baptised three of Chessor's children between 1743 and 1771. In the baptismal register, Forbes refers to Chessor as one of the 'Hearers' of Mr Blair and Mr. Hunter in Edinburgh (Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Leith, 1733-1775, pp. 60, 28, 43, 45).3
CHEYG1Reverend George CheyneChaplain to Thomas Bowdler and family. Incumbent at Stirling from 1763 to 1781. See Bertie, Scottish Episcopal Clergy, p. 24. He and possible family members appear several times in Forbes's Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Lieth, 1733-1775.11

CLERG1A ClergymanAuthor of a letter to Dr Thomas Deacon. Henry Broxap suggests the nonjuror John Creake as the author (Biography of Thomas Deacon, p. 121). Creake was a frequent visitor to the Jacobite prisoners, and was alleged to have had a hand in writing their scaffold speeches (Lathbury, History of the Nonjurors, p. 389).3
CLERH1Captain Hugh ClerkProbably the "wine-merchant in Edinburgh" mentioned in Forbes's Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Leith, 1733-1775 (p. 57), in later years referred to as Captain Hugh Clerk. Possibly a cousin to John Clerk of Penicuik (1676-1755), if he is the Captain Hugh Clerk referred to in GD18/5473 (the Captain's children share several family names with the Clerks of Penicuik). With Magdalen Drummond, had at least ten children: Anne (1720), Magdalen (1721), Robert (1722), Margaret (1723), Janet (1726), Mary (1727), Alice (1729), George (1731), John (1732), and Helen (1733).4

COPPT1Reverend Thomas CoppockExecuted at Carlisle, October 18 1746. Alleged to have been named bishop of Carlisle by Charles Edward Stuart. He repeatedly sought support for clemecy from the Archbishop of Canterbury (NA SP 36/83/2/32, 26/87/2/5, 36/87/3/115), and also attempted to escape prison (NA SP 36/87/3/74; a detailed account of this attempt is given in An Authentic History of the Life and Character of Thomas Cappoch, pp. 11-12). In a bid for mercy, he claimed that "he never wore the cockade, plaid or arms of the rebels," and "that he preached against the 'Pretender [...] at Manchester [...] and Lancaster" (NA SP 36/88/3/39). At trial, with the support of witness Mary Humphreys, Coppock claimed his participation was forced (Life and Character, pp. 6-7). 6
CORNE1Edward CornwallisLater Governor of Nova Scotia (1749-1752), in which capacity he engaged in genocidal persecution of the Indigenous Mi'kmaq.1

CUNNX1George CunninghameSurgeon appointed by the Lord Justice Clerk to examine Jacobite prisoners before they were transported. See Prisoners of the '45, vol. 1, p. 182.1
CUTHL1Lancelot CuthbertBrother to the lord of Castlehill. Some confusion arises from the use of the name Colbert (as Cuthbert becomes in France), and possibly from the distinction between his rank in France and in the Jacobite Army. The Muster Roll gives his rank as Major (p. 61, under the names Cuthbert and Colbert), and so does Prisoners of the '45, (vol. 2, pp. 142-43, under the name Cuthbert). Under the name Colbert, however, Prisoners identifies him as a Colonel (vol. 2, pp 118-19). Colbert is said to have been held at the Marshalsea, with Cuthbert at New Gaol, where he would have been with John Gray. The Jacobite Officers database treats Colbert/Cuthbert as one person, and identifies him as both Major and Colonel. Anne Leith (a relative) calls him Colonel Cuthbert, and states that he was first Captain and then (by 1749) Lieutenant-Colonel in Lord John Drummond's (p. 1289). 4
DALLD1Donald DallasCousin to James Dallas of Cantray (see Dallas, Family of Dallas, p. 183).3

DAVIW1Widow Davidson2
DAWSJ1James Dawson3
DEACC1Charles Clement DeaconThe youngest of Dr Deacon's three sons involved in the Rising, captured with his brothers at Carlisle. Charles was brought to witness the execution of his eldest brother Thomas, after which he "fell into a panic Disorder" (Westminster Journal, August 9, 1746, p. 6). He was initially sentenced to the same fate, but his sentence was commuted to transportation which was carried out in 1748 or 1749 (accounts differ). It is also possible that he died in Antigua (suggested by a holograph letter from Charles to his father in 1749, miscbox/7/5 at Chetham Library) rather than in Jamaica, as stated in family records printed in the Transactions of the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society (vol. 29, p. 86).2
DEACT1Thomas Theodorus DeaconThomas Deacon was born to Dr Thomas and Sarah Deacon at Fennel Street, Manchester (ODNB). Young Thomas was educated at Salford Grammar School--James Dawson, who would be executed alongside Thomas, was a schoolfellow. Thomas was to follow his father in the medical profession (Monod, Jacobitism and the English People, pp. 333-34), but was also interested in theological pursuits, translating into English, with his brother Robert Renatus Deacon, a portion of Remy Ceiller's Analysis of the Works of All the Sacred and Ecclesiastical Authors (Chetham Library, MS/1/294). Thomas joined the rising along with brothers Robert and Charles. According to a contemporary source he was favoured to replace Francis Towneley as Colonel when Towneley was being considered for command of a Regiment of Horse (Wedderburn, Genuine Account, p. 10). At trial, witnesses testified that Thomas was seen wearing a plaid waistcoat, was active in recruiting and had participated in forcing a printer's servant to print "treasonable Papers which they call'd a Manifesto, and likewise an Advertisement; both of which were deliver'd to the Court and read" (General London Evening Mercury, July 24, 1746). Following execution, Thomas's body was buried at Red Lion Fields, while his head was sent to Manchester to be mounted on the Exchange next to Thomas Syddall's (Westminster Journal, August 9, 1746), where it remained until it was illegally removed in January 1751-52 (London Evening Post, January 31 - February 2, 1751).8
DEACT2Thomas DeaconFather to Thomas Theodorus Deacon.5
DEANE1Elizabeth Deans, Lady KinmundyWife to James Ferguson of Kinmundy from 1727. She defended her house from a Jacobite assault led by John Gordon of Glenbucket, and was afterward an active supporter of the vengeful burnings of local Jacobite and Episcopal houses (see Ferguson and Fergusson, Clan and Name of Fergusson, Ferguson, and Fergus, pp. 266-70).1

DRUMJ2Lord John Drummond, seventh Earl of PerthSon to Jean Gordon, Dowager Duchess of Perth and brother to James Drummond, sixth Earl of Perth.16
DRUMJ3James Drummond, Master of StrathallanOldest son to Margaret Murray, Viscountess of Strathallan and William Drummond, Viscount of Strathallan. Mistakenly called William in Copy of Gray, the highland Drover, his Examination before the House of Commons in 1746. Escaped to France and died in exile.1
DRUML1Reverend Laurence DrummondMinister to the Episcopal congregation at Perth. Reverend Robert Lyon was his assistant, but took a far more active role due to Drummond's temperament and frequent illness (see George T. S. Farquhar, "How the Rev. Robert Lyon was Settled in Perth, 1735-39," The Episcopal History of Perth 1689-1894, pp. 131-36). 1
DRUML2Lord Lewis DrummondYounger son to the second Jacobite Duke of Melfort, born at the Jacobite court in France. Taken prisoner after Culloden, but discharged as a French prisoner of war (Prisoners of the '45, vol. 2, pp. 164-65).1
DRUMT1Reverend Thomas DrummondTaken prisoner alongside Robert Forbes and others as they attempted to join the Rising.3
DRUMW1William Drummond, Viscount of StrathallanJacobite Governor of Perth.3
DRUMX1Dr DrummondNot confidentaly identified. Most likely Reverend Thomas Drummond, whom Dr John Burton might have met while in Edinburgh in 1747 (see p. 519). William Abernethy Drummond only took the name Drummond in 1760. Another candidate is Robert Hay Drummond (1711-1776), Archbishop of York from 1761. He was a subscriber to Dr John Burton's Ecclesiastical History of Yorkshire (1758), although it's not known if he knew Burton in the 1740s or if he knew Robert Forbes at all.5
DRUMX2Thomas Drummond of Logie-AlmondGave shelter to James Drummond, sixth Earl of Perth. Arrested and held at Stirling Castle, and released in 1747. See Prisoners of the '45, vol. 1, pp. 166-67.1
DUFFA1Anne Duff, Dowager Lady MackintoshWife to Lachlan Mackintosh, twentieth of Mackintosh. Second cousin (by marriage) to Angus Mackintosh, twenty-second of Mackintosh (Alexander Mackintosh Shaw, Historical Memoirs, pp. 445, 470-72, 487). Prisoners of the '45 names Anne, daughter of Colin Mackenzie of Redcastle, as the Dowager (vol. 3, pp. 100-101); she was mother to Angus Mackintosh, twenty-second of Mackintosh, but her husband was never Chief, so it is unlikely she would be referred to as the Dowager Lady Mackintosh (Ruvigny, Jacobite Peerage, p. 99). Fairney ("Petticoat Patronage," Appendix I) identifies Christian Menzies as the Dowager, but, according to Mackenzie, Menzies was the wife of Angus's brother and predecessor as Chief; she predeceased her husband and was not alive at the time of the Rising (Historical Memoirs, pp. 450-51). Also see Charles Fraser-Mackintosh, Clan Chattan, pp. 17, 152-53.3
DUFFJ1Jean Duff, Lady BracoDaughter to Sir James Grant, sixth Baronet and chief of Clan Grant. Wife to William Duff, Lord Braco and the first Earl of Fife, with whom she had seven daughters and seven sons.

ELPHJ2John Elphinstone, fourth Lord Balmerino and third Lord CouparFather of Arthur Elphinstone, sixth Lord Balmerino.2
EPPYX1EppyCompanion and possibly servant to Anne Leith. Writing to Forbes, Leith refers to her as "your old handmaid Eppy." Eppy or Eppie is short for Euphemia.1
ERSKA1Alexander Erskine, fifth Earl of Kellie2
ERSKC1Charles Erskine, Lord Tinwald4
ERSKR1Robert ErskinePhysician and advisor to Peter I of Russia. Brother to Charles Erskine, Lord Tinwald.2
ESNEC1Charlotte d'Argenteau, Countess of EsneuxWife to Thomas Bruce, second Earl of Ailesbury.1
EYRES1Stratford EyreDescendant of Cromwellian settlers in Ireland. See Prisoners of the '45 (vol. 1, p. 253) for details of his involvement.3
FALCJ1Reverend James FalconarPossibly son to John Falconar (c. 1660-1723), a Church of Scotland Minister (prior to the establishment of Presbyterianism) and later a college bishop of the Episcopal Church. Forbes describes James Falconar as a Scottish non-juring Episcopal minister living in London. Although The Lyon in Mourning has him being held prisoner after Culloden, he does not appear in Prisoners of the '45. Perhaps the James Falconar whom Forbes helped to establish in a chapel in Ayr in 1743-44 (Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, 1900-01). He was present with Dr Archibald Cameron at his execution.11
FALCN1Nancy Falconer1
FALCW1Bishop William FalconarFalconar wrote Robert Forbes's introduction to Reverend William Harper, to whom Forbes served as assistant at Carrubber's Close (Ingram, Jacobite Stronghold, p. 28). After relocating to Edinburgh, Falconar shows up not infrequently in various capacities in Forbes's registers (Registers of the Episcopalian Congregation in Leith, 1733-1775).7
FARQA1Anna FarquharsonWife to John Farquharson of Allargue. She was active in having her husband released from prison in 1746 (NA SP 36/89/2/9).12
FARQF1Francis Farquharson of MontalrieCousin 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).2
FARQF2Francis FarquharsonSeems unlikely to be Francis Farquharson of Montalrie, since he is not referred to by title. Charles Gordon, younger of Terpersie was in a different regiment and was held in different prisons than Montaltrie. There is a Francis Farquharson, shipmaster, among Forbes's Leith Congregation (Registers, pp. 44, 46, 47), but there is no reason to think he had anything to do with prisoners at Carlisle.2
FARQJ1John Farquharson of AllargueFarquharson 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).41

FERDI1Ferdinand IV, King of Naples3
FERGJ1John FergusonSon of George Ferguson of Oldmeldrum (Aberdeenshire). Captain of HMS Furnace. Captured and questioned Jacobites in attempt to track down Charles Edward Stuart.21
FERGX1Anne Ferguson of PitfourDaughter to Alexander Murray, fourth Lord Elibank. Wife to James Ferguson, second Laird of Pitfour, who acted as defence counsel for Jacobites at Carlisle.1
FINDX1Lady FindalHer surname would possibly have been Bayne or Baine, the name associated with the lands of Findal. There is a Euphemia Bayne among the Episcopal congregation of Perth (Farquhar, Episcopal History of Perth, p. 154).1
FINLJ1John FinlaysonWrote to the Duke of Perth in September 1745 presenting his experience as "a mathematical instrument maker who has studied fortification and gunnery," and requesting an appointment "as an engineer or constructor" (NA SP 36/77/2/35). He was captured at Culloden but returned home to Edinburgh in August 1747 (Prisoners, vol. 2, p. 193). Held in custody in London from January to December 1751 for engraving a map showing Jacobite movements in 1745-46 (NA SP 36/117/2/126; SP 36/161/1/236), after which he was left in a "state of desperation" (SP 36/118/1/29). Forbes was Finlayson's source for much of the information included with the map (see Blaikie, Itinerary, pp. 107-08).3
FINLX1FinlaysonCommissary in Stirling. Probably John (writer in Stirling) or James (town clerk in Stirling). There is also a John Finlayson identified as commissary of nearby Dunblane in documents dated between 1735 and 1752.1
FITZC1Carlos Fitz-James Stuart, fourth Duke of Liria and JéricaHusband to Princess Carolina Augusta of Stolberg.2

FORBC1Charles ForbesFather to Robert Forbes, and husband to Marjory Wright, domestic servant.1
FORBD1Duncan Forbes of Culloden24
FORBM1Peggie Forbes2
FORBR1Robert Forbes413
FORBT1Thomas ForbesThis is almost certainly the Thomas Forbes involved in the printing Dr John Burton's Genuine and True Journal of the Most Miraculous Escape of the Young Chevalier, for which Forbes was prosecuted (and mistaken for the author) in 1753 (NA SP 36/161/1/252); the Jacobite sympathiser Thomas Carte (1686-1754) had also asked Thomas Forbes to prepare the fourth volume of his General History of England for print, prior to Forbes's papers being seized (SP 36/120/2/69). Although Thomas Forbes is not an uncommon name, this is possibly also the Thomas Forbes who witnessed Forbes's baptism of Charles Edward Carnegie Robertson (son of James Robertson, vintner) in June 1746 (Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Leith, 1733-1775, p. 30). He might also be the Thomas Forbes in Rosebery's List of Persons Concerned in the Rebellion: a vintner (Copy of a Letter from Tam Forbes, London, July 28. 1749 is transmitted via vintner David Watson) originally from Peterhead (Aberdeenshire) who joined the Rising from Edinburgh. The Muster Roll of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Army (ed. Livingstone, Aikman, and Hart) identifies this Thomas Forbes as a volunteer in Pitsligo's Horse (p. 58). There is also a Thomas Forbes (then of Castle Street, St Martin-in-the-Field) who in 1746 was sent by John Farquharson of Allargue to Scotland to find witnesses favourable to Farquharson's case (NA SP 36/89/2/9 ff. 15-16). 5
FORBW1William ForbesWriter to the Signet from August 19, 1720 (A History of the Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet, p. 71). Performed legal services for Sir John Clerk of Penicuik (NRS GD18/1631, GD18/4091, GD18/5678, GD18/6192), and acted as deputy-collector for Bishops' rents in Scotland (NRS E221/2/3). Probable member of Forbes's Leith congregation (Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Leith, 1733-1775, pp. 37, 38, 40).3
FORBW2William ForbesMinister at Fisherrow. Robert Forbes performed his marriage ceremony (Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Leith, p. 59; also see pp. 34, 36, 37, 58).1

FOTHD1David FotheringhamMerchant in Dundee. McLynn identifies him as David Fotheringham of Powrie (The Road Not Taken, p. 277), but NA SP 36/93/2/35 (a list of "notable rebels not yet attainted") mentions a "David Futhringham or Fothringham Uncle to Pourie." The 1746 "List of Persons Concerned in the Rebellion" suggests that Fotheringham "was very active" as Governor, and "managed in a Tyrannical manner" (p. 212). According to Jean E. McCann, "[i]n Angus under the authority of Lord Ogilvy and David Fotheringham, rebel governor of Dundee, extortion of money in lieu of service commonly took place, often by officers and sergeants of the Ogilvy Regiment." Among others, "town governors [...] were largely responsible for the finance, supply, and movement of men and baggage, for the entire rebel army" ("The Organisation of the Jacobite Army," pp. 176, 198). Fotheringham escaped to Bergen in May of 1746, but he and other Jacobites later found refuge in Gothenburg, Sweden (Behre, "Jacobite Refugees to Gothenburg after Culloden," p. 64).1
FOTHX1Mrs FotheringhamSee NA SP 36/77/1/134: "Observations on intercepted letters from the rebels [Jacobites] sent by duke of Devonshire to duke of Newcastle. Considered are letters to Mrs David Fotheringham, wife of the rebels' [Jacobites'] governor of Dundie [Dundee] from her son [...] All are dated from Derby on 5 or 9 December 1745."1

His duty was the locking up and charge of prisoners, and to carry the axe before such of them as were sent for trial, to and from the court, the edge turned from them before conviction, and towards them after conviction" (p. 28; see also for Fowler's interactions with Arthur Elphinstone, sixth Lord Balmerino and fifth Lord Coupar and William Boyd, Earl of Kilmarnock). 2

FRASH1Hugh FraserAllegedly killed by James Lockhart, along with his son James Fraser.5
FRASH2Hugh FraserKilled by order of James Lockhart in spite of the protection of Reverend Thomas Chisholm.4
FRASH3Lieutenant Hugh FraserPossibly Hugh Fraser, seventh of Eskadale, who served in Blakeney's during the Rising; although, National Museums Scotland states that Eskadale would likely have been an Ensign in 1746 and was only made Lieutenant in 1754, while Replies by Rev. James Hay to Bishop Forbes's queries and Memorial of the suffering of David Taylor, wright in Inverness identify a Hugh Fraser as a Lieutenant in Blakeney's in 1750 if not 1746. This is probably the same Fraser noted by Anne Leith for leniency toward Jacobite prisoners.1
FRASI1Isobel FraserWife to Allan Cameron and mother to Anne Cameron. Probably sister to Simon Fraser of Lovat, although Mackenzie says of Lovat's sister Isabel only that she "died young" (History of the Frasers of Lovat, p. 246).1

FRASX1Baillie FraserPossibly: i) John Fraser, "late Baillie" as of 1723 (NRS GD304/1/149/237); or ii) Donald Fraser, "one of the late Baillies of Inverness" as of 1719 or 1747 (catalogue unclear: NRS CS229/MC/2/22). It's also possible the figure referred to is Provost John Fraser, mistakenly called Baillie.1
FRASX2Mr FraserThis is likely Lieutenant Hugh Fraser. Alternatively, he might be Hugh Fraser of Eskadale (if Lieutenant Hugh Fraser is not Eskadale) or another Fraser entirely. According to Anne Leith, he was brought to trial for his leniency with Jacobite prisoners at Inverness, but found innocent of wrongdoing (p. 1303).1

GLENM1The Men of GlenmoristonHighland men who aided Charles Edward Stuart in evading capture. Alexander MacDonald, seventh of Glenaladale gives eight names (in Copy of a Letter from Major McDonald of Glenalledell the names of Glenmoriston-men, etc. November 10. 49.), confirmed by Patrick Grant (in Leith, Friday, Octr 18th, 1751. At my own House, by ten o'Clock, Forenoon, taken down from the Mouth of Patrick Grant (commonly called Black Peter of Craskie) one of the famous Glenmoriston-Men, Donald MacDonald, Taylor in Edr, being Interpreter, as the said Patrick Grant could speak Nothing but Erse.): brothers Alexander, Donald, and Hugh Chisholm, Patrick Grant, Alexander MacDonell, John MacDonell, Gregor MacGregor, and Hugh MacMillan. Hugh MacMillan is sometimes excluded and the number reduced to seven, perhaps because, according to Patrick Grant, MacMillan was not involved in the post-Culloden Association (by Oath) of Offence &and Defence Agt the D: of Cumberland &and his Army [...] never to yield, but to die on the Spot, never to give up their Arms, &and that for all the Days of their Lives.

GORDC1Charles Gordon, younger of TerpersieClaimed he was forced to join the rising by John Gordon of Glenbucket, but was convicted and executed for high treason (NA SP 36/92/2/36). Patrick Gordon was among those who supported his claim (SP 36/86/2/146). Charles's father was also supposed to have been an officer in the Jacobite army (Prisoners, vol. 2, p. 235). His son James, only 15 years old, claimed to have been forced by Glenbucket's son (SP 36/85/1/136), and was repreived in January 1747 (SP 36/92/2/15). See also Prisoners of the '45, pp. 238-39.

GORDJ2John Gordon of GlenbucketA participant the Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745, and possibly also in 1689. Extremely active in recruiting for the Jacobite army, allegedly sometimes by force. Escaped to the continent after Culloden. Father-in-law to John MacDonell of Glengarry and Donald MacDonell of Lochgarry.4
GORDJ3John GordonSources give conflicting biographical information. Constance Oliver Skelton and John Malcolm Bulloch identify him as the son of Peter Gordon, wadsetter at Birkenbush (Gordons under Arms, p. 526). Elsewhere, Bulloch mentions John Gordon as the son of Alexander, eldest son of John Gordon, formerly of Oxhill, and states that the priest of Presholm "was 'out' with Lord Lewis Gordon" (The House of Gordon, p. 239). According to Rosebery's List of Persons Concerned in the Rebellion, he "Went to Perth with Recruits and afterwards followed the Rebels" (p. 28). Skelton and Bulloch add that he "studied in Paris" and was ordained September 21, 1734. According to Aeneas McDonell Dawson, Gordon was in hiding for some time following Culloden, and he died "under a cloud" at Rothiemay (Catholics of Scotland, cited in Skelton and Bulloch).1
GORDJ4John Gordon, eighth of Avochie1
GORDJ5Jean Gordon, Dowager Duchess of PerthMother to James Drummond, sixth Earl of Perth and Lord John Drummond, seventh Earl of Perth.

She was imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle from February to November, 1746 (Prisoners of the '45, vol. 1, p. 214). 0
GORDJ6John Gordon of Auchriachan, younger of GlenbucketSurrendered in April 1746 and released under the Indemnity of 1747 (see Prisoners of the '45, vol. 2, pp. 238-39; also Muster Roll, p. 121). Anne Leith was particularly attentive to his needs while imprisoned in Inverness, partly on account of his being related to her late husband (p. 1293).1
GORDL1Lord Lewis GordonJacobite lord lieutenant of Aberdeenshire and Banffshire. Especially active in forcing participation in the Jacobite army (see Layne, "Spines of the Thistle"). Escaped to France after Culloden and went into French military service.2

GORDR1Bishop Robert GordonAccording to the ODNB, Gordon was "a frequent visitor" to Jacobite prisoners in the aftermath of the '45. He was the last non-juring Bishop of the Anglican church, although through his father and other connections he was strongly linked to the Scottish Episcopal Church. Gordon likely presided over the short-lived conversion of Charles Edward Stuart to Anglicanism. He was at times assisted in his work by James Falconar and his brother Charles Falconar.164

GRAHJ1James Graham, Marquess of MontroseChief of Clan Graham. Although he aligned himself with the Covenanters early on, he was later the royalist leader of Scottish forces in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. Executed for the Stuart cause, "he became a symbol of determination and loyalty until death" (Stevenson, ODNB).2
GRAHJ2John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount of DundeeLeader of the first Jacobite resistance in Scotland until his death in the battle of Killiecrankie.1
GRAHJ3James Graham of Duntroon, sixth titular Viscount of DundeeAccording to Evan Charteris (editor of Elcho's memoirs), Graham evaded capture and afterwards had a company in the French service in Lord Ogilvy's regiment (Short Account of the Affairs of Scotland, p. 287).1
GRAHJ4James Graham, younger of AirthSon to James Graham of Airth (1676-1746), a judge who had defended Jacobites following the 1715 Rising. Brother to Elizabeth Graham. James Barclay described the younger Graham as being between 20 and 30, and said that [h]e always rode where the young Pretender was (Allardyce, Historical Papers, vol. 2, p. 367).1
GRAHJ5John Grahame, fifth of Balgowan1
GRAHJ6John GrahamAn "ardent Jacobite" and friend to Dr John Burton.

GRANA3Alexander GrantFactor to James Ogilvy, fifth Earl of Findlater and second Earl of Seafield. See his deposition on the burning of Cullen House in Cramond, Plundering of Cullen House, pp. 6-8.1
GRANC1Alexander Grant of GrantsfieldSome uncertainty with this identification. The narrative in the Lyon in Mourning aligns with the Albemarle Papers, pp. 216-17, where the Captain is identified as Alexander Grant. In the Lyon in Mourning, he is identified on p. 166 as son to Ludovick Grant of Knockando, but they were actually brothers (Fraser, Chiefs of Grant, vol. 1, pp. 504-05).3
GRAND1Donald GrantTransported to Barbados but returned home in August of 1750. See Prisoners, vol. 2, pp. 252-53.1

GRANJ4John Grant of WhiteraNot identified outside of the Lyon in Mourning.0
GRANJ5James GrantFormerly on the staff of the Caledonian Mercury (working under Thomas Ruddiman), Grant was chiefly employed "printing proclamations and papers" during the campaign (Prisoners of the '45, vol. 1, pp. 135-36). He was also active in the Rising of 1715 (Prisoners of the '45, vol. 2, pp. 256-57).1
GRANJ6James GrantHis house was burned by government troops in the aftermath of Culloden.1
GRANL1Ludovick GrantSee Journals of the Episcopal Visitations of the Right Rev. Forbert Forbes, ed. J. B. Craven (London: Skeffington and Son, 1886). Grant was one of the presbyters--operating illegally according to the Church of Scotland--who elected Robert Forbes Bishop of Ross and Caithness (pp. 126, 357-58). Forbes referred to Grant as one of the most lively, cheerful old men I ever conversed with, and was master of so much acuteness and mettle that it was a pleasure to hear him talk; Rachel Houston also had a great Liking for him (p. 247). 5
GRANL2Ludovick Grant of KnockandoDuring the Rising, he wrote to Ludovic Grant of Grant that he was unable to persuade locals to serve in the government army (NRS GD248/48/4, 28).1

GRANR2Robert Grant of Milton1
GRANX1Grant of DaldregganPossibly Aeneas Grant of Daldreggan, served heir to his great-grandfather in 1730, although he transferred the wadset the following year to Ludovick Colquhoun of Luss (Fraser, Chiefs of Grant, p. 522).5
GRANX2Captain GrantPossibly Alexander Grant of Grantsfield, who commanded a party of Loudoun's. This Captain Grant, however, is noted for showing mercy, which would be a significant departure from Captain Alexander's reported behaviour; this might be accounted for by the fact that the recipient of the mercy was a fellow Grant. Alternatively, this Captain Grant might be Patrick Grant of Rothiemurchus, who was Captain of an Independent Company raised by order of John Campbell, fourth Earl of Loudoun (Fraser, Chiefs of Grant, vol. 1, pp. 411, 414).3
GRAYD1David GrayDavid Gray was either a weaver (Prisoners vol. 2 p. 267) or a brewer (List of Persons p. 168) in Arbroath. During the rising, he acted as groom to Murray of Broughton. Taken on suspicion at Arbroath (Prisoners vol. 2, p. 266), he was brought to London to give evidence against Murray of Broughton and Balmerino--he claimed to have known the latter for "about Six or Seven Years" (Whole Proceedings, p. 20). In London he was held in the house of William Ward, King's Messenger, along with fellow witnesses James Barclay and Hugh Douglas, among others (NA SP 36/91/1/61-62).1
GRAYJ1John Gray of RogartJohn Gray acquired Rogart through his marriage to Rachel Munro in 1733, with whom he had two daughters: Elizabeth and Isabel. Rogart was sold to the Earl of Sutherland in 1762 (see Beard, "Satire and Social Change, p. 4). Gray seems to have turned evidence to avoid transportation (Prisoners of the '45, vol. 2, pp. 266-67). Also see Fraser, Sutherland Book, vol. 2, p. 270 and particularly pp. 271-72 (a letter probably authored by him). 3
GRAYJ2John GrayPrisoners of the '45 states that Gray was "[p]ardoned on condition of permanent banishment" from July 2, 1747 (p. 266), although he was apparently still "in irons" at New Gaol by January 7, 1748 (NA SP 36/106/1/6), and on April 4 Monsieur Carpentier requested his transfer to Marshalsea Prison (SP 36/106/2/44). According to Anne Leith, Gray was "ane olde Courteir of" hers and "wilingly wod have made me his Compainon for Life" (pp. 1290, 1299). Alexander Vere, surgeon and son to Captain Daniel Vere, intervened in Gray's favour, identifying Gray as one of two soldiers who helped Vere escape imprisonment by the Jacobite Army at Falkirk (SP 36/88/1/20). 5

LUMIW1William LumisdenFather of Andrew Lumisden1
LYONC1Cicie LyonSister to Reverend Robert Lyon.2
LYOND1David LyonHusband to Mrs Lyon. This is most likely the Reverend David Lyon, Episcopal minister at St Andrews and later Glasgow (Craven, Journals of Episcopal Visitations, p. 33), who corresponded with Forbes (CH12/12/779 and 1104). He died some time before October, 1774 (pp. 2074-2075).6
LYONJ1Reverend James LyonFather to Reverend Robert Lyon. See Farquhar, Episcopal History of Perth, p. 135.1
LYONR1Reverend Robert LyonRobert Lyon was appointed assistant to Reverend Laurence Drummond in Perth in 1739; Robert Forbes may also have been considered for this appointment (Farquhar, Episcopal History of Perth, p. 134). With Drummond ill, Lyon soon dominated. The Episcopal Meeting House at Perth was noted as "'a nursery of Jacobitism'," and Lyon's participation in the 1745 rising was regarded as a foregeone conclusion by the Reverend William Erskine (Farquhar, pp. 138, 157, 160). On receiving news of the Jacobite victory at Prestonpans, Lyon is said to have illuminated his window with "C., P. R." (Charles, Prince Regent), and departed to join the Jacobite army soon after, serving as a chaplain in Ogilvy's Regiment. Witnesses contradicted Lyon's claim that he never bore arms, and his attempt to pledge loyalty to the established government failed to save his life (NA SP 36/92/1/142).9

MAITL1Reverend John MaitlandChaplain and tutor to the Oliphants of Gask. Unclear if he was also chaplain in the Forfarshire (Ogilvy's) Regiment (along with Reverend Robert Lyon) who escaped after the rising (Muster Roll, p. 91). 9
MALCO1MalcolmPossibly Malcolm MacPherson of Ballachroan ("Malcolm Dubh" or Black Malcolm), officer in Macpherson of Cluny's Regiment. Either James Barclay or James Patterson is supposed to have been his servant (probably the former, since the latter is identified as servant to Alexander Garrioch of Mergie in Muster Roll, p. 9).1
MAREM1Mario Compagnoni MarefoschiMarried Charles Edward Stuart and Louisa, Princess of Stolberg-Gedern (see McLynn, Charles Edward Stuart, p. 499).1

MARTA1Anne MartinDaughter to William Martin of Inchfure, and second wife to Norman MacLeod of Dunvegan, twenty-second of MacLeod.1
MASOE1Edward MasonLikely the Edward Mason who, in 1758, succeeded Sir Everard Fawkener as secretary to Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland. Prior to this he was deputy secretary and librarian (Roberts, The Gardens and Parks of Windsor, p. 36), but it isn't clear what his role was during the '45.1
MAULA1Aulay MacAulayPresbyterian minister in Harris. Father to John MacAulay, grandfather to the abolitionist Zachary Macaulay, and great grandfather to Thomas Babington Macaulay. See Scott's Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, vol. 7, p. 189; also Blaikie, Itinerary, pp. 48-49.3
MAULJ1John MacAulayPresbyterian minister in South Uist. Son to Aulay MacAulay, father to the abolitionist Zachary Macaulay, and grandfather to the historian Thomas Babington Macaulay (Itinerary, pp. 48-49). See Scott, Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, vol. 3, p. 336; also Blaikie, Itinerary, pp. 48-49. also2
MAULX1MacAulayEdward Burk identifies this MacAulay as the skipper of a vessel hired by Charles Edward Stuart and his retinue, and alleges that this MacAulay betrayed the group to Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland. However, Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland was not in the region at the time, and Edward Burk or Robert Forbes might be confusing this detail with the role played by Aulay MacAulay and John MacAulay.1

With Marjory Cameron, Morar had five sons (John, Ewen, Allan, Ludovick, and Angus), any one of which could be the "boy" mentioned in the Lyon in Mourning. See also Blaikie, Origins of the 'Forty-Five, pp. 81-82.7

Sources disagree on whether or not he conformed to Presbyterianism after 1688.1
MDONA33Alexander MacDonaldIdentified in the Muster Roll as "Nephew to Dalilea" (apparently on the basis of Blaikie, Origins of the Forty-Five, Appendix VIII, p. 454, which implies he was the poet's son), but Angus MacDonald of Dalilea had no nephew called Alexander.1

MDOND7Donald MacDonell, fourth of ScotusFather to Ranald MacDonell, fifth of Scotus and grandfather to Aeneas MacDonell, sixth of Scotus. Said to have died as Culloden, although an alternate narrative has him and other wounded Jacobites captured and sold to Caribbean plantations, with Scotus later taken by Turkish pirates "and held in bondage ever afterwards." His son Ranald was on the government side (Loudoun's) in the Rising. See MacDonald and MacDonald, The Clan Donald, vol. 3, pp. 323-24.1

MDONI1Isabel MacDonellA Gentlewoman who was sexually assaulted by government troops.4
MDONJ1John MacDonaldKilled during or after the Battle of Culloden. Son of Angus MacDonald of Boradale, and brother to Ranald and John MacDonald (Iain Frangach).

She was "accounted the best Gaelic scholar" in Strathglass, was a collector of Gaelic manuscripts, and as a granddaughter of Glengarry was "known in her youth as 'the pride of Glengarry'" (History of the Frasers of Lovat, pp. 617-18).2

He was transported by ship from Inverness to Newcastle, where he was held for examination before being sent to London (NA SP 36/84/1/69). He later appealed to be moved from the custody of King's Messenger Richard Lucas to Nathan Carrington, on account of poor treatment from Lucas (SP 36/89/1/64). He gave evidence at trial against Balmerino and others, and later petitioned with several others for relief from the persecution they suffered as witnesses (SP 36/104/1/32). He continued to act as evidence for the government (SP 36/109/1/47) and was not released from custody until January of 1750 (SP 36/111/2/73).1

One source notes that [w]ine barrels were one of the received methods of transporting arms (Barnard and Clark, eds, Lord Burlington, p. 283). A Wm.

MFRID1Donald MacFriar3
MGHIW1William McGhieWilliam McGhie has been identified alternately as a glazier from Dumfries (List of Persons, p. 144) and a merchant from Edinburgh. He was allegedly sent by Charles Edward Stuart to Carlisle to report on the government army and to "bring forward Rebel Stragglers" (List of Persons, p. 145). He was taken prisoner at Dumfries on April 30, 1746 (Prisoners vol. 3, pp. 90-91), and subsequently held in London at the house of Nathan Carrington, King's Messenger, along with fellow witnesses James Patterson and Samuel Maddox, among others. He gave evidence against several Jacobites, most notoriously Lord Balmerino and Aeneas MacDonald. At Balmerino's trial, McGhie testimony was so quiet that the Lord High Steward arranged for a clerk to stand near him and repeat his words so that they could be heard (Whole Proceedings, p. 17). In the following years, McGhie and other witnesses made several petitions for relief from the persecution they faced as witnesses, both in London and in Scotland (NA SP 36/102/1/62, 36/102/1/66, 36/104/1/32, 36/104/1/85, 36/104/1/86).1

MGROA1Alexander MacGrowther of Dalchruinn Alexander MacGrowther was a major tenant of the Drummonds of Perth, who had also participated in the 1715 rising. In 1745, he was a Lieutenant in the Duke of Perth's, and was captured at Carlisle. He was also known as Robertson, Robinson, and Robeison (Allardyce, Historical Papers, vol. 2, p. xxix). At trial, he claimed he was an unwilling participant who joined after the Jacobite Duke of Perth threatened to burn the fields and homes of his tenants (Allardyce, Historical Papers, vol. 2, pp. 384-86). The court's finding of his guilt is frequenty referred to in law (e.g. Hollander, Military Law Review 27 (1965), p. 71), as it was judged that duress may only be argued if the threat is enduring, and if it applies to person, not property. MacGrowther's sentence of death was commuted to transportation, but he was later reprieved and allowed to return to home on the grounds of old age and illness (Prisoners, p. 97). MacGrowther's son Alexander, also a lieutenant in the Duke of Perth's, died in prison (Prisoners, pp. 98-99).3

MIVEA1Alexander MacIverAlexander MacIver seems to have been the name he used--the name Fraser may have been assumed on the basis of his regiment and clan, although it is not clear why his name was thought to be John. Although he was taken prisoner at Culloden, he does not appear under either name in Cumberland's list of prisoners taken at Culloden (RA CP/Main Box 69 Series XI.20.22, as transcribed by Darren Layne) or in Prisoners of the '45. While the printed account transcribed in the Lyon in Mourning has him as an Ensign, Rosebury's List of Persons Concerned in the Rebellion has him as a Sergeant (p. 79). He is further described in the latter source as a tenant at Wellhouse near Beauly, parish of Kilmorack (p. 78).12
MKAYA1Anne MacKay5
MKAYE1Ewan McCayOn his capture, see Kenneth Mackenzie, Lord Fortrose's letter to William Blakeney, first Baron Blakeney (Albemarle Papers, pp. 171 and 179). Some of the confusion over his name is explained on p. 1575. As a tenant of Donald Cameron, nineteenth of Lochiel, he might have used the name Cameron. While often conflated, the name MacCay derives from the Gaelic for son of David, while MacKay derives from son of Hugh--see George F. Black, The Surnames of Scotland: Their Origin, Meaning, and History (New York: New York Public Library, 1946), p. 522. 7
MKAYG1George Mackay of SkiboSon to George Mackay, third lord Reay and younger brother to Hugh Mackay of Bighouse.1

MKAYJ1James MackayServant to Magdalene Scott, Lady Bruce of Kinross, and member of Forbes's congregation (Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Leith, pp. 16, 27, 30, 57, 58). Mackay was taken prisoner alongside Robert Forbes in September, 1745 (Registers, p. 30), but Prisoners of the '45 is clearly mistaken in identifying him as the James Mackay who drowned in Liverpool after sentence of transportation (vol. 3, pp. 108-09); this happened in March 1747, but Mackay is active years later in the Lyon in Mourning. 2
MKECJ1John MacDonald MacKechan1

MKENJ1James MackenzieMost likely the author of The General Grievances and Oppression of the Isles of Orkney and Shetland (Edinburgh, 1750). The short biography in the 1836 edition (Edinburgh: Laing and Forbes) notes that he became a writer in Kirkwall, that his great-grandfather was Murdoch Mackenzie (1600-1688), Bishop of Orkney, and that he was brother to Murdoch Mackenzie (1712-1797), "the celebrated nautical surveyor" (p. ix).1

MLACA1Alexander MacLachlanClaimed his participation in the Rising was forced by Lachlan MacLachlan of Castle Lachlan (SP 36/89/1/32). Convicted and sentenced to death, although his sentence was reduced to transportation. He was still awaiting transportation in late 1748, when he escaped (Prisoners, vol. 3, pp. 138-41).1
MLACA2Archibald MacLachlanFellow prisoner with Robert Forbes in Edinburgh Castle (see Prisoners vol. 3, pp. 140-41).1
MLACJ1John MacLachlanThe Muster Roll identifies John MacLachlan of Kilchoan (p. 181). Rosebery's List of Persons Concerned in the Rebellion names a Mr Jon M'Lauchlan of Kilchoan, but he is not identified as the chaplain. Scott's Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae has two Reverend John MacLachlans of Kilchoan (father and son), but the younger died before 1730 (vol. 4, pp. 2-3). Likely this John MacLachlan was the son or even the grandson of the latter, and does not appear in Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae because of the family's adherence to the Episcopal Church. He might have been the John MacLachlan of Kilchoan who died in 1789 (Gillies, Netherborn and Its Neighbourhood, pp. 18-19).8

MLEAH1Sir Hector MacLean of DuartLived between France and Scotland his whole life. Thomas Bowdler was questioned on his relationship with MacLean, testifying that he had not met MacLean but had corresponded with him (SP 36/80/2/3). While Prisoners of the '45 gives his rank as major in Lord John Drummond's Royal Scots, the Muster Roll does not list him at all; his involvement with the Royal Scots was a matter in MacLean's interrogation (SP 36/66/370), and one witness believed he was Lieutenant-Colonel in the regiment (SP 36/81/1/94). MacLean was released from custody in June 1747 (Prisoners, vol. 3, p. 146). Sources also conflict on whether MacLean died in Rome in 1750 (Sinclair, Clan Gillean, p. 246) or in Paris in 1751 (Ruvigny, Jacobite Peerage, p. 102).3

Husband to Christian (née Main), and later Margaret (née Lockhart). Rattray's connection (through his second wife) to the Lockharts of Carnwath is likely why Forbes asked him to intervene with George Lockhart on behalf of Cameron of Glenpean in Narrative of a conversation betwixt Donald Cameron of Glenpean & me Robert Forbes, and Copies of Letters in his favours et cetera.10

Attempting but failing to lead a company to join him, he returned to the Jacobite army in their service. This was certainly against the wishes of both his father and Duncan Forbes of Culloden, who was Malcolm's grand-uncle (see letters printed in Read, Rossiana, pp. 128-29). Munro alleges that Malcolm was drawn by the promise of being made Laird of Balnagowan ("Account of the Late Rebellion", in Blaikie, Origins of the 'Forty-Five, pp. 105-106). 1

After recovering, he managed to go on to Scotland to join the Rising and aid in the rescue of Charles (Hayes, "Irishmen in France," pp. 526-27). The Muster Roll has him as Master of Horse in the Jacobite Army (p. 8), while Hayes states he as aide-de-camp to Charles Edward Stuart. 1

SMITX2Reverend SmithSuggested to be the successor to James White as assisant to William Harper at St Paul's. Most likely Willam Smith, formerly of Aberdeen but resident in London in the early 1770s; Bishop Robert Gordon resists Smith's proposed transfer to Edinburgh on the grounds that he is the only other nonjuror in London (p. 2003).5
SMYTX1Mr SmythProbably James Smyth, surgeon: a member of the Episcopal congregation in Perth noted for his active role on the Jacobite side of the Risings of 1715 and 1745 (Farquhar, Episcopal History of Perth, pp. 155, 173).

STEWJ1John SteuartBaillie of Inverness. See especially: The Letter-Book of Bailie John Steuart of Inverness 1715-1752, ed. William MacKay (Edinburgh: Scottish History Society, 1915).

STEWM1Mary Stewart, Lady FortroseEldest daughter to Alexander Stewart, sixth Earl of Galloway, and wife to Kenneth Mackenzie, Lord Fortrose, with whom she had 7 children. While her husband was in service of the government during the Rising, Lady Fortrose acted in support of the Jacobite effort (Duffy, The '45, p. 553).1
STEWR1Robert StewartCommanded the Jacobite troops at the skirmish of Keith. Possibly a son of Sir Walter Stewart of Strathdon and Glenlivet; on p. 1143, he identifies himself as a "younger representative" of Sir Walter Stewart of Strathdon and Glenlivet, and in the Oath of Allegiance taken by officers of Perth's regiment, his name is given as Robert Stewart Younger of Stradown (Macphail, Fraser Papers, p. 277). The Officers of the Jacobite Armies database lists Captain Robert Stewart (of Roy Stewart's) and Captain Robert Stewart, Younger of Strathdon (of Perth's and Roy Stewart's) as separate officers (source: Muster Roll), but this is likely an error. The Muster Roll treats them as the same person (see pp. 68 and 205).8
STEWT1Thomas StewartChamberlain to Duncan Forbes of Culloden and "Chief house keeper" at Culloden House.3
STEWW1Sir Walter Stewart of Strathdon and GlenlivetNot identified outside of the Lyon in Mourning. Possibly father (or at least a relative) to Robert Stewart and Ludovic Stewart.1

STEWX1StewartAuthor of "a Letter from Pisa," March 20, 1775, vol. 10, pp. 3029-3031. A "near relation" to Alexander Stewart of Glenbuckie.2
STEWX2StewartMost likely Major James Stewart of the Duke of Perth's Regiment, although there was also a Major Stewart of the Stewarts of Appin, whose given name and fate are both unknown (Muster Roll, p. 12). James Stewart was captured at Culloden, tried and convicted at Southwark, and pardoned on consideration of his mercy toward a Dragoon at Prestonpans (Prisoners, vol. 3, pp. 344-45). According to a list of prisoners taken at or after Culloden, James Stewart was originally from Aberdeenshire (no. 854, RA CP/Main Box 69 Series XI.20.22, as transcribed by Darren Layne).1
STEWX3StewartPossibly Alexander Stewart, Charles Edward Stuart's footman.1
STEWX5Mr StewartDonald MacDonell of Tiendrish tasked John Moir with securing the money Stewart was "due" Tiendrish, to be transferred to Tiendrish's wife.1

STRIF1Francis Edward Joseph StricklandOne of the Seven Men of Moidart who set out from France with Charles Edward Stuart. Son to Robert Strickland of Catterick, Yorkshire, James II and VII's Vice Chamberlain. Godson to James Francis Edward Stuart, although only three years his junior. Among other services to the Stuart household, he was later appointed tutor to Henry Benedict Stuart and a chaperone to Charles Edward Stuart. By 1745, Strickland had fallen out of favour with James Francis Edward Stuart and was dismissed from service. His experience in Scotland in the 1715 rising, however, recommended him to Charles Edward Stuart for involvement in the '45, in spite of James Francis Edward Stuart's warnings about Strickland's character. Although he was persistently ill, Strickland was active providing for Charles's household and recruiting support for the rising. This entry is entirely indebted to Ian D. Hodkinson, "In the Shadow of the Stuart Pretenders: The Life of Francis Strickland 'Man of Moidart' (and Westmorland?)," Northern History 57 (2020): pp. 77-100, which provides much new information and corrects many errors in previous scholarship.5

SUTHA1Andrew SutherlandLikely among the officers captured by the Jacobite army at Prestonpans. Possibly the Andrew Sutherland whose marriage was recorded in 1748, "sometime Ensign, now Lietuenant in Colonel Thomas Murray's Regiment of Foot" (Grant, ed., Commissariot of Edinburgh 1658-1800, p. 28).1

SYDDT2Thomas SyddallFather to Thomas Syddall of the 1745 Manchester Regiment. The senior Syddall was executed in 1716 for his support of the Jacobite rising of the previous year.1
SYDDX1Mrs SyddallRichard Wright Proctor identifies an Esther Syddall, who died aged 74 in 1778, as Thomas Syddall's widow (Memorials of Bygone Manchester, p. 114), although there are other possible candidates. According to tradition, Thomas Syddall's head, mounted at the Manchester Exchange, was visible from Mrs Syddall's bedroom window, on account of which the window was "boarded up" (Harland, Collectanea Relating to Manchester, p. 217). A contemporary account from the Chester Courant (quoted in Harland, p. 223), describes an attack on the Syddall house by "a party of soldiers, along with some townsmen," occasioned by Mrs Syddall's failure to illuminate the windows in celebration of the government's victory at Culloden--Mrs Syddall took cover with her children at a neighbour's house.2

WEDDA1Alexander Wedderburn, first Earl of Rosslyn1
WEIRJ1John VereCaptain John Vere (or Weir) was a highly active government spy from at least 1725 (NA SP 35/55/47). In December 1745 he was captured by the Jacobite army (NA SP 36/80/1/81), but survived to act as a witness against many Jacobite prisoners, as well as to ask for mercy at least in the case of Allan Cameron of Callart (SP 36/89/2/54). Although Prisoners of the '45 (vol. 1, p. 232) refers to Vere as an "English spy," Vere appears to have some connection to Ireland; his son Roger wrote to the Duke of Newcastle from Carrickfergus when Vere was captured and presumed killed. Although it would offer a rather convoluted history, he may be the same as the Lieutenant John Vere of the Irish Dragoons, who sold his commission and was seeking other employment ("having served since 1708") in 1743 (SP 41/15/57). 2

WINRJ1James WinramePossibly the James Winram noted in Rosebery's List of Persons (pp. 340-41) as being resident of the Canongate, and "Son to the late Ey[e]mouth," meaning either George Winram of Eyemouth (deceased) or Robert, who was in the process of losing the estate.1
WISEX1Mr Wiseheart1
WOLFJ1James WolfeFamously died after the victory over French troops at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in Quebec, 1759. Wolfe's ODNB entry notes his appearances in the Lyon in Mourning, as well as Steuart of Allanton's contribution to Wolfe's mythology, on the basis of a story taken from the Lyon in Mourning (specifically Replies by Rev. James Hay to Bishop Forbes's queries).2
WOODA1Andrew WoodAndrew Wood petitioned for mercy on the basis that he had aided in the escape of prisoners of the Jacobite army, and because he was from a loyalist family; Wood's father (John) and grandfather (Andrew) both had records of military service for the government, the former in 1715 and 1745 and the latter under William III and again in 1715. See Prisoners of the '45, vol. 3, pp. 408-09, and NA SP 36/88/3/62. 6

See Prisoners of the '45, vol. 1, p. 20, and vol. 3, pp. 410-11. The Lyon in Mourning reveals James Wright's role in helping other prisoners.7
YAIRC1Calum Mc Ean YairoOne of the men who ferried Charles Edward Stuart to the mainland. Calum Mc Ean Yairo is a patronymic: Malcolm son of John. He would likely otherwise be known as Calum or Malcolm MacKinnon. "Yairo" is either an adjectival nickname or a reference to place. The closest phoenetic possibility is "iar-ogha" (great-grandson, perhaps of someone famous). Other possibilities include "iar-thuath" (Northwest), and eàrra (scar). Thank you to Rob Dunbar and Aonghas MacCoinnich for input on the interpretation of this word.1
