ACOCUNT OF THE BETHUNES OF THE ISLAND OF SKYE, Edinburgh, 1778,
reprinted London, 1893, by Alfred A. Bethune-Baker, reprinted by
ScotsPress, pp. 34-35.
Ferquhard, the eldest son of Mr. John Bethune just now mentioned, was
the ninth descendent in a male line from John Bethune fifth laird of
Balfour, and Marjory third daughter of David Boswell of Balmuto. He
removed from Sky to Kintyre, where he married Isobel, daughter of Colin
M''Eacharn of Kilellan. He succeeded to the estate of Kilellan, upon the
death of his wife''s brother Neil without issue. But it was so much
burdened with debt, and what was free of it was so much embarrassd by
the Duchess Dowager of Argyle, who raised a most expensive and tedious
process against him, which could not be brought to a final decision until
some time after his spouse''s death: For these reasons, instead of
gaining anything by the succession, he was a great loser; and, on that
account, was obliged to part with a good deal of his own patrimony. He
died in the year 1762, aged almost an hundred.
By his wife Isobel M''Eacharn, he had six sons, Angus, Hector, John,
Colin, Lauchlan, and Duncan.
