Clan History

St. Clare in Pont d'Eveque in Normandy is generally thought to be the birthplace of this great northern clan.

The family received a grant of the Barony of Roslin in Midlothian during the twelfth century. Through marriage, the family obtained the Earldom of Orkney, and in the next century received land in Caithness. The earldom or kingdom of Orkney was later resigned by order of James III.

The chief of clan Sinclair at this time split the family lands, giving the lands of Caithness to his elder son, and the lands at Roslin to his younger son. It was around this point that the spelling "Sinclair" came into general use, although the Earls of Roslin still prefer to use the older form of "St. Clare".

The Earls of Caithness engaged in a long succession of feuds with their neighbours and within the family. This resulted in the 4th Earl imprisoning his son in Girnigoe Castle, where he starved to death.

Much of the Sinclair lands in Caithness had to be sold off to pay debts. Within the family, rights to estates were disputed and culminated in a battle between the Sinclairs and the Campbells on the banks of Altimarlech, near Wick. It is said that, as a result of this battle, "so many Sinclairs were killed that the Campbells were able to cross the water without getting their feet wet".

The Earls of Caithness engaged in a long succession of feuds with their neighbours and within the family. This resulted in the 4th Earl imprisoning his son in Girnigoe Castle, where he starved
.

Annie married William PATTON,273 son of John Dunn PATTON and Elizabeth "Bethia" ANDERSON, on 16 Jan 1790 in Kirkwall & St Ola, Mainland, Orkney Islands, Scotland.274 William was born on 8 May 1760 in Leith South, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland and was baptised on 11 May 1760 in Leith South, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.

Details of the place and date of birth are unknown at this time.

William is the 5th great-father of Gary Ian Patton

William was a Baker by trade and owned a bakery in Kirkwall.

Charles Corsie Patton (1903-2001) in an interview with Doug Hutchinson on the 23rd November 1984, indicated that there may have been a link with the family and the Highland Park Distillery in Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands (see Charles Corsie Patton record for more details.)

This link may well have been the fact that William may have been a Vintner and travelled to the Orkney Islands to work at Highland Park.

The Edinburgh Advertiser, dated 27 February 1781 lists a William Paton as being a Vintner in Leith. Was this our William and was his knowledge of Wine Making and the use of yeast in the fermentation process enough from him to transition from working with the Highland Park Distillery which was established in 1798, to then establish his own bakery?

Added to this fact his Grandmother, Susanna Dunn, was from Longformacus home of the
Sinclair Baronets of Longformacus, may have been enough of a connection for William to meet, fall in love and eventually marry Annie Sinclair. Perhaps Annie was the reason that William travelled to Kirkwell to find work with Highland Park Distillery, to be closer to her family??

The fact that at this time William appears to be the only male child in his family created significant barriers in tracing his lineage. Although we had traced him back through to this line it wasn't until we started to receive DNA results from family members in the USA that the family tree started to consolidate.
Being the only male child could also have assisted him in living in relative isolation from family members in the Orkney Islands. Most of his cousins having emigrated to colonial America.

Y

St Clair's states very clearly that Marjory married John Dunbar, son of Sir Patrick Dunbar of Northfield, her cousin-german. This is the only Sir Patrick with a son John.

Marjory married John DUNBAR,1,2,6,220 son of Sir Patrick DUNBAR 3rd Baronet, Northfield 1,2 and Katherine SINCLAIR Lady Bowermadden,1,2 about 1763.6.,220 John was born about 1726. They had no children.

Cousins-german (first cousins).
St Clair's states that this couple married, but had no children. This directly contradicts Burkes Peerage who state he died prior to Marjory's birth, and unmarried.

As they were first cousins there should be a papal dispensation or some form of allowance for this marriage to prove or disprove it.

predeceased his father (dvp)

Burkes Peerage claims John died, unmarried, in April 1749. St Clair's states he married Marjory Sinclair, but died with no issue. Marjory wasn't born until about 1749.

Events

John has conflicting death information of Apr 1749. This is the date Burkes Peerage gives for his death (without substantiation).

The bridal couple were making their way from the bride1s home of Bighouse to spend their honeymoon at Hempriggs House, almost certainly journeying on horseback when at Sibster they found the River Wick in spate and the ford there impassable. As darkness was falling they sought and found shelter in the cottage.

The author of the Mey Letters refer to this James Sinclair as the 3rd Baronet of Mey, however this certainly appears to be incorrect - he was at least the 5th Baronet. Nonetheless it was definitely this James' father who died in a debtors prison in Kirkwall in 1732.

746. Alexander SINCLAIR Of Brabsterdorran 1,2,6,94,196,225,271 (Jean SINCLAIR598, George406, Francis Of Brabsterdorran277, William 1st Of Southdun210, John 2nd Of Dun161, David Of Dun, First Of Forss114, John 3rd Earl of Caithness of Mey68, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness45, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness - 3rd Earl Of Orkney39, Henry 2nd Earl Of Orkney27, Henry Lord Of Roslin, Earl Of Orkney (Prince)21, William Of Roslin18, William Of Roslin (Sir)16, Henry Of Roslin (Sir)15, William (Sir)11, Henri10, Henri9, William8, Henri7, Henri3, William 'The Seemly'2, Walderne1) was born about 1745 in Rattar, Dunnet, Caithness, Scotland6,225 and died about 1781 in Bower, Caithness, Scotland,6,225 aged about 36.

1772 - retoured heir to his great grandfather, Francis Sinclair.
1780 - sold his interest in Brabsterdorran to Miss Sinclair of Southdun (St Clairs, p.244)

According to St Clair's (p.243 and 244) this Alexander was the son of David Sinclair and Jean Sinclair, however, according to the Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, he was Alexander Sinclair of Brabsterdorran, who was the son of John Sinclair and Margaret, who assigned her wadset to her son Alexander in 1693. Alexander then sold his interest in Brabsterdorran.

Alexander was known to be the great grandson of Francis of Brabsterdorran, and since he was the last Sinclair of Brabsterdorran, they must be one and the same person, so his parentage is very much in question. Conclusion - there must have been two Alexander Sinclair's of Brabsterdorran at the same time. Considering each person only owned a portion of the estate this is feasible. However, this also means that John Sinclair and Margaret, with sons William and Alexander, who were granted a wadset to Brabsterdorran by Henry Dundas in 1670 are apparently unconnected to any of the other families of the area.

David Sinclair and Jean Sinclair being Alexander's parents makes more sense in terms of Alexander being Francis Sinclair's great grandson.

Alexander married Margaret CHRISTIE,1,2,6,225 daughter of John CHRISTIE Of Ormiston 1,2,6,225 and Mary MILLER,1,2,94,348 on 14 Aug 1768 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland 6,94,225.,345.,346.,347 Margaret was born in 1750 in Ormiston, Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland345,347 and died on 6 Apr 1837 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland,6,225 at age 87.

Scottish statesman, was the eldest son of Sir John Mackenzie, Bart., of Tarbat (d. 1654), and belonged to the same family as the earls of Seaforth. In 1654 he joined the rising in Scotland on behalf of Charles II. and after an exile of six years he returned to his own country and took some part in public affairs after the Restoration. In 1661 he became a lord of session as Lord Tarbat, but having been concerned in a vain attempt to overthrow Charles II.’s secretary, the earl of Lauderdale, he was dismissed from office in 1664. A period of retirement followed until 1678 when Mackenzie was appointed lord justice general of Scotland; in 1681 he became lord clerk register and a lord of session for the second time, and from 1682 to 1688 he was the chief minister of Charles II. and James II. in Scotland, being created viscount of Tarbat in 1685. In 1688, however, he deserted James and soon afterwards made his peace with William III., his experience being very serviceable to the new government in settling the affairs of Scotland. From 1692 to 1695 Tarbat was again lord clerk register, and having served for a short time as a secretary of state nuder Queen Anne he was created earl of Cromarty in 1703. He was again lord justice general from 1704 to 1710. He warmly supported the union between England and Scotland, writing some pamphlets in favour of this step, and he died on the 17th of August 1714. Cromarty was a man of much learning, and among his numerous writings may be mentioned his Account of the conspiracies by the earls of Gowry and R. Logan (Edinburgh, 1713).

The earl’s grandson George, 3rd earl of Cromarty (c. 1703— I 766), succeeded his father John, the 2nd earl, in February 1731. In 1745 he joined Charles Edward, the young pretender, and he served with the Jacobites until April 1746 when he was taken prisoner in Sutherlandshire. He was tried and sentenced to death, but he obtained a conditional pardon although his peerage was forfeited. He died on the 28th of September 1766.
This earl’s eldest son was John Mackenzie, Lord Macleod (1727—f 789), who shared his father’s fortunes in ‘745 and his fate in 1746. Having pleaded guilty at his trial Macleod was pardoned on condition that he gave up all his rights in the estates of the earldom, and he left England and entered the Swedish army. In this servicehe rose to high rank and was made Count Cromarty. The count returned to England in 1777 and was successful in raising, mainly among the Mackenzies, two splendid battalions of Highlanders, the first of which, now the Highland Light Infantry, served under him in India. In 1784 he regained the family estates and he died on the 2nd of April 1789. Macleod wrote an account of the Jacobite rising of 1745, and also one of a campaign in Bohemia in which he took part in 1757; both are printed in Sir W. Fraser’s Earls of Cromartie (Edinburgh, 1876).

Macleod left no children, and his heir was his cousin, Kenneth Mackenzie (d. 1796), a grandson of the 2nd earl, who also died childless. The estates then passed to Macleod’s sister, Isabel (1725—1801), wife of George Murray, 6th Lord Elibank. In 1861 Isabel’s descendant, Anne (f829—1288), wife of George, 3rd duke of Sutherland, was created countess of Cromartie with remainder to her second son Francis (1852—1893), who became earl of Cromartie in 1888. In 1895, two years after the death of Francis, his daughter Sibell Lilian (b. 1878) was granted by letters patent the title of countess of Cromartie.
