St.Clair Family of Orkney

210. Isabella SINCLAIR ²³⁵ (George 43rd Earl; 5Th Sinclair Earl Of Caithness¹⁷³, John Master Of Caithness¹³⁸, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹) was born before 1620.

Isabella married John MACKAY 2nd Lord Reay,¹ son of Donald Dughall MACKAY 1st Lord Reay ¹ and Barbara MACKENZIE,¹ in 1636.²⁷² John died in 1684.

joined the Royalists, and was imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle in 1649. When Cromwell came north, every prisoner except John, 2nd Lord Reay, was released, and parliamentary forces were quartered in Tongue at Mackay's expense. He was released in December, 1650, and subsequently lived mostly in Strathnaver

211. William SINCLAIR Lord Berriedale ¹ (George 43rd Earl; 5Th Sinclair Earl Of Caithness¹⁷³, John Master Of Caithness¹³⁸, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹) was born about 1586 and died between 1639 and 1643.

1592 - Charter of the Earldom on his father's resignation
1616 - arrested at the instigation of his cousin-german, Sir James Home of Cowdenknowes.

There seems to be decided confusion about just whom this William married. The Scots Peerage, St Clair's of the Isles and Burkes Peerage all state that he married Mary/Margaret Sinclair, daughter of James Sinclair (son of Henry, 5th Lord Sinclair) AND in other places state he married Mary Sinclair, daughter of Henry, 3rd Lord Sinclair. However, given that the line of the Lords Sinclair has been fairly well documented, it seems most likely that the marriage given in reference to Margaret, daughter of James, Master of Sinclair, is the correct marriage.

William married Margaret/Mary SINCLAIR,¹ daughter of James SINCLAIR Master Of Sinclair ¹ and Isabella LESLIE,¹ ____________.¹⁶ Another name for Margaret/Mary was Margaret SINCLAIR.

St Clair's lists her as Mary, daughter of Henry, 3rd Lord Sinclair; Burkes Peerage records her as Margaret, daughter of James Sinclair, whose sons became the 6th, 7th and 8th Lord Sinclair.

212. Francis SINCLAIR Of Keiss And Northfield ¹⁵ (George 43rd Earl; 5Th Sinclair Earl Of Caithness¹⁷³, John Master Of Caithness¹³⁸, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹).

Francis married Elizabeth FRASER.,¹⁵ daughter of Andrew FRASER Lord Fraser.

213. John SINCLAIR Lt-Col. ¹ (George 43rd Earl; 5Th Sinclair Earl Of Caithness¹⁷³, John Master Of Caithness¹³⁸, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹) died in 1632 in Newmarket.

John was employed as, Lieutenant-Colonel of Munro's Regiment in the Swedish Service. ¹⁶

214. Elizabeth SINCLAIR ¹ (George 43rd Earl; 5Th Sinclair Earl Of Caithness¹⁷³, John Master Of Caithness¹³⁸, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹).

Elizabeth married George LINDSAY 14th Earl Of Crawford ¹⁵ in 1631 in Scotland.¹⁶

215. Francis SINCLAIR Of Stirkoke ¹ (George 43rd Earl; 5Th Sinclair Earl Of Caithness¹⁷³, John Master Of Caithness¹³⁸, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹) was born about 1600 in Scotland.

Difficult to determine his approximate year of birth.
1621 he fought a duel with his relative, Sir William Sinclair of Mey, which tends to indicate he was 21 or older (or at least of adult age).
In 1624 he was styled Francis Sinclair, Laird of Stirkoke, but how he came to obtain the lands of Stirkoke does not seem to ever be mentioned.

St Clair's of the Isles states that Francis Sinclair was a natural son of George (43rd Earl) and Barbara Mearns (p. 247), however Burkes Peerage states that he was a legitimate son of George and Jean Huntly.

Possibly two son's named Francis? One natural and one lawful?

There definitely appears to be two sons by the name Francis - one of Stirkoke and one of Keiss and Northfield.

216. Sir James SINCLAIR 2nd Of Murkle ¹ (James 1st Of Murkle¹⁷⁴, John Master Of Caithness¹³⁸, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹).

Sir James received a part of the lands of Ormlie in a disposition granted him by his spouse Dame Margaret Dundas. There does not appear to have been any issue from this marriage, and presumably she died prior to his second marriage in October 1634.

James married Dame Margaret DUNDAS ²⁷⁵ before 2 Sep 1626.²⁴² Margaret died about 1633.

James next married Jean STEWART,²⁴¹ daughter of William STEWART Of Burray, in Oct 1634.²⁷⁶ Jean died about 1662.

217. Francis SINCLAIR ¹ (James 1st Of Murkle¹⁷⁴, John Master Of Caithness¹³⁸, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹) was born before 1600 and died about 1635.

John's Death Details : His younger brother obtained a precept of clare as heir of John in 1634, so John must have died prior to this.

Patrick married Elizabeth McKAY,¹ daughter of John MACKAY Of Strathy And Dirlot, in 1647 in Caithness, Scotland, United Kingdom.²⁹²

233. George SINCLAIR Leith ¹ (John 2nd Of Ulbster¹⁸², William 1st Of Mey¹³⁹, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹).

John married Ann GOLDMAN,²⁹⁷ daughter of Charles GOLDMAN, after 1649. Another name for Ann was Margaret GOLDMAN.¹⁶

Ann's Marriage Details : Will for Margaret's husband probated in 1649, so presumably death was around this time.

Known to have had other issue besides John.

No source is consistent with regard to John's wife name. She is regularly called by both Ann and Margaret. - See note by Thomas Sinclair regarding this issue. He is very clear that Margaret was not the sister that married John, rather Anne was.

John next married Ann GOLDMAN,¹⁵⁴ daughter of Charles GOLDMAN, after 1649.

239. Elizabeth SINCLAIR ¹ (John 2nd Of Ulbster¹⁸², William 1st Of Mey¹³⁹, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹).

Elizabeth married William SINCLAIR 3rd Of Rattar; 1St Of Freswick,¹⁵⁹ son of James SINCLAIR Of Reaster And 2Nd Of Rattar ¹ and Janet BRUCE,¹⁵⁹ in 1642 in Caithness, Scotland, United Kingdom.¹¹⁸ William died after 1663.

1655 - witness at Sir William Sinclair of Mey's daughter, Elizabeth, christening.
1661 - acquired the lands of Freswick from Mowat of Balquhollie
Known to be alive in 1663 as he made his will that year.

240. Sir James SINCLAIR Of Canisbay & 4Th Of Mey, 1St Baronet ¹ (William 3rd Of Mey (Sir)¹⁸³, George 2nd Of Mey¹⁴⁰, George 4th Earl Caithness¹⁰⁵, John 3rd Earl Of Caithness⁶⁷, William 2nd Earl Of Caithness⁴⁵, William 1st Sinclair Earl Of Caithness; 3Rd Earl Of Orkney³⁸, 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)¹², William (Sir)¹¹, Henri¹⁰, Henri⁹, William⁸, Henri⁷, Henri³, William 'The Seemly'², Walderne¹) was born before 1603 and died on 20 Apr 1662 in Scotland.^¹⁶

This is where St Clair's picks up the Mey branch as a "Baronetical Branch".

Appears in Charters in 1635 and 1636 styled as Sir James Sinclair of Canisbay.

NB: Nick Cram-Sinclair gives his date of birth as about 1628, however, it is difficult to see how he could have been made a baronet when he was 4 years of age, nor how he could have been styled in charters dated 1635 and 1636 as Sir James Sinclair of Canisbay at 7 and 8 years of age.

Also, his mother died in 1603 making a birth year of 1628 more than a little ludicrous.

Elizabeth's Birth Details : No one seems to have any real idea when Elizabeth was born or died.

William Sinclair, whom she married, was her cousin.

Most people place this marriage as occurring 18 March 1642, however no sources are readily apparent. There is a marriage between William Sinclair and Elizabeth Sinclair recorded in Canisbay on 10 March 1657, for which there seems to be no good reason to exclude as the marriage of this couple.

St Clair's says Margaret married Sir William Dunbar of Hempriggs.

Burke's claims that this Margaret was the grandaughter of Alexander and daughter of George Sinclair and Elizabeth Cumming.

Margaret married William DUNBAR 1st Baronet, Northfield,¹ son of John DUNBAR 3rd Of Hempriggs ¹ and Anne FRASER,²⁶³ in Caithness, Scotland, United Kingdom.¹⁶ William died in 1711 in Caithness, Scotland, United Kingdom.^¹⁶

Sir William Dunbar was created first Baronet of Hempriggs in 1700 with remainder restricted to heirs-male, but on later reflection, as he had an only daughter Elizabeth but no son, and as he wished her and the children of her second marriage to succeed to his new acquired possessions, he executed an entail of his lairds in her favour and also asked Queen Anne for a new baronetcy in favour of his son-in-law. Elizabeth had married Sir Robert Gordon of Gordonstone, grandson of the historian, by whom she had seven children. After his death she married the Hon. James Sutherland, advocate, second son of the second Lord Duffus. As the children of the first marriage were already well provided for, Sir William wished the landless heirs of the second marriage to come into the succession. Accordingly, on Sir William’s death, his son-in-law was created Sir James Sutherland Dunbar of Hempriggs with remained to heirs-general. The first baronetcy passed to Sir William’s brother Robert, and still exists although now known as Northfield. Sir James Dunbar (previously Sutherland) was succeeded by his son and heir Sir William Dunbar (the couple had six children). During the lairdship of Sir William a writer in 1726 says Ackergill Tower was then "a strong tower and yet in repair and betwixt it and the sea is a good new house lately built". Bishop Forbes visited the tower in 1762; He mentions that the vaulted chamber on the ground floor was ‘then used as a kitchen and that Sir William Dunbar had cut out some large windows and was doing up the tower in a very pretty and elegant manner’.
