The info in this file comes primarly from a manuscript in the National Archives of Scotland in the Cromartie Estate
papers. It, along with the 1825 and 1826 lists, is part of a bundle of
papers identified as GD 305/2/557 A historian in Scotland, Malcolm Bangor-Jones ([email protected]), has obtained and mailed
me a photocopy.
The papers are copyright till 31 December 2039 by the Earl of Cromartie. Alan McKenzie ([email protected]), the Earl's Lieutenant in Canada and editor of the Clan MacKenzie Canada
newsletter, has contacted the Earl and received permission and encouragement to reproduce the list in database form on the
internet, this file.
The list was supposed to record every male in the Parish from 16 to 60, but clearly from other records there are people
missing.
Surnames in the list used the form "Mc", rather than "Mac", however under the letter "c" was a stroke over a double dot, a
common contraction at that time indicating a dropped vowell or syllable, so for this file "Mac" is used.
Likewise "Roderick" is often "Rodk", and "Donald" is "Dond", with double dots under the last letter, and in such common
cases I have expanded the names. All "Murdo"s I expand to "Murdoch".
Reasons for exemption included supporting three or more children, unfortunately for genealogists all with such an
exemption were simply recorded as "3 Children".
Here is a surname breakdown of the 1827 Lochbroom Militia List;

The list was headed;

The list has nine columns;

as Under 30, right as Above 30 ]Infirmity or Unfitness for Service

Remarks
Many of the places have only a few names listed, so creating a jump table based on communities has not been used in this
file, instead the names are presented simply in the order they appear.
However, as each person listed was given a consecutive number, I have used that as an identifier, and when some other file
refers to a person as being on this list, the referral will use that number. For instance, a link to my gt-gt-grandfather,
Donald MacDonald, will say he is in the 1825 Militia list at 25militia-167, and in this list at
27militia-451
