Notes |
- Duncan Bane became the 1st Bane "Laird of Tulloch." He married in 1512 and received from his mother some property at Tulloch. His wife was a daughter of Hector Roy Mackenzie, the 1st of Gairloch, through whom also he probably received some propeperty. In 1542, King James V granted him some further lands in Tulloch and elsewhere which had belonged to his great-uncle, Farquhar Oure, whose son and previous heir had died; this apparently included Tulloch Castle. In 1553, the adjoining lands of Davochcarte (the present Dochcarty), were obtained from the Munros. He died ca. 1559, leaving issue:
Alexander, b. ca. 1515, his successor; two younger sons, John and William; a natural son, Ronald, b. ca. 1518; two daughters.
Duncan's brother, William, was taken by his employer to Papigo; met a girl named Mariot; went back to Papigo later, got work there, married her, and a son, William, was born about 1528. He died ca. 1538, and his widow married Hugh Groat in 1540. At the same time, Hugh and Mariota Bane, his spouse, granted by charter to young William Bane in Papigo the whole of the field called Stemster.
