2?? Omitted in the Visitation here for apparent reasons was:
George Buchannan b 1588 Gartincaber Perth d 1629 Tyrone Ulster sold his lands in Blairlusk near Loch Lomond to his brother William in 1674 and moved to Tyrone County, Ireland. These were troubled times in Scotland (actually, the history of Scotland is replete with troubled times), mainly to do with the free practice of religion. It appears that our ancestors were Presbyterian and "Covenanters" that fled Scotland at this time. Historians refer to this era as the "Killing Times" when those who would not submit to the government proclaimed religion tried to practice their religion in secret, but were hunted and attacked by government soldiers.
