Strathendrick, and its inhabitants from early times

322 HIS TOR Y OF S TRA THENDRICK
An action was raised by Lillias Bald, daughter of Lillias Buchanan, against
Jean Buchanan of Ross, for reduction of the entail by Robert Buchanan, so far
as the lands of Drummikill and Cameron were concerned, on the ground that
neither Robert nor his nephew Archibald had been properly vested in these
lands. This having been decided by the Court of Session in favour of Lillias
Bald, and the appeal to the House of Lords having been dismissed 3rd April
1787, these lands fell to the said Lillias as heir of line to her grandfather,
William Buchanan, Younger, of Ross and Drummikill. 1
Lillias Buchanan, eldest daughter of William Buchanan, Younger, of Ross
and Drummikill, married John Bald, and died 6th August 1779, 2 leaving one
daughter, the above mentioned Lillias Bald.
"Lily Bald, wife of Lieut. Bartlet, 70th Regiment," was served "Heir of
Provision General to her mother, Lily Buchanan," 8th September 1784, and to
her grandfather, William Buchanan, Younger, of Drummikill, 3rd December 1784. 3
Having successfully claimed the estates of Drummikill and Cameron, she assumed
the additional surname of Buchanan. She sold Cameron in 1809 to Hector
Macdonald Buchanan of Ross. 4 She married, first, Frederick Benjamin Doyle
Bartlet, "sometime Captain-Lieutenant in the Surrey or 70th Regiment"; 6
secondly, 21st January 1799, Angus Campbell of Polmont Bank, and died 23rd
June 1853, leaving by her second marriage an only son, Donald Campbell,
afterwards of Dunstaffnage, created a baronet in 1836, whose line is now
extinct.

John of Cameron, 2d son to Robert, Second of Drumikill." This I believe to be right, though
in the next sentence he confuses him with his son.
