The Chisholms of Muckerach, now of Strathglass. page 168
The first of this family, the representative of which suceeded to the Strathglass estates and the Chiefship of the clan in 1858, was,
I. Alexander Chisholm, of Mucherach, of whom so much has already been said in connection with the forfeiture and restoration of the estates after Sheriffmuir.
He was second son of John Chisholm, XX of Strathglass, commonly called "an Siosal Ruadh" and immediate younger brother of Roderick, the twenty first chief, in whose person the estates had, after 1715, been forfeited to the Crown. He married his cousin, a daughter of Archibald Chisholm, of Fasnakyle, and grand daughter of Colin I. of Knockfin, with issue-
1> Archibald, his heir
2. Captain John Chisholm, of Fasnakyle, mentioned in the entail of 1777. He married a daughter of Patrick Fraser of Fingask, with issue- one son, Patrick, who died in India, unmarried, and two daughters, one of whom married Fraser of Kinmylies, and Mary, who married Colonel James Chisholm of the Royal African Corps without issue.
He wassucceeded as representative of the family by his eldest son,
II. Archibald Chisholm, of Muckerach, upon whom Alexander, the twenty-third chief, in 1777, entailed the estates, failing heirs male of his own body, and of his five sons and two brothers. He married Catherine, third daughter of John Matheson, V. of Fernaig and Attadale, with issue.
1. Roderick, his heir
2. Captain Donald Chisholm, of the 42nd Highlanders (BlacK Watch), and afterwards of the H.P. Royal Highlanders of Canada. He was twice married, with issue- two sons, the eldest of whom died unmarried in China while in the service of the well known house of Matheson, Jardine, &Co. The other died while a student at Blairs College, Aberdeenshire.
3. Alexander, who married Janet, daughter of one of the Grants of Glenmorriston, and emigrated to Nova Scotia, where he settled, in the County of Antigonish. He had issue- one son, Duncan, who was a claimant to the Chisholm estates in 1858, and died unmarried; also two daughters.
4. Catherine, who married Alexander Chisholm, farmer, Craskie, with issue-
4A) Roderick, who married Anne, daughter of John Chisholm, farmer Balnahaun, with issue- one son and several daughters.
4B) Peter, who married Helen, daughter of Colin Chisholm, farmer, Lietry, with issue.
Alexander also had three daughters
4C) Anne
4D) Mary
4E) Catherine who married William Chisholm farmer, Craskie, with issue- several sons and daughters. One of whom is Rev. Archibald Chisholm, priest at Nairn.
Archibald was succeeded, as representative of the family, by his eldest son,
III. Roderick Chisholm , who emigrated to Canadaand settled in the North West Territory, where he was engaged on the staff of the Hudson Bay Company. There he married Miss Sutherland, with issue-
1. James Sutherland Chisholm, his heir.
2. Jemima, who, on the 8th of January, 1840, married Mr Milner, a government contractor, in Kingston, Ontario.
Roderick died of cholera in Montreal, in 1832, when he was succeeded, as representative of the family by his son,
IV. James Sutherland Chisholm, who , on the death of Duncan macdonell Chisholm, XXVI. of Strathglass, unmarried, in 1858, succeeded to the estates of the family and chiefship of the clan. He was at that time employed in a mercantile house in Montreal. having secured possession of the Chisholm estates, he returnedto Canada, and there, on the 13th of November, 1861, married a relative of his own, Annie Cecilia, a daughter of Angus MacDonell, a cadet of Glengarry, by whom he had issue-
1. Roderick Donald Matheson Chisholm, his Heir.
2. Mary Isabella, who died young.
3.Louisa Jane.
4. Annie Margaret.
James Sutherland Chisholm died at Erchless Castle, Strathglass, on the 28th of May, 1885, in his eightieth year, when he was succeeded in the estates and chiefship of the clan by his only son,
V. Roderick Donald Matheson Chisholm, who was born on the 20th of September, 1862, and was thus only in his twenty third year when he entered into possession. he died unmarried at March hall, near Edinburgh, on the 24th of April, 1887, and was interrred in the family burying ground, near Erchless Castle. His father, who was the last heir male mentioned in it, having barred the entail, Roderick was able to leave the estates, with a rental of 10, 000 pounds a year, by trust disposition to his mother, who is now in possession. Annie Cecilia MacDonell.
On the death of Roderick Donald Matheson Chisholm, un married, in 1887, the last male heir of the Muckerach family and the last male representative of all those mentioned in the entail of 1777 died in his person, when Theodore Chisholm, now residing, near Struy, on Lord Lovat's estate, became male heir and chief of the ancient Clan Chisholm. Theodore's family, and those of knockfin and Kinneries, were excluded from the entail, but even if they had not, any rights they might have inherited would have been barred by the action of the late James Sutherland chisholm when he disentailed the estates. It is however, doubtful if any rights of succession remained in these families as heirs male, even in the absence of the provision that the estates were to revert to the entailers nearest heirs female when all the male heirs of the others mentioned in the deed had become extinct; for they all broke off from the main stem prior to the forfeiture in the person of Roderick, the twenty fi!
rst chief, for the part he took in the rising of 1715. It has therefore been maintained that any rights of succession which,in thee absence of the forfeiture and the entail, would have accrued to Theodore or to any of the other remainingmale representatives of the family are entirely barred, quite independently of the provision in favour of heirs female in the deed of 1777, and of the disentail by the late James Sutherland Chisholm. This is however, a question more for the lawyer than the historian.
John died in MS and Elizabeth was either from GA or AL. Can't seem to find
too much more on them except for their marriage in Amite CO, MS in 1816....

Hi there
There are two females named ISABELL CHISHOLM who married two males named
JOHN MCRAE and both couples lived in Ontario. I have the following
information on ISABELL CHISHOLM but I may be talking about two separate
ones. I do know that the descendant chart at the bottom is mine as Finlay b.
1817 is my ancestor. Also, the paragraph on the mourning ring relates to my
line. The others I cannot prove and would appreciate any assistance please.
Also, I am not sure where JOHN MCRAE her busband was born.
Here is what I have :
ISABELL CHISHOLM born September 13, 1788 had a sister Mrs. Lewis Travers of
Quebec City. Isabell's parents were ALEXANDER CHISHOLM and MARGARET FRASER.
ISABELL CHISHOLM applied for land grant March 18, 1808 as daughter of a
United Empire Loyalist daughter. Her father was listed on the land grant as
ALEXANDER CHISHOLM.
ISABELL CHISHOLM born September 13, 1788, in Quebec, Canada. Isabell had a
"mourning ring" dated 1812 with her initials - possibly the date of death of
her father. Ring was passed onto her daughter Isobel who married Long
Donald McRae, who passed it to her daughter Isobel who did not marry. She
gave it to Isabel who was the daughter of David Burns MacRae, editor of the
Regina Leader Post. Dates are from St. Andrews Presbyterian church records,
Williamstown, Ont.
ISABELL CHISHOLM married JOHN MCRAE and they had the following children.

Dear List, I found this information in the Louisa County Historical Magazine.
I hope that it may be of help to someone. the title is garland Waddy and
contributed by Claudia A. Chisholm
Garland Thompson Waddy Married Martha "Patsy" Chisholm (1st) wife.
In 1826, garland Purchased for $2000.00, 453 acres of land on the Locust
creek which joined his mother's property and that of his sister and
brother-in-law, Edmund C. Goodwin from William and Ann Day Cooke. Prior to
this transaction, the property had been owned by William Lipscomb who
purchased it from John Dickinson.
Patsy Waddy died five years later leaving her husband with small children.
The cause of her death or where she is buried is not known. the quaint home
that she and her husband shared for a brief time is still standing, occupied
and in good repair. It is located off Route 655 near Bethany Christian church.
Garland and Patsy had five children(known), four of whom married children of
Robert and Judith Goodwin of spring gardens. Sarah (Sally) married Semple
goodwin:anthony T. married Sarah Catherine Goodwin: Thomas C. married 1st
Sarah Graves, 2nd Lena Paul: William (Buck) married the widow of his brother,
Anthony T.,Sarah Catherine Goodwin Waddy: Martha married Robert Woodson
Goodwin.
Martha Patsy Dabney Chisholme waddy was the daughter of Thomas Chisholm and
his first wife Sara Dabney. Sarah had a brother, cornelius //Dabney Chisholme
born November 8, 1789, who married Sarah Elizabeth Swift, daughter of
Cleavers and Ann Mills Swift. cornelius was a solider in the 7th regiment,
War of 1812. A short time after the war, he and his family moved to South
Carolina (Chester).
Patsy's sisters were: Mary A. Chisholme who married in 1808, Stephan Crank:
Susanna C. Chisholme who married in 1806, Suprey Chisholm Possibly a relation
(son of Walter)
after Patsy's mother, Sarah Dabney Chisholme died, her father married
secondly, Elizabeth Gray, daughter of Henry Gray of Goochland co. in 1805.
the had six known children probably all born in SC, Thomas H. G.
Chisholm; Wm. D. Chisholme, Elizabeth Jane; Sarah David; Theo. Harriet;
Phoebe Maltilda chisholm.
Thomas Chisholme disposed of his Louisa holdings shortly after his marriage
in 1816 and moved to the Catawaba River area of Chester District in South
Carolina near cornelius Dabney.
Patsy Chisholme and Garland Waddy was married July 24, 1815
I hope that this will help someone.
