Welcome Iain,
Good on you for your work.
A long family mystery is where my 5 great grandfather Ludovic Macdonald served. He was born about 1750 and from Uig, Skye. Perfect age for the 76th Macdonald Highlanders in the Revolution.
Family lore is that he named my 4 great grandfather Gray Macdonald after an officer he served with and admired...just no clue where, when, who he served with.
So, do appreciate you bringing the era alive.
