A list of rebels, in mainland Argyll, was compiled at Inveraray Court House in the
fall of 1685.  Done by parish, it included 28 McG's.  The most serious McGilvray
offenders forfeited * their stock on 12 Oct 1685.  Although these all should have
been on the initial list it was not possible to identify each one.  Some spellings may
have been missed and some were not included such as, McIlleriavich, McIlrivich,
McIlrash, McIlvrion, McGillvib, McGilborid, McOlvrid, McIlbryd, McIlbreid,
McIlborid, McIlerane, McIllevin, McIllevoyll, McIclerich, McIenvoell,
McIlshynie, McIlverchar, McIlguirme, McIlluy, McOlvei, McOlvea, McIlvuy,
McOlva, McIlvey and McVorish.

A list of 13 fencible McGilvray men (F) (i.e. ages 16 - 60) in mainland Argyll
was drawn up 26 May 1692.  This often included more than one man per household
and sometimes overlapped with the above list.  However, it is unlikely that the men
who were known rebels (R), only 7 years before, would be desired or so listed.
Spellings are once again very problematic; such as McIlvernock, who were very common.

It is debatable if these totals can be combined but it appears there were 39 separate men
or about 30 households.
