(SRO CS54/22/51 and 52)  


A total of 44 McGilvray men were called to surrender their arms
after the collapse of the 1715 Rebellion.  The 31 from Mull
compares to the 34 in 1675.  As with the earlier list, it appears
these names are likely those of rent paying tenants rather than the
complete area fencible population (ages 16-60).  The list was
predetermined (from rent lists?), along with their place of abode,
and they were checked off as they appeared.  It is also considered
unlikely that cottars and crofters would own guns.  However, some
of those listed had no arms and one is called old and poor; so it
may in fact, be close to a census of fencibles.


The following McGilvrays surrendered their arms at Mangarie
(Mingary Castle on the southwest coast of Ardnamurchan) 16 Apr
1716.  The relatively few McGilvrays on this list, compared to the
following one for Mull, indicates very few non-Mull McGilvrays
lived in Argyll rebel areas.  Secure areas included Islay, Jura and
Lorne.
