Clan Gunn 'Chiefs'
The Crowner is at the bottom.
It’s slightly – but importantly - different in the 1868 tree
- George Gunn the Crowner slain by the Keiths at St Tears Chapel about the year (1478 on draft tree)
- James The Chiefs took the patronymic of McHamish
- William
- William II
- John of Navidale
- Alexander of Navidale + Killearnan
- Donald of Killearnan married a daughter of Major Sutherland of Torball (?)
- Alexander of Badenloch Captain Militia + one of Sutherland married 1st Miss Mackay of Kirtomy (2nd?) Anne Rose of Loth .
- William Lieut 71 Regt 1st son by second wife and Morrison 2nd son Lieut 71 Regt. died in Gibraltar

This is the top part of the tree; the very bottom of it shows'William Gunn the II of that name' half circle, which repeats at the top of the following image which is immediately below.
George Gunn, Crowner is at the base.
1. George Gunn the Crowner slain by the Keiths at St St Tayre’s Chapel
2. James Gunn the Crowner’s eldest son
3. William Gunn (Cattaig 1517)
4. Alexander Gunn married the 3rd daughter of McKay of Farr 1570
5. William Gunn the II of that name ( ??? 1601)
6. John Gunn of Navidale
7. Alexander Gunn of Navidale is said to have married a daughter of Donald 1st Lord Reay
8. Donald of Killearnan married a daughter of Major Sutherland of Torball (?)
9. Alexander Gunn Captain of Militia one of Sutherland married 1st Miss Mackay of Kirtomy 1745 ? (2nd?) Anne Rose of Loth . 1764 (awkward to read)
10. Alexander Gunn died in the Dutch Service without issue (and then a scrawl Col. Wm. 1782)
11. Circles to one side from 9 Alexander Gunn, for William 71 Regt. 1st son by 2nd marriage was killed in India 1780, Morrison 71 Regt. 2nd son. Died in Gibraltar.
Overall the trees show little difference with most of the normal views of the 'Chief' line, but I do like that the 1868 Chart shows William and Morrison’s older brother Alexander (Dutch Service) being a Chief for a while. That is normally not considered. In the first tree, two Williams in a row is unusual. Overall the 1868 tree is basically the Watten line of descent as given by Mark Rugg Gunn (p. 165).
The main point is the accuracy of this line adds support to what it says elsewhere.
As I have said before, the idea that all knowledge about the Gunn Chiefs is known and nothing new will ever turn up is just wrong.
