John Gunn of Navidale c.1615-c.1660
John Gunn of Navidale, start at the second circle up on the LHS.
Okay, this line I know as I come from it.
· John Gunn of Navidale had a second son George. The first son line is shown going up the left hand side of the image.
· George had John (possibly also Donald and Robert- given in the rough chart))
· John had three sons
o 1st son George
o 2nd son Alexander
o 3rd son Hugh
· 1st son George married (Achnapster?) Miss Macleod Dalnaglain?
· This 1st son George had Hector Merchant Thurso married a sister of Captain Hugh Mackay Alibrig?
· This Hector had Lieut. George R.N. who married a daughter of Macdonald of Skabish? He was factor for the Duke of Sutherland
· This Hector had
o Donald factor for the Duke of Co???l dwi?
o Hector (present Chief) at Accra India.
Now, on the draft copy there is a sketch line for Donald (italics above). It goes
· Donald had John
· John had Rob?
· Rob had two sons
o John (and he had son Donald Balligil)
o William (and son Robert in Baligil?)
Going back to the main tree. (the following relates to my tree which I have placed earlier on this blog)

· Alexander had

Now, as said, before, the idea many have that all descendants of Gunn 'Chief' lines have gone is just wrong. I'm here as are many others...
