| The following is partly supported (and partly contradicated) by 'Caithness Family History' (John Henderson, 1884, 'The Traills of Castlehill and Rattar', p229+). Henderson identifies James as "first of Quendal" and shows him as father of James of Quendal, George, first of Hobbister, & James of Sanday. George is shown as father of James (d 1756) and the George who married Jean Murray. | |||||||||||||||
