[11599] Copy of booklet from Frank Fox, 229 Belfast Road, Ballynahinch, county Down, No Ireland BT248UP states: "Of Jane, the only daughter of James, of Tullywest, of whom we know anything, we have a relic also--a sampler which she gave to her grandniece Mary McKee McCune, and which is now owned by Miss Eliza McCune, of Woodlawn, Beaver County, Pa. The sampler bears her name and its date thus: 'Jane McKee, her sampler, ended Aprile 1761.' From the date it is probable that Jane was one of the youngest children. She married a Mr. Oliphant, who was a stucco worker in Belfast, where he acquired a comfortable fortune, but had no family. When he gave up work he left the city and occupied a house on the farm of James McKee, his wife's nephew. Both husband and wife seem to have been most lovable in character and disposition, and they thus overcame the prejudice which existed against him as being a Scotchman and as only a hand-worker, while the McKees were farmers. When James built or repaires (?) his house, 'Uncle Oliphant' offers his services as a plasterer and, by the loving exercise of his art, so beautified the house as to make it superior in appearance to any other of its class in that community. The Oliphant cottage also and its surroundings were made so beautiful as to be an Eden, a 'joy forever' in the memory of the McKee children."

FHL Caithness Family History 941.13 D2h pg 61 states he was created a night and was styled Sir William of Cadboll. He married in 1600 Katharine Ross. It has been supposed that Sir William was created a baronet, but this is doubtful - in the Great Seal charters of 1623 and 1636 he is mentioned as "Miles" only.
"In 1595 a mutiny broke out among the scholars and gentlemen's sons attending the High School of Edinburgh, arising from a dispute with the magistrates as to their vacation. They laid in provisions in the schoolroom, manned the same, and took in arms with powder and bullets; and refused all entrance to masters or magistrates until their claims were conceded. After a day passed in this manner, the Council resolved on strong measures, and a posse of officers, headed by Bailie John Macmoran, proceeded to the school, and failing to persuade the scholars to surrender, attempted to prize open the doors. The scholars, finding no attention paid to their threats, to 'put a pair of bullets through the best of their cheeks,' unless they desisted, 'one Sinclair, the Chancellor of Caithness' son, presented a gun from a window, direct opposite to the bailies' faces, boasting them and calling them 'buttery carles.' Off goeth the charged gun, pierced John Macmoran through his head, and presently killed him, so that he fell backward straight to the ground without speech at all.' The culprit was William, afterwards Sir William Sinclair of Mey; but in the end he and seven other youths implicated got clear off."
