[1] GD50/184/84/5 paper has the following: Gregor a descendant of Coll the son of Rob Roy who lived about the braes of Balquhidder had a son Donald.
As Margaret, wife of Coll, came from Coiletir at the head of Glen Falloch in Killin parish, in the absence of birth immediately subsequent to the mariage, recorded in Balquhidder, it is reasonable to assume that either Coll and Margaret were living as a couple at Coiletir, or that Margaret may have gone to her mother's home to have her first child. Unfortunately there is a gap in the Killin parish record of births from November 1717 until October 1727. Later baptisms for Coll and Margaret are recorded in Balquhidder in 1725 and 1732.

[7] Coll died before 18 December 1735 when his Testament was confirmed. His executors were Margaret Campbell, his widow, and Robert Murray of Glencarnock, as principal parties and on behalf of Coll's creditors Alexander Stewart, writer in Stirling, and James Alexander, saddler there. There is a second confirmation in November 1736 and all four are referred to in their capacity as executors qua creditors. Neither document refers to a relationship between Margaret and Robert of Glencarock, nor between Robert and Coll, and, instead, he is simply acting in the capacity of a creditor. However, I think this may be circumstantial evidence that Robert was actually Coll's brother in law and taking on the role of executor assisting his sister Margaret.
