"Alexander Baillie married Miss Munro of Fowlis (see Note below), and had at least one daughter, Katherine, married to Malcolm Fraser, first of Culduthel, formerly styled 'in Ruthven.' His eldest son, William Baillie, married, in 1634, Isobel Forbes, daughter of Duncan Forbes, first of Culloden, then described Duncan Forbes of Bught. In the same year Alexander, William's father, gets all his lands confirmed by Royal charter. Besides his eldest son, William, Alexander Baillie had David, his second son, first of the present family of Dochfour, to whom he gave the lands of Dochcaims, by disposition dated 22nd October, 1657. His third son was Captain James Baillie, who got a charter of Knocknageal, part of Torbreck, dated 2nd July, 1639. His fourth son was named John, mentioned in 1638 and 1658. The latest date I have connected with Alexander Baillie is 1658."

Note:

This author mistakenly identifies the origins of the Catherine Munro of the older generation with the wife of the same name of the younger. William Baillie's wife was of the Foulis family of Munro, and his son Alexander's wife was of the Milntown Munros. The dates bear this out. ^{1 2 3}
