  General Notes:

"The Genealogical Records of the Family prior to the era of Finla Mor, vei\\ almoll entirely on legends which scarcely merit to rank as traditions, they are so improbable and so varioufly narrated." (Preface)


"Shaw of Rothimerchus, lineally descended from the most ancient Thanes and Earls of Fife, had a son called FARQUHAR, who settled in the braes of Mar. His sons, as was the custom of these early times, were called FARQUHARSONS or sons of Farquhar ; and hence, from the sirname of the family of this Farquhar, all the Farquharsons in Scotland are descended." (Genealogy of the Clan Farquharson)
