MARY CARMICHAEL
Parents

Note: There is a marriage 22 Jan 1820 of Duncan Buchanan of Muckairn to Mary Carmichael of Lismore in 1820 which ties in with Mary's birth abt.1820, but this would make the first three children illegitimate. The other distinct possibility is that the first three are a different family.
