Difficulties

In FES there are a number of ministers by the name of Bayne, said to be descendants of the Baynes of Tulloch, Dingwall, Ross and Cromarty. The lairds of Tulloch are well known and there are a number of ministers connected with them. The problem is how to fit into the Tulloch tree the other families who claim a connection.

Here p.4, there is a family tree showing the lairdship of Tulloch. There seems to have been a dearth of male heirs, for the lairdship passes from Kenneth, the 6th of Tulloch, through his father’s cousins, to Kenneth’s 2nd cousin. This suggests that the relationship of the ministers in this line to the Tulloch family was fairly remote: otherwise as close male heirs they would have inherited the lairdship. But the evidence is confusing. There are several difficulties.

(1) On the one hand, the above tree says that the nearest male heir to Kenneth Bayne, 6th of Tulloch, in 1719 was his father’s cousin: John, 7th of Tulloch. On the other hand, FES, Vol.7, p.34 refers to Donald Bayne, who is described as a son of Sir Donald Bayne, 5th of Tulloch, who was a minister and who was still alive in 1736. Why wasn’t he first in line before John, 7th of Tulloch? Was he illegitimate? Or is FES wrong? Well, the answer is actually given in FES, Vol.8, p.659 where a correction is made: this man is actually a son of Alexander Bayne, baillie of Dingwall.

(2) Again, on the one hand, FES, Vol.7, p.34 speaks of John Bayne, minister of Dingwall, as the son of John of the Tulloch family. Genealogical manuscript notes in the National Records of Scotland, as well as written sources mentioned there, refer to him as son of John, the Laird of Tulloch. On the other hand, John the 7th Laird of Tulloch is said to have had no issue; and if he was in fact the father of the minister, why didn’t the minister succeed to the title? MacKinnon informs us that according to his descendants, John Bayne, minister of Dingwall, was the son of John, 7th of Tulloch. And he adds: “it is not known if [John, 7th of Tulloch] was married or not”. So once again an illegitimacy is a possible explanation of the difficulty. But you can’t invoke illegitimacies to explain every genealogical difficulty.

(3) There are two ministers, brothers, Ronald and Kenneth Bayne. Ronald was born in 1755 and Kenneth in 1767. They were both said to have been from the Tulloch family: see here. They are the sons of “John Bayne, Dingwall”. We are therefore looking for a John Bayne, Dingwall, of an appropriate age to have been the father of these men.

The obvious candidate is John Bayne, who was born in 1720, according to FES, Vol.7, p.34, the son of John Bayne, the minister. This is an attractive solution, but it seems strange to me that a tradition of a distant relationship with the Tulloch family has survived, but the fact: if it is a fact: that their grand-father was a minister has not survived.

The situation is complicated by the fact that Ronald Bayne is also referred to as “of Ardmeanach” The question is: what does “Ardmeanach” mean? It was an old name for the whole of the Black Isle area of Ross and Cromarty; and it refers also to an area in Rosemarkie Parish there. But I can’t find any reference so far to any “laird of Ardmeanach”.

There is another John Bayne of this family of the right age to have been the father of these men. As indicated in the Bayne Tree, there was a John Bayne born to Ronald Bayne, 3rd of Knockbain and baptised in Dingwall in 1684. He had a son, also John Bayne, who is said to have married Helen MacRae (see below). Could he have been the father of the ministers? That is entirely speculative: but it does indicate the problem that there are men who claimed to be of Tulloch stock: and we just don’t know enough to be able to fit them in for any certainty.

But if anyone knows what “of Ardmeanach” means, it would be a help.

(4) The view which MacKinnon propounds, following his sources, that John, son of John Bayne of Knockbain, married Helen MacRae does not seem credible. Helen’s father married in 1611; when Helen was born we don’t know. But it is not credible that she married a man whose father was born in 1684. MacKinnon’s sources were: Highland Papers, 1, 228; and the History of the Clan MacRae, p.68.

This needs more research, but here are the ministerial ramifications of the family as I have them at the moment.

Donald Bayne (d.>1736), minister of Dingwall, Ross and Cromarty (FES, Vol.7, p.34) is said to have been a son of Sir Donald Bayne, 5th of Tulloch, but this is not likely and one source places him elsewhere: see A.1.1.1.2.1. John Bayne, 2nd of Pitcairlie; and FES, Vol.8, p.659 corrects the statement that he is son of Sir Donald Bayne and makes his the son of Alexander Bayne, baillie of DIngwall.
