From Joe Macdonald (email, 11 January, 2018): “He [Hugh] was married to Catherine (MacDonald) and was the father of Rev. Andrew McGillivray who was at Lismore. Hugh's father was Andrew McGillivray - one of the three brothers who settled the area. The other two were Alexander and Angus. Hugh's brother was John - father of two priests Rev. Alexander and Rev. Ronald (Sagart Arisaig). I sent an email about his will to you last November 15. Angus's son John McGillivray was one of the executors of the will.
