Trying to find out more about Wm Sutherland who had 6 sons at Badbea with his wife Helen Bruce, whom had married in Watten . We have found Their 6 sons were David born 1770; Kenneth, born c 1772, Robert around 1773/4 and Malcolm born around 1775/6. Also James and William. Malcolm drowned when his boat foundered while returning to Badbea with a boat load of wood.

We want to know what happened in Watten to make them have to live at Badbea.

If anyone has more information on this family before Helen died and William remarried, please do let me know.
