Notes

!SOURCE: "The Morrisons of Skinidin", THE CLAN MACLEOD MAGAZINE, II, No. 17 (1952), pp. 63-66. Norman, Dr. Alexander Morrison's eldest son (5th in direct descent from Donald Morrison, the Skye progenitor of the family), was an Ensign in his father's company at the battle of Moore's Creek. After the battle he was allowed to return home, but in April 1781, having shown sympathy with the "Royal Cause," he was forced to leave North Carolina, and made his way back to Britain, where he joined his father. From extant letters, it would appear that his father sent Norman back to his mother and sisters in North Carolina in order to get them "under British protection." On arrival in North Carolina, he began teaching, but what happened to him afterwards is not known. All we know is that he and his three brothers remained in North Carolina, and possibly some of the Morrison families there now may be descended from him or his brothers.
