| PEDIGREE OF JOHN SINCLAIR, ESQUIRE OF BARROCK |
Showing his right of succession to the
Baronetcy of Dunbeath, conferred on James Sinclair of Dunbeath
by Patent from Queen Anne, under Sign Manual, dated at Windsor, 12 October 1701
| Note - It is recorded in Douglas' Baronetage that George (of Mey), third son of George, fourth Earl of Caithness, married Margaret, daughter of william, seventh Lord Forbes, and that they had three sons and three daughters, the THIRD son being Alexander Sinclair of Latheron, of whom the Sinclairs of Dunbeath and Latheron, of Stempster, of Brabster, and of Barrock, are descended. the present Pedigree goes, therefor, no further back than this Alexander Sinclair of Latheron, the common ancestor of all these families, though it may be mentioned that William, the eldest brother of the said Alexander bacame Sir Wm. Sinclair of Mey, the ancestor of the present Earl of Caithness, and that John, the second brother, who succeeded to the estates of Dunbeath, etc., was created a Baronet in 1631, but as the patent, which is not to be found on record, is stated by Douglas to have been the male heir of his body, the title became extinct on his death without issue. He was succeeded in his estates by his nephew, William Sinclair of Latheron and Dunbeath, the eldest son of the said Alexander Sinclair of Latheron, with whom this pedigree commences. |

Note - From the above Pedigree (dating from the creation of the title in 1704) it will be seen that the present Sir John Sinclair (Barrock House) is sixth Baronet of Dunbeath. the estate of Dunbeath, from which Sir John only takes title, has been in the possession of various hands. As related in the body of this work, it became the property of Lord Forbes early n the seventeenth century. He sold it, in 1624, to sir John Sinclair of Geanies, in Ross-shire, second son of George Sinclair of Mey. Sir John left the property of Dunbeath to his nephew, son of his brother Alexander of Latheron: and it remained in this family until purchased, about the middle of last century, by William Sinclair of Freswick, whose son John (Sheriff of Caithness) entailed it. | No. 1 John Sinclair now of Barrock, the Claimant |
