Colin Mackenzie was born around 1745 possibly in Rogart or one school of thought suggests Strathnaver, Reay. In Rogart he is associated with Achvellie, Acheilidh, Ardchue and Inchoraig, which I feel sure are the same place.
We do not know where Barbara was born.
The 1812 list of Rogart people shows Colin Mackenzie living at Achvellie. Colin paid three pounds eighteen shillings rent for his croft.
In an 1814 Summons of Removal issued by the Countess to tenants in the parish of Rogart it states that Kenneth Mackenzie (son of Colin) was in Ardachu and that his mother, Barbara Gordon, was also. No mention of Colin. This puts his date of death between 1812-1814. This removal did not take effect (Sutherland Papers, NAS).
Colin and Barbara had the following children:
KENNETH MACKENZIE born 16 October 1771 Inchoraig, Acheilidh, Rogart - married Mary Jenny
CHRISTIAN MACKENZIE born 16 October 1771 Inchoraig - married William Grant
ELIZABETH MACKENZIE born circa 1780 – pre 1803 married John Grant
CATHERINE MACKENZIE born 1787 Ardchue, Rogart – pre 1812 married Hugh Mackay
