^1C ,--,-. ETC I PREFACE.

In presenting this Genealogy to the descendants of the Kincardineshire Branch of the Nicol family, I have to thank many members for their kind help in correcting the printed draft lately circulated.

My thanks are specially due to the Rev. James Smith, B.D., of St. George's-in-the-West Parish, Aberdeen, for his diligent searchings of old Registers in Edinburgh, etc., and for his most kind and ungrudging help.

With regard to the more ancient history I have been assisted by Skene's book, " The Highlanders of Scotland," published in 1837. This publication was awarded the prize offered by the Highland Society of London for the best History of the Highland Clans. Much of Skene's information was derived from MSS. the property of the Faculty of Advocates, Edinburgh, and in particular the MS. believed to have been written in 1450, and which has the date upon it— 1467.

As errors may have crept in, I should be greatly obliged by their being pointed out to me. Should any new matters of interest in connection with the family be discovered, it is probable that a further addition of this Genealogy will be printed. W. E. Nicol. Ballogie, July, 1909.

The Nicol family are undoubtedly descendants of the Macnical or Macn'icail Clan, who were descended from the ancient Gaelic tribe (the Northern Picts), the earliest inhabitants of the district of Ness, on the north-west coast of Scotland, off the Minch.

Skene, in his "Table of the Descent of the High- land Clans," shows the Macnical Clan as one of the eighteen great clans. They were under the Maormor- ship or Earldom of Ness, Macnicol being Chief of the Clan. From Skene's account of the Macleod and

Macnical Clans, it appears that on the death of the last Macnicol chief, his daughter and heiress married Torquil Macleod, a younger son of the Chief Macleod of Glenelg or Harris. By this marriage the Macleods acquired possession of Edderachylis, Duirnes, Assint, and Coygash, the lands previously owned by the Macnicols.

There is little doubt that after the death of the Chief, the Macnicals lost adhesion, and ceased to exist as a clan.

The Nicols to which this Genealogy refers came from the County of Sutherland. After frequent and severe fights with the Macintoshes, they, with others of the clan, moved southwards about 1600, many settling in Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire, others going as far south as Glasgow. William Nicol.

From a memorandum book kept by Dr. Wm. Nicol from 1 Jan., 1802 to 30 June, 1804, now in the possession of Sir Dyce Duckworth, some insight is got into his habits and character. He was evidently a very sociable, hospitable person, dining and supping out very frequently, whether accompanied by his wife or " not is not recorded. An entry often appears : Had company to dinner." He was fond of a game of cards, his losses or gains, varying from 6d. to 3s., are entered in 2J years he was a loser of Cs. 3d. He took much interest in county business, attending County and District Road Meetings, Excise and Small Debts

Courts ; he was a Commissioner of Income and Property Tax, a Captain of Volunteers from 30 May, 1797 to 1 May, 1802, when the Volunteers were discharged, by order of the Lord-Lieutenant. Later he was a Captain in the Militia. Some curious entries which this memorandum book contains will be found in the Appendix. :

He was educated in Aberdeen. In 1810 he went to Bombay on board the E. I. Co.'s Ship Carmarthen as surgeon. Settled in Bombay 1820. Founded the firm of Wm. Nicol & Co., in Bombay, in 1821. Left Bombay in 1828. Retired from Wm. N. & Co. 31 July, 1839. Was M.P. for Dover 1859 to 1865. J. P. and D.L. for Kincardineshire. 19

He was Director of several Companies, amongst others the London and County Bank from Feb., 1856, to Nov., 1878, and was instrumental in raising it to its present high position.

In 1841 his mother-in-law wrote of him: "He is truly amiable and worthy of much respect ; he may well be termed the Peacemaker." These words equally applied to him in later life—he was the dearest old man. Heavy troubles came upon him in his old age, through no fault of his own. He never complained or said a harsh word about anyone.

He was buried in Brompton Cemetery, and his wife was buried in her mother's grave in St. Andrew's Scottish Church, Rodney Street, Liverpool.
