John Mackinnon was the witness for Kilpheder who spoke at Lord Napier's Commission in Lochboisdale on 28 May 1883. We find him, aged 45, at Kilpheder with his wife Flora (40) and children Alexander (8), John (6), Flora (4) and Colin (1), as well as Flora's mother Cathrin Mcintyre (78). She is referred to as an annuitant.
By 1891, the family is quoted as being at 1 South Lochboisdale; Cathrin Mcintyre has turned into Catherine Campbell, aged 99. A decade later, the family is back at Kilpheder. John is 62, Flora is aged 60, and their children are named as Alexander (27), Colin (20) and Christy (16).
The 1861 census displays John as living with his parents Alexander (70) and Mary (52) at Kilpheder. He is aged 20 by then.
John Mackinnon passed away on 18 September 1911 at the age of 77. He was suffering from stomach cancer and heart disease. John's parents were Alexander and Mary (nee Walker). His death was reported by his son John.
