Memoirs of the Families of M'Combie and Thoms: Originally M'Intosh and M'Thomas. This
history of the McCombie family provides substantial information about a
family which long was associated with Clan Macintosh. Sometimes called
Clan M'Thomas, the McCombies settled in Glenshee by the end of the 16th
century where they intermarried with the Farquharsons and where they
entered into a bond of manrent with Lachlan Mor, 16th chief of the
McIntoshes.
The story of McCombie Mor and his encounters with the Earl
of Athole and with local injustice is at the core of this family
history, which continues with his activities as a royalist during the
civil wars of the 17th century, his feud with the Farquharsons, the
Raid of Crandart of 1669, the fight at Moss of Forfar in 1673, and the
fate of McCombie Mor and his family. Additional chapters detail the
McCombies of Aberdeenshire who emerged during the 18th and 19th
centuries as substantial local landowners and tenants.
The first edition
excluded those of the family south of the Grampians, and this omission
the 2nd enlarged edition rectifies.The Forfarshire McCombies are given
equal place, and the new edition thereby provides substantial
information on both the Angus and Donald lines as well as additional
material on the family of McCombie Mor and his ancestors in Glenshee.
