Torbeg Melvilles
The crofts of Torbeg and Lingmore in the lower reaches of the Doll Settlement in the parish of Clyne were the residencies of a line of Melvilles which have been designated the Torbeg Melvilles. This line starts with a John Melville born to John Melville and Kate Sutherland. This John was married to Elizabeth Munro and they lived in the Lingmore and Torbeg crofts area in the early to mid 19th century. As will be seen from the printed descent lines there were many family members, many early deaths and numerous connections at home and abroad into Doll families.
John Melville who fathered a John Melville to Kate Sutherland may have been the same John who fathered a John to Helen MacDonald. Dates and circumstantial evidence suggests this as a possibility but clear evidence is not available. John of John and Helen was the progenitor of another Doll line, the Coalmine Melvilles. Even if the early John Melvilles do not come from the common source of a John who fathered children to Kate and Helen there are later links between both the family lines.
Descent
