• Notes

  From the third cadet of the Carbeth stem came John of Blairluisk, whose first son, George, relinquishing his Scottish honors, emigrated to Ireland, and settled in Tyrone county. Of his four sons, John and William erected families in the county of Tyrone, George in Munster, and Thomas in Donegal. William was succeeded by his son Patrick, who in his turn was succeeded by Robert, the ancestor of the Pennsylvania stock centered in Meadville. Robert had two sons – Thomas, late a military celebrity in Cumberland county, Penn., and Alexander. source: Buchanan, Arthur William Patrick.
