Notes - There is another person of the same name in Erradil [see I671] who was charged with burying his father in linen, named Angus McEachran younger. It does not appear that these are the same people based on the fact that 1) he is not designated "younger" in this entry, and 2) if this was the same person, he should have been charged in the earlier assize record for this crime. Additional evidence comes from the fact that the community-wide trial held on June 23rd was for individuals who were absent from the earlier trial.
However, the possibility remains that they are the same person, and that for some reason, he wasn't charged with burying his son in the earlier trial.
Until additional evidence comes to light, they are being treated as two separate individuals.
