    • In 1692, Neill McVuirrie in Achaduy, John McVuirrie in Barr, and Neill mc Vhurie and Murich Mc Vhurie in Blythswood's and Skipness's Lands were all fencible men.

      In 1694, Archibald "McVurrich" occupied a hearth in Kilmichell, Neill, Malcolm, and Neill younger occupied three hearths in Breintian, Donald in Clonaig, Donald in Colphyne, Marie McVurie in Glenskipell, Donald McVurichie in Gartvaich, Neill and Lachlan McVurrie in Grinan, Murdoch McVurich in Ronachan, and Lauchlan McVuirichie in Douniskeg, all in Kilcalmonell parish.
