Archibald FLETCHER

Notes:

Birth:
Baptisms Glenorchy p.57-63, Argyle Parish Register and Dr. McIntyre's Register

(birthplace of Archibald also given as Glen Orchy)

Among the many lands owned or protected by the Fletchers, MacNabs and related clans, Ardbrecknish (Ardvrecknish), Argyllshire, Scotland (today in the United Kingdom), lies along the south shore of Loch Awe, the longest freshwater loch in Scotland, some distance to the northeast of Glasgow. As one leaves Loch Awe to the north, following along the River Orchy, the Bridge of Orchy is found lying just south of the much smaller Loch Tulla. Nestled just a little north of Loch Tulla is Achallader. And almost due east of Ardbrecknish is Loch Earn, with Ardvorlich on its south shore and Dundurn to the east. Southward lies Callander near Loch Venachar, to the east of which one finds Drumvaich, Doune and Dunblane.

Buried:

'Sketch of the History of the Fletcher Family 1896 by John Wesley Fletcher (1838-1913) of Detroit, Mich. Additions 1936 by Rev. Wm. Percy Fletcher. Begins "Grandfather Fletcher's father Archibald Fletcher married Flora McNab in Argyleshire, Scotland and their children from memory were Archibald, Alexander, Flora, Duncan, James, Ann and Elizabeth. The Fletchers, Campbells and MacNabs intermarried for centuries and the Fletchers wer thus allied to the Clans Campbell and MacNab."----(omitted here Fletcher name origin and meaning)---"Archibald Fletcher and his wife came from Scotland to new Jersey in 1769 in which year our grandfather (Alexander) was born." '
—The Ancestral Lines of Chester Everts Howell, by Jessie Howell Finch, 1796
A note was included by JHF: The Corwin family into which Alexander married came from N.J. but so far records of the Fletchers have not been found in that state (Alexander's marriage to Rachel Corwin).
Additional Note: The papers by John Wesley Fletcher called Sketch of the History of the Fletcher Family, was destroyed by water damage, and unfortunately thrown out rather than seeking restoration.
