These confused rather than enlightened them, and it was resolved to send one of their number, in whom they had most confidence, to the nearest British authority, in order that their difficulties should be explained and their doubts satisfied.

There was one sterling family among them of the name of James.

Of this family there were five brothers, John, William, Gavin, Robert and James.

There were other branches of this family who partook largely of the qualities of the five brothers.
