Notations regarding Roderick Macleod, WS...
I would like to bring attention to the Geni community about a possible wrong date and biography for "Roderick Macleod, WS..."
#1: About Section:
It appears someone has incorrectly transcribed the biographical information for Roderick Macleod WS.
This text appears INCORRECTLY ascribed:
“Second son of William Macleod of Luskinder, Inverness-shire. Died: 26th June, 1784. Mar. (1) Isabel, only daughter of Hector Bannatyne of Kames, Buteshire; and (2) Marjory, daughter of John Taylor, Writer in Edinburgh. Father of Sir William Macleod Bannatyne, one of the Lords of Council and Session.
SOURCE: A history of the Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet; Page 136
The text on Page 136 actually reads:
“MACLEOD, RODERICK 7th March 1732
Apprentice to (1) Ronald Campbell; and (2) John Buchanan ~Second son of William Macleod of Luskinder, Inverness-shire. Died 26th June 1784. Mar. (1) Isabel, only daughter of Hector Bannatyne of Kames, Buteshire; and (2) Marjory, daughter of John Taylor, Writer of Edinburgh. Father of Sir William Macleod Bannatyne, of the Lords of Council and Session.”
Please see that I am correct by reviewing the media section or viewing page 136 yourself at

#2: Birthdate.
Please provide the source data for the birthdate ascribed as October 13, 1718 otherwise it appears that the best date to use is 7th March 1732 as documented in the A history of the Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet; Page 136.
