116940: Malcolm Smith
Malcolm Smith (1760-1845) lived in Laxay, Lochs.
He married Isabella Maclennan of Lochs and they had seven children. By 1820 he is recorded on the tenants list of Buanish and by then the family were settled at 5 Buanish. When Buanish was cleared the family initially settled at 8 Tong, his brother Duncan's croft.
Malcolm appears to have obtained 5 Old Tong at some point, but it is not clear if he lived on the croft or merely worked it.
By 1837 the family are on the rent roll for 2 Tong.
