John, on record as tenant in Erista in 1790, was married to a Macdonald, possibly a sister of Murchadh Ban, and they had a family. However on his son Murdo's death certificate the mother is named as Chirsty Macleod and Murdo, according to tradition, was raised by his mother in a house in Timsgarry. John had other children including:

John – married in Valtos to Isabella nee Macdonald. He drowned near the Seann Bheinn.

Donald,  Domhnall Mear so named because he could move very fast. He married and emigrated to Canada.
