They must have belonged to the Dunbar Contingent. Their names are Alexander Innes, Robert Guthrie, Thormut (or Dermot) Rose, William Tosh, James Danielson, and possibly a few others.
. They all probably were taken at the battle of Dunbar Sept. 3, 1650 (or the Battle of Worchester 1651), when Oliver Cromwell was victorious and four thousand were slain and ten thousand made prisoners.
