==Research Note==With most members of the extended Sutherland family pre-1600, the place and date of birth is rarely recorded and took place before the earliest date of surviving Church records. The age, origins and other details of most are obtained through the content of Wills, Testaments and Land Charters.
For women, they first appear in the Marriage Contracts and Settlements entered into on their behalf by their fathers or brothers. In some cases there may be little or no record of a woman in her own family but her origins have been recorded in the records of the family into which she married, especially if she subsequently became mother of an heir.
For men, generally only the eldest son is fully recorded, his younger brothers only being named if granted land in their own right or through inheritance by marrying an heiress. The other main source of information on men comes from military service, especially where recorded as having been killed in a particular battle.
