***A new discovery by a Tolmie descendent, James McKay (New Zealand) of the literature could suggest that an earlier line of the Tolmies/Tolmes existed. 

Previously John Tolmach MacRory MacLeod, the progenitor of the Tolmie sept is mentioned in multiple texts in connection to the date c.1610-11 and conflicts with the MacKenzie clan. 

A recent discovery of an earlier known Tolme/ Tolmie, a Robert Tolme of Inverness circa 1501-03 (approximately 100 years 
earlier) This could suggest an earlier line whose origins are still be to known. This is yet to be confirmed.

This appears to be the earliest recorded Tolme/Tolmie known predating that of John Tolmach MacRory MacLeod.
