Except for rare absenteeisms, which are noted, once the man joined the group, he attended at every exercise.Each paper is headed -'We whose names are hereunto subscribed, do hereby acknowledge to have received of Lieut. David Spence, Royal Navy, the sum against each respectively expressed, for attending at Mid Yell, to be exercised as Sea Fencibles, under the command of Captain James Nicolson50.

The name first appears in Orkney in 1613, with one John BAIN, of Sandwick, South Ronaldsay. In Shetland one George BAIN was in Lerwick in 1687. In Shetland the Fladdabister family has a tradition that the first of their line, John BAIN married to Margaret (or Janet) SUTHERLAND, arrived in 1588 from Caithness or Sutherland (Mainland Scotland), settling in Ocraquoy; None; Parents born in Shetland but lineage not yet provided; The matches for 25 markers in the FTDNA database show overwhelming matches to Scotland and relatively few elsewhere. As to matches at the high resolution 37 marker level, the closest at 35/37 are to two ALEXANDERS, a BUCHANAN, and another BAIN. At 34/37 the surnames all appear to be Scottish; This would seem to be a classic Scottish, and possibly Pictish signature.
