The table shows Kilmuir Wester was at least 11½ davachs, Suddy was at least 3 davachs. Part of Kilmuir may have comprised a now lost parish of Allan (see table). St John’s Chapel is close to Allangrange Mains.
I have not tried to unscramble the original parochial divisions between Killearnan, Kilmuir Wester and Suddie. See OSA Vol 12 No 21 p 263 which gives detail of parochial reorganisation in the 18th century. See GD305/1/108/324 1658 and
RS38/3/42v 1666 under Muirton in table. See also OPS II, II p 532.
