Hector MacNeil's song is of 1794 [See Stenhouse's notes in 'Illustrations to SMM, and reprint the song]

For "Ye Jacobite's by name" and "Admiral Benbow" as ABCs see S1 on my website. See "Sound a Charge" in the broadside ballad tunes there for an ABC of the "Put in All" early variant (in dance collection from 1708). There was a long discussion of the tune and it's variants on the Ballad_L list about 2 years ago (mostly from me). I'll see if I can find it in my old mail files.
