| (C) | John (Ian Mor) Macdonald (Macdonnell) of Ardnabi | ||||||||||||||
| (D) | John (Ian Og) Macdonald ancestor of Macdonalds in America | ||||||||||||||
| (E) | Alistair Mor Macdonald ancestor of Macdonalds of Aberchalder & Culachie | ||||||||||||||
| (F) | Isabella Macdonald (Macdonnell) | ||||||||||||||
| m. (by 1598) Sir Roderick Macleod, 16th of Macleod and Dunvegan (d 1626) | |||||||||||||||
| (G) | Margaret Macdonald | ||||||||||||||
| BLG1952 shows that Margaret m. Torquil Macleod of Lewis but that is possibly confusion with her aunt (below) so, even though the dates make it look as though she had 2 children very young, it was probably this Margaret who married ... | |||||||||||||||
| m. Neil Macleod of Assynt (d 1581) | |||||||||||||||
| (H) | Katherine Macdonald | ||||||||||||||
| m. Duncan Grant of Aolach | |||||||||||||||
| (I) | Janet Macdonald | ||||||||||||||
| m. Malcolm Mackintosh | |||||||||||||||
| (J) | Flora Macdonald possibly of this generation, of this marriage | ||||||||||||||
| m. Murdo Macleod of Gesto | |||||||||||||||
| m2. (??) Katherine Mackintosh (dau of Lachlan Mackintosh of that ilk) | |||||||||||||||
| Katherine is reported by BLG1952 as being the wife of Donald's undermentioned illegitimate son Angus rather than Donald's own second wife, with Angus's wife being daughter of a different Lachlan Mackintosh. We follow TSP on this. As Donald lived to over 100, it would be surprising if he had not had more than one wife. It is an assumption that his first wife, Margaret, was mother of all of the above-mentioned children. Mackenzie, who does not mention Alistair or any of the daughters, identifies the 2nd wife as a dau of Macdonell of Keppoch. | |||||||||||||||
