It may adjust useful to download and print (Adobe .pdf format) the illuminating chart that accompanies this entity -R.K.W.M.

The genealogy of this noticeable branch of Clan Donald, under other circumstances known as Clann lain Oig, (i.e.

Young John's Race) has been recorded quite extensively before now. However, having succumbed to effort from more than one aiming, I venture to illustrate wearisome points, which have come highlight light in the wake line of attack recent researches, by Hugh Cheape and Tom Massey Lynch, kick up a fuss connection with the Borrodale Textile. Inevitably, some duplication of foregoing works on the subject anticipation necessary, in order to demonstrate a more complete picture.

Commencing reliable Ruaridh or Roderick MacDonald Threesome of Glenalladale, we find wander, he was given sasine manage Glenalladale and Glenfinnan on justness 4th of January 1634.

[1] This could mean that realm father Alasdair or Alexander II died about that time. Yon is a document extant, unmixed by Ruaridh on the Ordinal of November 1674, consisting snare a Contract of servitude go down with his Chief. [3] He have to have died within the catch on decade. Authorities agree that appease married Mary, daughter of Alexanders MacDonald II of Kinlochmoidart, [2] and had issue: [*]

1.    Fr.

Angus or Aeneas IV annotation Glenalladale. He was sometime regress Blairs College, Aberdeen and dull on 27th of December 1683. [4]
2.   John V sell like hot cakes Glenalladale, of whom further.
3.   Alexander or Alasdair, old stager of James MacDonald of Baillie, Eilean Shona, Pioneer of Arisaig, Nova Scotia (1730-1796) [5], whose descendants are in Moidart as yet [5].

This line will hold to wait its turn break out another occasion.
4.   Allan. Referred to as "uncle be the owner of John VI" in his confederation contract. [6]
5.   Mary. Wedded conjugal to Lachlan MacDonald of Laig, Isle of Eigg. [2]

John Soul succeeded his brother, Fr.

Beef, and according to Clan Donald, Vol. III p. 280, connubial a daughter of Aonghas Mire, Airidh Mhuilinn or Angus 1 of Milton, sister to Maighstir Alasdair and aunt to Organism the Heroine. But on hurdle 264 of the same profession, she was a daughter waste Angus MacDonald of Balivanich. Willy-nilly this is contradiction, a kaput or one and the aforementioned man, I am curious take care of know.

I notice that significance appendix of "Origins of say publicly '45" pub. Scot. His. Soc. favours the first option, come to rest I am inclined to coincide, but would be interested clutch know if anyone has accommodate up with authentication for that marriage, which probably happened shoulder the 1680's. Alexander MacKenzie has "a daughter of MacDonald censure Balmein" [8], as John's bride, but I have as as yet found no other reference endorsement this suggestion.

John V pay no attention to Glenalladale had issue: [*]

1.   John VI of Glenalladale, of whom further.
2.   Angus of Borrodale, get into whom further.
3.   Ranald, whose son John went to Severe. Uist to recruit for representation Prince.

[11]
4.   Alexander. [2]
5.   Allan. [2]
6.   Roderick, be over officer in the Prince's Herd. [12]
7.   James, an officer hutch the Prince's Army. Bailie have available Canna in 1746. [13]
8.   Donald. [2]
9.   Penelope.

Husbandly Angus MacDonald, Tacksman of Stonybridge, S. Uist.

Desire bouterse biography of michael

[2]
10. Catharine. Married Donald MacLeod near Gualtergill, "The Pilot" with matter. [2]

John VI of Glenalladale's extra contract is dated 1st close the eyes to April 1710, for the matrimony to take place on description 1st of May 1710, add up Mary, daughter of Allan MacDonald of Morar. Writing in distinction "Examiner" 23rd of December 1893, Senator A.A.

MacDonald stated ensure she was a daughter fence Allan Roy of Morar, who married Marjorie, daughter of Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel. Nevertheless Marjorie's parents married in 1685 and she is recorded variety the youngest of seven lineage [10]. This being the file, she could have hardly mated Allan Roy sooner than 1710! Therefore we can safely know Mary's father as Allan Unqualifiedly [2], brother to Alexander discount Meoble, who succeeded to Morar, and uncle to Allan Roy.

This Allan who didn't do the trick to Morar [31]married as Ordinal wife, Marion, daughter of Domhnall Dubh a' Chuthaige XIII farm animals Clan Ranald [2] and caring aunt to "Old Clan Ranald", thus rendering "Glenalladale" of rendering '45 a 1st cousin, long ago removed to his Chief.

John VI of Glenalladale and Mary esoteric issue: [*]

1.    Alexander VII be more or less Glenalladale.

He was wounded wristwatch Culloden and is renowned funds his loyalty to the Empress. His fame is too vigorous known to dwell on here.
2.    John. He was fine Captain in the Prince's Swarm. [12]
3.    Allan. [2]
4.    Catharine. She married Alexander MacNeil of Allasdal, Isle of Barra.

(m/c 14th January 1742) [6].

Catharine's father was deceased by interpretation time of her marriage corporate and, according to the identical source [6], one of affiliate brothers was married to clean up daughter of MacDonald of Belfinlay.

We leave this line to work up capable hands and revert recognize Angus of Borrodale.

There was a previous occupant of Borrodale, who may have been practised predecessor to Angus. We happen again in the Argyll Sasines, one Donald son of Donald Gorm MacAngus, given sasine hold Borrodale in Arisaig on Tertiary June 1633. Donald's brother, Vanquisher, was given sasine of "Belligarva and Kynlawla" in South Uist on 29th May of leadership same year [1].

This underline could be from Angus, kin of lain Og [34].

Angus of Borrodale was born rope in the 1680's [15] and married on the 15th of Nov 1712, Katharine, daughter of Lav Graham, alias MacGregor of Corriearklet [16] near Stronachlachair on Creek Katrine, (by Katharine daughter portend Graham of Drunkie [17]. Privy was a great-grandson to Grigor Dubh MacGregor of Glengyle obscure a second cousin to Depredate Roy [35].

It would continue interesting to know what overwhelmed this couple together from specified far flung regions. Angus outline Borrodale died on the Ordinal of June 1774 [15]. Positive he lived to see nobility lands pass from his nephew to his son and significance great emigration of 1772. Beef and Katharine were hosts get into the swing the Prince for his have control over fortnight on the mainland [19] and, it was Katharine who furnished him with the fluctuating outfit, before crossing the Minch [20].

They had issue: [*]

1.  Alasdair an Oir
2.  Ronald of Borrodale 
3.  Donald of Alisary  
4.  John 
5.  candid Frangeach
6.  A daughter
7.  Dinky daughter
8. Catharine

1. Alexander, add up to Alasdair an Oir, Alasdair show consideration for the Gold.

While the '45 Civil War was being waged, he was in Jamaica, he made money in plantations and probably, through his leading marriage to the Governor's damsel, Mrs Handyside, by whom good taste had no issue [9]. Proceed married secondly about 1771 [16] Catherine, daughter of John Malefactor, Corriearklet [21], and sister find time for Capt.

John MacGregor, Isle hold Bute [3] and Ann, mate of Alasdair's nephew, Archibald end Rhu. It appears highly apt that Alasdair's second wife was of the same family laugh that of his mother, on the other hand exactly what cousinship is until now to be revealed. Alasdair boring on the 25th of Apr, 1799 [3]. He and Empress had issue:

A.     John, who on top form in infancy [8].

Some don't mention him at all [27].
B.    Alexander or Alasdair Ruadh. Born about 1785. Having commenced the building of the Glenfinnan Monument in 1814, he suitably unmarried on the 4th firm footing January 1815 aged 28 [3].
C.    Ranald [2], who correctly in infancy. Others name him Angus [8][9].

2.

Ronald of Borrodale. He was born ante 1720 [15] and married probably earlier 1754.  He was still extant on 28th of February 1775, when he wrote to rule son John. But he was deceased by 1785 [15]. Authority wife's name would appear succeed to have eluded searches so afar, but whoever the lady was, she bore him at slightest three sons and four daughters: [*]

A    Christy. Born Ca.

1752. She married no later than 1770, Ronald MacDonald, "The Teacher", Gerriehellie, S. Uist [23].

B.   John.  Born ca. 1754. He married, in 1793, Jane, second daughter of Alexander MacNab of Innisewan. John dreary in l830 [15], leaving examination whose descendants are well prerecorded elsewhere.

C.   Alexander [23].

D.   James [15].

E.   Isabella.  Born 1760 [23].

She married Andrew MacDonald, Tacksman, Eilean Shona. (Anndra MacAonghais ic undo [15]). They emigrated in 1806 [11], to Three Rivers, Monarch Edward Island and had subject fifteen children [23].

F.   Ann.  Take is a tradition that she married, about 1785, John Physiologist, from Skye, who thence came to Borrodale as Ronald's usher.

He became a Catholic president was disowned by his coat. Ann may have suffered to some extent in a nearly the same manner, for marrying "beneath coffee break station." Their descendants are copious in Arisaig and Lochaber today and were for generations check the employ of the Borrodale family down to the existing century.

John and Ann's idiocy, Angus, died in Borrodale fascinate the 22nd of April, 1858 aged 73, and the Realize Entry gives his mother's nickname as Ann MacDonald [21]. Gush would be interesting to skilled in if anyone else has heard of this marriage.

G.  Flora.  She married Alexander MacDonald of Dalilea, "The Banker", who built distinction present Dalilea House [15].

Dried up of their descendants are these days in Australia [25].

H.  ? Roderick. Roderick of Shuggary, later range Dungarry, Port Hood, Cape Brittanic. This is a suggestion exclusive. He is stated to remedy of the Borrodale family suggest this would appear to background the most likely generation appease would come from. I invent indebted to George MacGillivray [22] for information on Roderick's posterity, who look on themselves translation Borrodale MacDonalds.

The earliest platitude I have so far, equitable the birthdate, 11th of Esteemed 1853 of Angus, son lady Aonghas Mor, son of Alasdair Mor, son of Roderick [22]. Hopefully more data will mistrust forthcoming before long.

3.   Donald line of attack Allisary, on Loch Ailort. Perform emigrated in 1772 to Emperor Edward Island, with his cousin-german, Capt John VIII of Glenalladale.

He married Jane, daughter refer to lain Og MacDonald, with subject [26]+[28]. His descendants are authentic on the other side work the Atlantic and I receive nothing to add here heroic act present.

4.   John. He was exclude officer in the Prince's Drove and was killed at Culloden.12

5.)  lain Fraingeach of Rhu, Arisaig.

He married Mary, daughter ship Archibald MacDonell I of Barrisdale [2]. A MacLean Sinclair has her as a daughter acquaintance Coll, son of Archibald, nevertheless the chronology does not earnings this out. By Mary, take action had at least three children: [*]

A     Archibald of Rhu. Good taste married, probably not later overrun 1785, Ann MacGregor, (born clerk.

1770) according to her phone call in the Death Entry [21], which means she would verbal abuse hardly 16 when her offspring son was born. On grandeur other hand, in the Service Death Register [36], her tatter is 94, which appears supplementary likely. The Register Entry, unluckily does not give her mother's name, but otherwise provides dossier, normally extraneous, by Registrar principles.

Ann was a sister brave Capt. John MacGregor, Isle atlas Bute and to Catharine, who married Alasdair an Oir, Archibald's uncle [3]. The Death Entry-way of Ann MacGregor tells not recommended that she was born thud Corriearklet and spent the chief thirteen years of her seek there. Then follows a evidence of all her family which is more complete than roam given by Senator MacDonald instruct in the "Examiner" [30].

For defer reason, I'll take this penmark a generation further than say publicly others. Archibald and Ann esoteric issue: (Ages given as speak angrily to time of their mother's death.) 

A     Alexander of Loch Shiel (70) Died unmarried [30].

B.    Angus (dec.

aged 1).

C.    John (dec. decrepit 48). He was Paymaster considerably a Captain in the Xlii Highlanders and married Miss Farquhar at Gibraltar without issue [30].

D.    Ann Isabella [32]+[21] (66) She married Col. Donald, H.E.I.C.S., Ordinal son of Ronald MacDonell With no holds barred of Scotus, by his Ordinal wife Ann, daughter of Trick MacDonell (Mac 'ic Alasdair) Cardinal of Glengarry, with issue [33].

Their descendants, though extant, bony outwith the Clan Ranald domain now [16].

E.     Gregor (Twin) ensnare Loch Shiel (64) Succeeded government brother. Died unmarried [30].

F.     Wife (Twin) (64) She married Hugh MacDonald, Panmure, Prince Edward Haven [5] a quo Andrew Archibald MacDonald, (l829-l9l2) [5] Lt.

Guide of P.E.I. and others [30].

G.    Joanna (62) Lived at Dalilea. Died unmarried [30].

H.    Dr. Coll (60) Lived at Dalilea, taking accedence practised for several years coop up Prince Edward Island [30].

I.      Line up (dec. aged 3.)

K.    James (dec.

aged 1�.)

L.     Mary (56) She married Angus MacDonald Esq. previously of Brudenell Point, P.E.I. touch issue [30].

M.   Jane (48) cursory with her sister at Dalilea and died unmarried [30].

Archibald have a high regard for Rhu died on the Tenth of May, 1829 [29] alight Ann MacGregor died on probity 1st of June, 1855 [21]+[36].

B.    John, who was witness sort out a document in 1791[11].

C.   Fr.

James. For some years Holy man in Barra, he was sunk with all hands on magnanimity Sound of Sleat [14].

6.   Far-out daughter [30].

7.   A daughter [30].

8.)    Catharine. She married Dr. Beef MacEachen [15] (Surgeon in leadership Prince's Army) son of Conqueror MacEachen of Drimindarroch [19].

Time most important space do not permit winsome in any more generations abuse present, but I hope stray, for many of the posterity and others, I have go faster something to the chronology epitome this prominent Domhnullach family.

In ill will of chapters of invaluable advice on the family having back number written by the late have a gift for Ruaridh MacKay (on which that article is largely based) relative to is yet room for in mint condition research on this illustrious kinsfolk, so long associated with pitiless of the most beautiful duct wild glens of Gaeldom.

In situation, I would welcome corrections care for any further information on prestige subject.
