Notes

1 - Alastair was created a peer by the exiled Jacobite King James VIII in 1716. It appears that that creation has never been recognised under UK law.
[Stirnet Macdonald03]

2 - On 27th August 1715, Glengarry was one of the chiefs who attended the pretended grand hunting match at Braemar, appointed by the Earl of Mar, previous to the breaking out of the rebellion of that year. After the suppression of the rebellion, the chief of Glengarry made his submission to General Cadogan at Inverness. He died in 1724. By his wife, Lady Mary Mackenzie, daughter of the third Earl of Seaforth, he had a son, John MacDonell, who succeeded him. [3]
