Notes

!SOURCE: Alick Morrison, THE MACLEODS: THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section IV, Revised Edition, "The MacLeods of Lewis", Edinburgh, Associated Clan MacLeod Societies, 1990, pp. 18-19. One of the two leading Macleods in Lewis in the early eighteenth century, John Macleod (Iain mac Thorcaill) was the tacksman of Hacklete. In 1726, signing the deposition in a good hand, he deponed that he had been tacksman of Hacklete for forty years. he was not always content at Hacklete, and once asked the advice of John Morison whether he should avail himself of an opportunity to move elsewhere. Morison's answer, in verse (surviving in several versions) must have been heeded, for Macleod stayed at Hacklete. [Matheson (ed.) (1970) pp. 218 & 233-234.] John Macleod, tacksman of Hacklete from c. 1686, married a daughter of Murdoch Matheson (Murchadh Mor mac Dhubhghaill mhic Iain Oig mhic Mhurchaidh Bhuidhe) by his second wife, Christian MacAulay (daughter of Ian Ruadh, tacksman of Kneep) [Matheson, TGSI (XLVII) pp. 184-188.] with issue, at least two sons. It is not known when John MacLeod died. He was succeeded by his eldest son.
