!BIOGRAPHY: George Crawfurd, Esq., THE PEERAGE OF SCOTLAND, Edinburgh, 1716, pp. 437-438. This noble Earl, for his firm Adherence to King Charles I. had his Estate iequstrated, and himself excommunicated, and forced to leave the Kingdom. After the Murder of the King, he repaired to his Majesty King Charles II. while he sojourned in Holland, who received him graciously, and made him Principal Secretary of State for Scotland; in which honourable, tho' not at that Time very profitable Employment. He died Anno 1651. [Memoirs of the Family of Seaforth, in the Dedication to the Lord Seaforth, by Dr. George Mackenzie, in his first Volume of his Biography, who, I am hopeful will oblige the Nation, by writing at large the Memoirs of this noble Family, of which he has the Honour to derive his Descent, and which I know the Dr. is so well supply'd with Materials for, and for that very Reason I have been the less particular in my Account of this noble Family, than perhaps I might have been, presuming that that more exact Work of his will in due Time be communicated to the World.] He married Barbara, Daughter of Arthur Lord Forbes, by whom he had George his Son and Heir, Mr. Colin Mackenzie, the Father of my excellent Friend the Learned Dr. George Mackenzie, who hath already obliged the World with Two Volumes of a Biography of his learn'd Countrymen; for whose great Worth and Vertues I have the Esteem which he has from all the Lovers of his Country, and very deservedly.

George, second Earl of Seaforth, Šwas served heir male of his father Kenneth, Lord Mackenzie of Kintaill, in the lands and barony of Pluscarden, 14th January 1620, and of his brother Colin, 24th May 1633, and had charters of Balmungie and Avache, 18th July 1635; of Rasay, 18th February 1637, of the barony of Lewis, 13th March 1637; and of Lochalsh, 4th July 1642. He joined the association in support of Charles I. at Cumbernauld, in 1641, and entered into a confederacy for preserving the national peace, 1646. He was excommunicated by the General Assembly in June that year, for joining Montrose and adhering to him. After the execution of the king he repaired to Holland, and was graciously received by Charles II., who nominated him principal secretary of state for Scotland, but he died soon afterwards, in 1651. His Lordship married Barbara, eldest daughter of Arthur, ninth Lord Forbes, by whom he had issue.
