!BIOGRAPHY: George Crawfurd, Esq., THE PEERAGE OF SCOTLAND, Edinburgh, 1716, p. 438. [CAUTION: Crawfurd calls this man Kenneth, while Douglas calls him William. The advantage of Crawfurd is that he was a living contemporary of this man, and is therefore more likely to be correct.] KennethŠ, the present Earl; Šis married with Mary, only Daughter and Heir of Nicolas Kennet of Coxhow, Esq; of the County of Northumberland.

!BIOGRAPHY: Sir Robert Douglas of Glenbervie, Baronet, THE PEERAGE OF SCOTLAND, Vol. II, Edinburgh, 1813, pp. 483, 484. XVI. William, fifth Earl of Seaforth, the eldest son, engaged in the rebellion 1715, for which he was attainted by act of Parliament, and his estates in England and Scotland forfeited to the crown. He escaped to the Continent; landed in Kintail with a party of Spaniards in April 1719; was dangerously wounded at the battle of Glensheal that year, but, being carried off by his followers, found means to get abroad, along with the Marquis of Tullibardine, and Earl Marischall. By letters-patent dated 12th July 1726, King George I. was pleased to discharge him from imprisonment or the execution of his person on his attainder, and King George II. made him a grant of the arrears of feu-duties due to the crown out of his forfeited estate. An act of Parliament passed, in 1735, to enable William Mackenzie, late Earl of Seaforth, to sue or maintain any action or suit notwithstanding his attainder, and to remove any disability in him by reason of his said attainder, to take or inherit any real or personal estate that may or shall hereafter descend to him. He died in the island of Lewis, 8th January 1740. He married, 22d April 1715, Mary, only daughter and heiress of Nicholas Kennet of Coxhow in Northumberland, and by her, who died at Paris in August 1739, had issue.
