!SOURCE: Rev. Donald MacKinnon, THE MACLEODS OF ARNISDALE, Portree, Skye, Scotland, 1929, reprinted by The Clan MacLeod Society USA, Migration Project Publications Series, Number 1, 1984, pp. 14-16. He was born in 1706. He married "Christina MacLeod, youngest lawful daughter of William MacLeod of Hammir," great-grandson of Rory Mor, XIII of Dunvegan. The marriage contract is dated 26th December 1744, and was written by Roderick MacDonald, writer in Skye. The witnesses were William MacLeod, son of William macLeod of Hammir; Mr. James MacDonald, Itinerant Preacher in the Isle of Skye. MacKenzie, in his "History of the MacLeods," is in error when he states (page 263), that it was Margaret MacLeod who married Donald MacLeod of Arnisdale. It was Christina, as stated above. William MacLeod of Hammir had other daughters not mentioned by MacKenzie, vix.: -- Elizabeth, who died before 8th October 1759; Mary, and Sybella, who was married to Norman MacLeod of Glenfunery. In 1744, Donald MacLeod of Arnisdale received from the Laird of MacLeod, "in tack", "The Touns and Lands of Sandaigg, Clambuell, and Achdadyle, with houses, beggings, grasseings, sheillings, etc., all Lyeing within the Barrony of Glenelg and Sheriffdome of Inverness." In the following year (11th May), the Laird of MacLeod (Norman, 19th Chief), appointed Donald MacLeod as "Baillie of the Lands and Barrony of Glenelg . . . with full power to Fence hold fix and affirm and Continue Courts at the town of Kirktown or upon any other part of the said Lands most convenient for administrating Justice to the Inhabitants thereof and others as oft as the same shall be needful." Donald MacLeod died in October 1793, and is buried in the Churchyard in Glenelg. His widow died in May, 1799, aged 80 years, and is also buried in Glenelg. A tablet to their memory was erected in the Parish Church of Glenelg, with the following inscription: -- SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF DONALD MACLEOD OF ARNISDALE WHO DIED OCT. 1793, AGED 87 YEARS. ALSO TO THE MEMORY OF CHRISTINA MACLEOD WHO DIED MAY 1799, AGED 80 YEARS. THIS MONUMENT IS ERECTED BY THE SURVIVING SONS AS A SLIGHT TESTIMONY OF THEIR AFFECTION. Donald MacLeod, 11th of Arnisdale, was succeeded by his eldest son in the representation of the family.
