Notes

!SOURCE: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon and Alick Morrison, THE MACLEODS -- THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section II, Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society, 1968, pp. 103, 109-110. Succeeded his uncle, Norman, at Hamer. William was the eldest son of Roderick MacLeod, tacksman of Lynedale and of Skeabost (immediate younger brother of Norman MacLeod), and was a Lieutenant in the army. On his uncle's death, he left the army and returned to Skye to succeed him at Hamer. [COMMISSARIAT RECORD OF THE ISLES, Vol. 6, pp. 183-8.] He married Flora, second daughter of John MacLeod, of the MacLeods of Gesto, with issue. Colonel John MacLeod of Talisker, in a letter from Aberdeen, on 26th February 1786, to MacLeod of MacLeod, writes: 'Your old pupil William Lindale (Lyndale), now Hamer, is married to poor John Gesto's second daughter Florie, for which I am afraid she has not obtained her mother's blessing, as I am afraid neither William's head (n)or heart are much worth'. [HAMER FAMILY PAPERS, Muniment Room, Dunvegan Castle.] By Flora MacLeod of Gesto, Lieutenant William MacLeod of Hamer had issue. William MacLeod, 6th of the MacLeods of Hamer, died in 1817, and was succeeded in the representation of the family of Hamer by his second son.
