Notes

!SOURCE: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon, and Alick Morrison, THE MACLEODS -- THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section III, "MacLeod Cadet Families", Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society, 1970, pp. 2-3. John MacLeod was probably the first of the family to hold the tack of Crackinish. He appears in the Estate Papers as "Ean mc Allister Albinich", "John McAlister awinich" or simply "Johne McAllister" in the Harris Estate Papers from 1679 to 1685 in the tack of South Caipebhal (Southton) in the tip of South Harris. After 1685, he disappears from Harris but it is clear that as early as 1683, he possessed the tack of Crackinish in Minginish in Skye. There he is identified as "Johne Mc Allister" or "Ean mc Allister vic Williame". He married his second cousin Marion, daughter of Norman MacLeod 3rd of Ferinlea, a circumstance which could have given him the tack in that area. They had issue. After his death, the family, which was numerous, accompanied their mother and emigrated to America. Only one of them, Captain Alexander MacLeod of Vatten and Dunelirich was single on his return from America in 1783. He married Helen, daughter of William MacLeod I of Ose, with issue, Flora (died in 1858), who married John Johnston in Edinburgh.
