Notes

!SOURCE: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon and Alick Morrison, THE MACLEODS: THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section III, "Cadet Families", Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society, 1970, pp. 283, 284. Roderick succeeded his father at Gesto. In his Pedigree, Captain Neil MacLeod, erroneously claims that Roderick "was the first of our family to take a lease or tack of Gesto, it being their own property till that period and year 1728." The first lease of Gesto is however still extant and is dated 1674. After the defeat at Inverurie o 23rd December 1745, Roderick MacLeod of Gesto was one of the signatories of an Address of Loyalty to the Chief, Norman 22nd, on 8th January 1746, assuring him that "we can bring to the field numbers of your men, that will sacrifice their lives and fortunes in your service and will not part from you nor deviate from the principles you espouse but with the last drop of their blood". Roderick XIII MacLeod of Gesto, who was alive in 1749, married Margaret, daughter of Rev. Angus MacQueen of Sleat, with issue.
