    Notes:

    The following is taken from the Clan Donald website, and contains differing family details:
    William the "Taightear" or Tutor, was likewise born in Duntulm Castle. His elder brother was Domhnull a' Chogaidh, and their father was Sir Donald Macdonald, commonly called Domhnull Breac, who was married to Lady Mary Douglas. William the Taightear was major under the Earl Of Mar in the battle of Sheriffmuir, and his brother Domhnull a' Chogaidh, while on his way to that bloody field, was seized with a fit of paralysis at Perth, wbich disabled him from proceeding farther. On account of the part which Domhnull a' Chogaidh and his vassals took in that rebellion, his estates were forfeited to the Crown. For some years afterwards the barony of Troternish was managed by a Government factor of the name of Donald Macleod, alias " Domhnull Mac Ruairidh Mhic Uilleim," whose services were anything but acceptable to the inhabitants of Troternish. At length the Property was returned by the Crown, not, however, to the rightful heir, but to William the Taightear, who got possession of it in his own name. No sooner, however had this taken place than he delivered it over to his brother Domhnull a' Chogaidh. The Taightear lived and died at Aird, a place about two miles north of Duntulm Castle.

    Notes:

    Some records show her as 'Anne'

    Anne Villiers (c. 1610 ? 15 December 1654) was an English noblewoman and Countess of Morton. She was famed for her beauty, bravery and loyalty to the throne. The first half of the 17th century closet drama Cicilia and Clorinda was dedicated to her.

    Lady Dalkeith, as she was styled at the time, was the godmother of Princess Henrietta. During the civil war, the infant princess, less than one month old, was left in Lady Dalkeith's care. After being besieged in Exeter by Parliamentary forces in April 1646, she was forced to expend her own funds to care for the princess. She refused to take the child to St. James Palace, endeavoring instead to convey her to France to be united with her mother, Queen Henrietta Maria. She disguised herself and the princess as peasants and fled to Dover and then France. Apparently, during the journey, the princess nearly revealed their identity by innocently informing the townspeople that she was not accustomed to dressing in such a shabby fashion. Nevertheless, they arrived safely. Lady Dalkeith's actions were well received and highly praised upon her arrival. Shortly after, her father-in-law died, making her Countess of Morton.
    Despite efforts of conversion to Catholicism by the princess' mother and the child herself, Lady Morton remained a staunch Protestant throughout her time as Princess Henrietta's governess. Lady Morton lived in France as the princess' governess until 1651, when her husband, the Earl, died. She herself died in Scotland on 15 December 1654, of a sudden bout of fever.
