From source who wishes to remain annonymous
"The information I gave you on Alexander MacLeod who married AnneMacDonald, Flora's daughter, was taken from the book "The Life of FloraMacDonald" by Rev. Alexander MacGregor.
And its genealogical value is widely accepted. Here is a paragraph
Anne who married Major Alexander MacLeod of Lochbay, Isle of Skye and ofGlendale, Moore County U.S.A.. He fought through the American War ofIndependence; subsequently distinguished himself in the European Wars,and rose to the rank of Major General in the British Army.
His wife Anne, daughter of Flora MacDonald survived him and died at thehouse of their daughter Mary, at the village of Stein, Isle of Skye, in1834.
The issue of this marriage was Norman, killed by Glengarry in a dual,after a quarrel at a Northern Meeting Ball at Inverness. 2& 3 sons, oneof whom married in India (4) Flora who married Mr MacKay from Forres,Moray, with issue (5) Mary, who died, unmarried, in Stein, Isle of Skye."
From the same source
"From Rev. Alexander MacGregor's book The Life of Flora MacDonald ( andothers)
Flora MacDonald (1722) was the daughter of Ranald MacDonald, younger ofMilton in South UiSt He was the son of Angus, younger, of Milton. Ranaldwas a Cadet of the family of Clanranald and not very distantly related.Flora's mother was Marion, daughter of The Rev. Angus MacDonald, for someyears the parish minister of the Island of Gigha.
He was known as Angus son of Hugh of Griminish in the Island of NorthUiSt His wife was a daughter of MacDonald of Largie in Kintyre. Flora'syounger brother Angus succeeded his father at Milton, while his mother,in 1728, married Hugh MacDonald of Armadale, in Skye, a Captain in theMilitia in the Long Island during the Prince's wanderings there Notedfrom other books etc. Marion and Hugh had other children Annabella,Florence and James, not necessarily in that order. I think they hadanother two sons, however, they died at an early age.
Alexander MacGregor was a very highly respected source of information onFlora and quite frequently quoted in other books."
