VI。 JAMES FOWLER MACKENZIE; now of Allangrange; Chief of the Mackenzies; and heir male to the dormant honours and ancient titles of the historic family of Kintail and Seaforth。 He is still unmarried; and it is much to be feared that after his death and that of his brother; George; who is without issue male; the Chiefship of this great Clan may go a…begging。 The only member of the family whose male representation has not been proved extinct is Kenneth; third son of Simon; I。 of Allangrange; born about two hundred years ago; and of whom or of his descendants; if any; nothing is known for two centuries。 And trace of them is now scarcely within the region of possibility; even if in existence; which is extremely improbable。
The Hon。 Simon Mackenzie of Lochslinn; seventh son of Kenneth; first Lord Mackenzie of Kintail; had by his first wife; three other sonsThomas Mackenzie; I。 of Loggie; John Mackenzie; I。 of Inchcoulter or Balcony and Colin Mackenzie; Clerk to the Privy Council; but the male issue of all three has been proved extinct。 He; however; married again; and it is among the descendants of the second marriage that the Chiefship of the Clan must be sought for should the heirs male of Allangrange at any time fail。
