  Marriage Notes:

"In 1291, when about twenty-three years of age, Angus Mackintosh was sent to herald an approaching visit of the island chief to Dougal Dall, chief of the Clan Chattan - perhaps on some matter relating to the great national question of the day.... The Chattan chief was old and frail ; his only child a daughter .... It was therefore expedient that he should make provision for the future safety and welfare of his daughter, and that he should use every effort also to ensure the continued prosperity of his people by strengthening the ties between them and their powerful neighbour the lord of Isla. The arrival of Mackintosh, nephew and ward of the island chief, seemed to offer a favourable opportunity for effecting both objects ; in those days not much time was lost in wooing, a marriage was soon arranged, and Eva, the Chattan chief's daughter, became the wife of the chief of Mackintosh." (page 45)

"After a long chiefship, marked by important events in the history both of the clan and the country at large, Angus died in 1345, in the 77th year of his age. Besides his successor William, he had, with two daughters, six other sons, - John ; Aligns 'Og' (ancestor of the Mackintoshes of Glentilt, afterwards of Dalmunzie) ; Malcolm (killed at Durham in 1346, and whose grandson William, having fled into Mar on account of a murderous outrage in which he was concerned, became the progenitor of some families of Mackintoshes in that district, as well as, it is supposed, of the Aberdeenshire Toshes) ; Ferquhard, also killed at Durham ; Duncan, whose son Iver was killed at Drumlui ; and Shaw."
