  1. 1.  Alasdair Buidhe 14 MACDONELL, of Keppoch died about 1669.

    Notes:

    Alasdair Buidhe Macdonald, 14th of Keppoch. Alasdair Buidhe (yellow haired), who was the Tutor of Keppoch, became the unopposed chief after the murder of the young chiefs. In the Royal Commission, granted July 1665, to proceed against the murderers two of his sons were named. A band of 50 warriors arrived in the Braes of Lochaber in September of 1665, two years after the murders. They surprised Sliochd Dhughaill (Macdonalds of Inverlair) at Inverlair and after a bloody fight Alasdair Ruadh MacDughaill and six of his relatives were killed. lain Lom cut off the heads and ordered the seven headless bodies to be buried on a knoll opposite the house of Inverlair. (The skeletons of the bodies were unearthed in this century and no skulls were found.) The two sons of Alasdair Buidhe avoided capture. The elder, Ailein Dearg, had fled, some say to Lewis, others say to Badenoch. There is one story that has him killed at Tulloch. The younger son, Donald Gorm's, name appears among those against whom legal proceedings were begun in 1671 for the 1663 murders. Keppoch was summoned, among others, before the Privy Council on 15 January, 1669 for using violence against a company of soldiers sent to assist in collecting the taxes. He is said to have drowned in the River Spean the same year. He was succeeded by his second son Archibald, also called Gilleasbuig.

  4. 5.  Donald Gorm MACDONELL, of Clianaig Descendancy chart to this point (1.Alasdair1) died before 1697.

    Notes:

    Fled 1663, implicated in the murder of his cousins Alexander 13th chief and his brother Ranald.

    Hugh Peskett, acting for Ranald Alexander Macdonald in his claim to be Keppoch [see: http://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/opinions/XA22.html] claims Donald Gorm of Clianaig and Donald Gorm of Inveroy Mor as one and the same person, with Inveroy Mor being possibly also a tacksman of Clianaig.

    Castleton shows these 2 as separate individuals, uncle and nephew. Indeed, the Register of the Privy Council 3rd Series Vol. 3 (1683-1684) Ed. by P Hume Brown (1915) States in 2 successive decreets of the Privy Council for 1683 - 1684:

    "Decreitt. John Campbell in Torr contra Donald Gorme in Clinadge [Clianaig], Angus McDonald Leanichinbeg and Angus Mcdonald of Killichonat, his nephew, and chieff of the famillie, whereof he is desciendit, for his interest. Daited at Achallader, the seventein day of August, 1683."

    "Decreitt. Donald Gorme McDonald of Inneroy contra Alexander Campbell of Lochneill, wherefor he is asolzied becaus the lybell is not sufficiently provine."

    This would seem to suggest that the 2 Donald Gorms were not one and the same individual.

    Norman H MacDonald states that: "There is no proof that Donald Gorm MacDonald of Inverroy Mor [as stated by Hugh Peskett] was a son of Alasdair Buidhe 14th of Keppoch. All the printed accounts, based on local knowledge, or tradition, show a Donald Gorm of Inverroy as a son of Alasdair nan Cleas, 10th o Keppoch and therefore a younger brother of Alasdair Buidhe, 14th Chief. Alasdair Buidhe, indeed did have a son known as Donald Gorm who, along with his eldest brother alan, was indicted for the morder of alexander 13th Chief and his brother Ranald in 1663... and DC MacPherson ... states in a letter, that he thought but was not absolutely sure, that this latter Donald Gorm was the progenitor of the Clianaig cadet family of Keppoch."

    There are other difficulties with this case and the genealogy below is not univerally accepted. However, it is included here, to use the terms of the Court of Session, for aught yet seen. I have retained the designation "of Clianaig" as that is the one used by Casleton, which is my preferred source. RKWM.
