  1. 1.  Donald Gorm MACDONELL, of Clianaig 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.
