Notes:

Lachlan, his [Angus] eldest son, had in 1614 obtained a feu of the lands of Damigavie Strathdearn from Calder, and in 1616, from the Earl of Moray, a feu of Kyllachy [also spelled Kellachie, Cullochquhie and Culliquhe], in Strathdearn, from which place the family was afterwards styled. The charter of Kyllachy (and Corrivorache), dated at Darnaway 16 June 1616, and confirmed by the king on 26 Dec. following, is in favour of Lachlan Mackintosh Angussone in Bellliwaltyr; the rent is 0 merks, a mart, a sheep, and a kid yearly, and Lachlan is to keep to the earl against all mortals except the king and Sir John Campbell of Calder, and in the event of a quarrel between the earl and Calder, he is to remain neutral... He further renounces all right and possession whatsoever which he, his father, grandfather, or great-grandfather had within the bounds of Petty and Breachlie, and is not to enter those districts without the earl's consent... he did not adhere to these covenants, inasmuch as he was one of the leaders in the feud against Moray in 1624.
He died before 30 Nov 1630, leaving by his wife, a dau. [wife] of Barclay of Gartlie, two sons, Wiliam and James.

Notes:

Angus, commonly called Angus "Williamson" and known in tradition as Angus with the Brazen Face*," is fairly entitle to rank as one of the notables of Clan Chattan. The Rev. Hew Rose, historian of the Kilravock family, speaks of him as "a verie wittie and dareing man," and storied of his with and daring survived in tradition down to recent times. He and his immediate predecessors appear to have had their home in Petty, at Cullerny and Termit.

His first appearance is in 1570, when as "Angus M'Donald vic William in Cullerny" he witnesses Letters of Reversion of the land of Clune by James Mac Donald Glas in favour of Lachlan, 16th chief; and he is still described as "in Cullerny" in 1580 when on 24 Sep. a pension of ?100 a year is granted to him, under the privy seal out of the fruits of the parish kirks of Elgin and St. Andrews in the bishopric of Moray, for his good service to the king "both in the north and in the south" and for the great damage which he had sustained through his loyalty.

He appears to have been with the chief at Edinburgh in Dec. 1572, when he is found as a witness to the bond of service to the king and the regent signed by Lachlan Mor in anticipation of his obtaining the lordship of Badenoch; Here he is described as "Angus M'Yntosche son and apparent heir of Donald M. of Cullerney."

His first appearance in connection with Termit is in 1576 as witness to a contract between the chief and one of the Strachans of Culloden; afterwards, down to 1609, he is frequently described as "of" or "inTermit." Being unable to to write, his signature is always "with his hand at the pen led" by some other person, usually a "nottar," or notary. His appearances in records are numerous, some being of such a nature as to show that he was a man of weight and influence; while his frequent appearances in conjunction with his chief seem to indicate a close friendship between them, both being of about the same age...

The appearances of Angus in records show considerable variety of locality and circumstance. Besides Inverness, Cawdor, and other places near home, he is found in Ross-shire and Perthshire, at inveraray, and more than once at Huntly and Edinburgh. Although unable to write his name, he seems to have been in request as a witness to deeds; on many occasions of this kind he was probably present as a companion to his chief...

In 1600 Angus and his three sons are found giving a band of manrent to the Marquis of Huntly, who remits and discharges them "of all rancour, malice, envye, or uthir quhatsumevir doine aganis us be the said Angus and his forsaidis (sons, servants, &c.) and speciallie of al quhatsumevir deid doine be him or onny of his in the leit trubill fallin out betuis us and Lachlane Mackintoiss of Dunnachten, his cheiff."... Nine years afterwards, ... Angus joined in the great Band of Union among Clan Chattan, which was signed at his own place of Termit, and in this his name appears second, coming next afterthat of the tutor of Mackintosh.

In 1609 he aquired the heritable right of the land of Alturlies ("Auldtirleys") and Breaknish, in Petty, with fishings, &c., sasine being given 31 Aug. on precept under the Great Seal dated 22 June; and from this time the family continued to flourish and spread.

According to the Farr MS., Angus married

1st a dau of Mark Dunbar of Durris, by whom he had a son, Lachlan (1st of Kyllachy); and

2nd, Agnes, dau of Kenneth Mackenzie of Suddie, with issue John (of Moril) and Alexander (of Holm and Aldourie); but it appears that

[3rd] Marjorie or Marion Falconer was his wife in 1609, when she is associated with him in the charter of Alturlies and Breaknish; and in 1625 a precept from Chancery of 15 July directs that sasine be given in those lands to William Mackintosh as heir to the deceased Mackintosh of Altryllies, his father, "procreated between and Marion Falconer his spouse." From these entries it may be assumed that the lands had been acquired in 1609 by means of Marion Falconer's money.

His son, Alexander had feus of Aldourie and Holm, near Inverness, the latter of which, in 1621, he transferred to his cousin Alexander, son of William (younger brother of Angus), in whose line the lands of Holm have ever since remained.

Another son, probably by the second wife, was Angus ..., who appears several times in the Mackintosh papers. and "Mr." Angus, "recor" or "minister" of Kingussie, and who had a son William, served heir to him 12 May 1663.

Angus "Williamson" died in 1624, "a little before Whitsunday."
------

*... A friend being in prison at Edinburgh on some charge involving capital punishment, Angus entered Holyrood in disguise and managed to obtain a private audience of the king, James VI. Presenting a pistol at James' breast, he obtained from the terrified monarch a token by which he procured his friend's liberation. He then immediately embarked in a boat waiting for him at Leith, and next morning was at Kirkwall in Orkney. He was thus able to brove an alibi on being charged with threatening the king's life, but confessed privately to James, who good-jumouredly pardoned him and gave him the nickname of Angus with the Brazen Face...

Notes:

Donald Mackintosh, 3rd of Killachie was tutor during the minority of Lachlan Mor Mackintosh, 16th of Mackintosh. He had one son, Angus, by Catherine, daughter of Hugh Rose, 9th of Kilravock Castle who succeeded him.
--
William was succeeded by his second son, Donald, commonly called Donald Williamson, styled "of Cullernie." He married about 1553 Catherine Rose, 4th daughter of Kilravock, widow of John Fraser of Farraline, killed at Blar-na-leine, 15th July, 1544. Donald took an active part for his infant chief [Lachlan Mor] in the deplorable position into which the family fell through the remorseless hatred of the Earl of Huntly, who first compassed the death of William, Lachlan's father, got all his estates forfeited, and thereafter gifted to him. At Inverness, on 2nd April, 1561, Donald is served nearest agnate to Lachlan, his chief, and so reduced was the family at the time, and so dangerious the power of Huntly, that only one landed gentleman appeared on the jury... Some [who appeared] may have been Mackintoshes, but all honour to the Macphersons, Macqueens, Shaws, and Macbeans, who rallied round the chief's interest at a critical period. The jury found that Donald was nearest agnate of William (cousins in the 2nd and 3rd degree), that he had come to the age of 25 years, that he was prudent in the management of his affairs, and able to take care of the administration of the affairs of another, that he was not the next in succession if it should happen Lachlan to decease, and that Lachlan had a sister older than himself. Upon 2nd March, 1563, Donald is appointed, by James, Earl of Moray, bailie over the lordships of Petty and Stratherne. By Catherine Rose, Donald Williamson had two sons, John and Angus, the former dying before his father, the succession opened to the younger son, Angus Williams son, known as Angus "the brazen faced."

Donald married Katherine ROSE, of Kilravock about 1553 in Cullerny, Inverness-shire, Scotland. Katherine (daughter of Lord Hugh ROSE, 9th of Kilravock 9th of Clan Rose and Janet INNES, of Hattoun, relic of Duffus) was born between 1515 and 1525 in Kilravock, Inverness-shire, Scotland; died on 2 Apr 1624 in Scotland, United Kingdom.

• TitleOfNobility: ; Laird of Barclay

Notes:

Walter Barclay, Baron of Gartlie, who was designated " of that Ilk," succeeded his father. The Baron entertained Mary, Queen of Scots at Gartlie Castle, on her return from a visit to Inverness, and she is said to have spent the night there ; a letter from Queen Mary to Queen Elizabeth dated at Gartlie, 24th August 1564, bears out the former fact.
He married Margaret Ogilvy, and by her, who was
living on 6th September 1528, he had issue two sons :
1. GEORGE BARCLAY, his heir.
2. WALTER BARCLAY OF BALLINAGOAK.

Walter married Margaret OGILVY, of Findlater. Margaret (daughter of Alexander OGILVY, 4th of Deskford and Findlater, Lord Ogilvy of Deskford - 1st Earl of Findlater and Lady Janet ABERNETHY, of Abernethy) was born in 1522 in Findlater, Banffshire, Scotland; died after 1602; was buried in Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland.

Notes:

he daughter of Alexander Ogilvie 1st of Findlater married Walter Barclay of Gartly, who died in 1532. After his death, she then married James Gordon 1st of Lesmoir by 1546. Her second husband, James Gordon, did not die until June 1558.

If William Macintosh's wife was named 'Margaret' and the daughter of Alexander Ogilvie of that Ilk, it's impossible to see how Margaret Ogilvy's marriage to William Macintosh could fit into this timeline, since, as stated above, she was still William's wife in 1549, just before his death.

The problem may have arisen in a confusion of Christian names. 'Margaret', 'Mariot', 'Mary', 'Marion' and 'Marjory', for a variety of reasons linked to transcription where more than one language is in use (see Research Notes on Mariot le Chen), are often confused, especially within a family.

An example from another Ogilvy family may help clarify the matter. Sir Walter Ogilvy of Boyne and Christian Keith had two daughters: 'Margaret', married twice, first to John Stewart then to George Barclay; and 'Marjory' married to James Dunbar of Tarbat. Yet we still find, in papers of the Ogilvy family, 'Marjory' also named as 'Margaret':

"1555 October 24
Contract between Walter Ogilvy of Boyne kt and Margaret Ogilvy his daughter on one part, and James Dunbar of Terbert and James Dunbar, his son and apparent heir, on other part, whereby said Margaret is to marry said James younger, before next Easter, etc. Traces of 2 applied seals." (GD248/82/4)

It may be that the woman who married William Macintosh was the subject of a similar confusion
