      --
      Alexandee, Robert's eldest son and successor, is mentioned as "of Tordarroch " under dates 23rd August 1692, 26th June 1696, and 17th October 1699,3 and as "of Wester Leys" under date 21st October 1697.4 In an Act of 1698, renewing a Commission granted to the nineteenth chief of Mackintosh for raising Fire and Sword against Coll Macdonald of Keppoch and others, he is erroneously described as " younger " of Tordarroch. As "younger of Tordarroch" he had accompanied Mackintosh in 1679 against the Macdonalds in Brae Lochaber.
      --
      He married Anne, second daughter of Donald Mackintosh of Killachie.
