She was one of the four scor widows who, by haveing posthume sons, restored the name of Fraser, almost extinct by killing of their husbands, as aforesaid. What his tocher was, I find not, only I find a receipt of eleaven merks Scots, in compleat payment of his tocher. This Kathrine Rose, after the deceass of John Fraser, her first husband, maried Donald M'Intosh Williamson, by whom she was mother to Angus M'Intosh, (called Williamson also,) a verie wittie and dareing man, predecessor to the present M'Intosh of Kylachie."

John MACKINTOSH, of Cullerny (1.Katherine1) was born about 1554 in Cullerny, Inverness-shire, Scotland; died before 1576 in Cullerny, Inverness-shire, Scotland.
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...

Angus-mac-William married Lady Marjorie Falconer DUNBAR, of Durris about 1569 in Petty, Inverness-shire, Scotland. Marjorie was born about 1556 in Durris, Aberdeenshire, Scotland; died about 1572 in Petty, Inverness-shire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
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.

William was served heir to his father in Kyllachy 30 June 1631, and by charter from Lord Moray of 21 Dec. following he acquired a feu of the adjacent land of Morilmor and Morilbeg. In 1637 he also obtained from Lord Moray a charter of the half land of Culclachie, on the Nairn, while from his uncle Alexander, who had no family, he obtained the feu of Aldourie.
His name occurs frequently in Acts of Parliament and other documents and in the Kinrara MS. between 1630 and 1669; and it will be remembered that he was one of the leaders of the expedition for the capture of James Grand of Carron in 1630. He is excepted from the Act of Indemnity after the Restoration, and fined ?3600.

Robert, son of Angus, is the first of his line mentioned by the surname of Shaw, his father being called in the Valuation Eoll and elsewhere " Angus mac Bean," that is "son of Bean." The first mention we find of Bobert is as witness? with Lachlan Mackintosh of Kinrara, brother of the eighteenth chief of Mackintosh and author of the MS.

Again, as Robert Shaw portioner of Leys he is named a Commissioner of Supply for the county of Inverness in an Act of Parliament of 7th June 1690 ; and, also as portioner of Leys, his name appears in the Valuation Boll of Inverness-shire in 1691, where his portion is valued at ?96 13s. Scots. In this roll, Tordarroch is set down under the Laird of Mackintosh, the superior. Robert died in 1691, leaving three sons
