of Glack, with
issue.
6. Janet, who married Captain John Mackenzie Woodlands, son of
George Mackenzie, II. of Gruinard, without issue.
Sir Alexander had also a natural daughter, Janet, who married John
Macpherson, Gairloch, with issue.
The second Lady Mackenzie of Gairloch, Jean Gorry, died in 1766,
probably at the birth of her last daughter, Janet, who was born on
the 14th of October in that year, and Sir Alexander himself died
on the 15th of April, 1770. He was buried in Gairloch, and was
succeeded by his eldest son,
XI. SIR HECTOR MACKENZIE, the fourth Baronet, generally spoken
of among Highlanders as "An Tighearna Storach," or the Buck-toothed
Laird. Being a minor, only twelve years of age when he succeeded,
his affairs were managed by the following trustees appointed by his
father - John Gorry; Provost Mackenzie of Dingwall, and Alexander
Mackenzie, W.S., son and grandson respectively of Charles Mackenzie,
I. of Letterewe; and Alexander Mackenzie, of the Stamp Office,
London, son of William Mackenzie of Davochcairn. These gentlemen did
not get on so harmoniously as could be wished in the management
of the estate. The first three opposed the last-named, who was
supported by Sir Hector and by his grandfather and his uncle of
Redcastle.
