He was created a Baronet. He died unmarried, the last
direct heir male of the family, and was buried in the St. Clement's
aisle of the old Church of Dingwall.
THE MACKENZIES OF KERNSARY.
THIS family is descended from the Mackenzies of Fair-burn, the last
of the male line of the original Kernsary Mackenzies having, as
already shown, been killed at the battle of Auldearn in 1645,
when his sister carried the lineal representation of that family
to the Mackenzies of Sand.
The descent of the second family is as follows - Murdoch Mackenzie,
I. of Fairburn, married as his second wife Mary, daughter of
Roderick MacFarquhar Maclean, with issue along with two other sons
and daughters -
RODERICK MACKENZIE of Knockbaxter, in the vicinity of Dingwall.
He married Aegidia, daughter of Bayne of Tulloch (sasine 1636),
with issue - (1) the Rev. Murdoch Mackenzie, who married a daughter
of MacCulloch of Park; (2) Kenneth, who married a daughter of the
Rev. John Mackenzie, Cromarty; and (3)-
I. THE REV. RODERICK MACKENZIE, who was minister of Gairloch
from 1649 to 1710. Sir James Dixon Mackenzie of Findon says
distinctly that Roderick was "ancestor of Kernsary," ["Genealogical
Tables of the Mackenzies," Sheet 5.
