Mackenzie, Alexander, 1833-1898

"History of the Mackenzies, with genealogies of the principal families of the name"

of Highfield, inherited Applecross from his
uncle John.
5. Anne, who married, first, Alexander Mackenzie, I. of Lentran;
and secondly, as his second wife, Alexander Mackenzie, VIII. of
Davochmaluag, with issue - an only daughter, Anne.
6. Another daughter who married the Rev. John Maclean, minister
of Kintail.
Roderick married, secondly, Margaret, daughter of Sir Kenneth
Mackenzie, first Baronet and IV. of Scatwell, and widow of Aeneas
Macleod of Cadboll, with issue - an only daughter, Elizabeth, who
married Alexander Chisholm, XXII. of Chisholm, with issue - his heir
and others.
He was succeeded by his eldest son,
V. JOHN MACKENZIE, fifth of Applecross, who married Anne, only
daughter of Sir Colin Mackenzie, IV of Coul, without issue. He
willed the estate of Applecross away from his brother Kenneth
[This John, the last of this family, deprived his brother, Kenneth,
of the property, and passed it in favour of Thomas Mackenzie
of Highfield, his sister's son. In order to set aside the legal
succession, and to prevent his brother, Kenneth, from marrying, he
allowed only L80 yearly for his subsistence during his lifetime,
which small allowance made it inadequate for him to rear and support
a family, so that in all probability this has been the cause of
making the family extinct.
