Apparently this has been sitting in my drafts for like 5 years!
A.M. Mackintosh makes the statement that since Robert Mackintosh signed (Oct 1756) the reclaiming of the Laggan lands to the Mackintosh Chief, that since he's "eldest son in life of the deceased Lachlan Mackintosh of Strone", it must mean, that the two sons of James Mackintosh of Strone, William and Angus are deceased. But we see in #817 that William Mackintosh, eldest lawful son to the deceased James Mackintosh of Strone was a present during Ann MacQueen's disposition, so they must still be alive. We can refer to A.M. Mackintosh from an earlier history by Rev. Lachlan Shaw (unfortunately that history is missing) that James died in Jamaica, we must conclude that after the battle of Culloden, James was sent to Jamaica and died before 1756. One can only imagine what happened to William and Angus, and the other children on Robert and Anne: Lachlan, William, Anne and Christian. They are not mentioned anywhere, and the Original Parish records for Inverness have been lost before the 1790's mostly.

For some reason, this has been in the drafts for five years, oops.
I am curious how Robert obtained his title to Termit. The previous holder was Alexander McIntosh (b.1682), son of James McIntosh and grandson of William McIntosh of Kyllachy and Isabel Farquharson of Invercauld.
