eft issue; of whom; however; we know nothing。 (6) Roderick; William's immediate younger brother; and third son of the same Kenneth Mackenzie; III。 of Dundonnel; who was also married; with issue; but whether extinct or not we cannot say。 (7) Captain Simon; who was married and died in Nairn in 1812; but of his descendants; if any; we at present know nothing。 (8) Captain Lewis; who died in India; probably; unmarried; but this has not been conclusively established; and (9) Thomas; second son of Thomas; VI。 of Dundonnel; who in early life emigrated to California; and regarding whom nothing has since been heard。 If he is still alive or has left any surviving male issue the late John Hope Mackenzie could not have succeeded as head of the family; and Thomas; or his male heir; if now in life; occupies that position; and on the failure of the Mackenzies of Allangrange; he or his representative will become Chief of the Mackenzies。 Failing Thomas; or his male heirs; that honour would fall to the heirs male; if any; of each of the eight others mentioned; in the inverse order in which their names are here set forth。
