Grace... Died unmarried. [According to Simon Fraser MacKintosh''s
STEWART GENEALOGY (MS.) and Burke''s DICTIONARY OF THE LANDED
GENTRY (1850, I, p. 552), Anne Stewart. who married Richard Hay of
Newhall, with issue, the seven children listed above, was the ''only''
daughter of Anne MacLeod of Drynoch and her husband, John Stewart,
bailie of Inverness. Dr. William MacKay of Inverness, in his SIDELIGHTS
ON HIGHLAND HISTORY (pp. 178ff), states that the bailie''s ships, which
numbered ''about a dozen'', were ''almost all named after members of his
family''. One, the ALEXANDER, bore his father''s name. The JOHN was
named after himself, and the ANN after his wife. The MARJORIE, the
MARGARET, the HELEN, the JANET, the AGNES and the CHRISTIAN ''tell'',
writes Dr. MacKay, ''of the daughters who sat by his fireside''. If Dr.
MacKay is correct, then Anne MacLeod and the bailie must have had six
daughters in addition to Anne, making his family by Anne MacLeod, his
second wife, number sixteen--nine sons and seven daughters. If the
additional daughters really existed, they must have died young and
unmarried.
