Married Sidheag MacLeod, daughter of Torquil MacLeod, IV of Lewis.
Donald of the Isles granted a charter to Angus MacKay of Strathnaver
and his son on 8th October 1415 [Notarial copy in the Reay papers (A.
MacKay (1906) p. 376). There is confusion about the date, but Matheson
(TGSI (LI) p. 333, n. 46) thinks 1415 is correct.] which was witnessed by
[his brother-in-law] Roderick [MacLeod, V of Lewis].
!NOTE: There is more than confusion about the date with Matheson. If
Sidheag MacLeod, Angus'' wife, was an ill-treated widow in 1406, then Angus
could not receive a charter in 1415. Date should be 1405,
perhaps? Or perhaps this charter was granted to Angus Dubh MacKay,
this Angus'' son, and to this Angus'' grandson?
