!MARRIAGES: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon, and Alick Morrison, MACLEOD
CHIEFS OF HARRIS AND DUNVEGAN, Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society,
1969, p. 31.
Alexandra MacLeod and her husband, Charles MacKinnon of MacKinnon,
became separated in 1790. The Clan historian, Alexander Mackenzie,
says she went to Italy, became a Roman Catholic and died in a convent in
that country. [HISTORY OF THE MACLEODS, p. 153. MacKenzie is wrong in
stating that Alexandra MacLeod''s daughter''s name was Penelope. Her
name was Mary Emilia as given above.] There does not seem to be any
substance in his statements, for there is documentary evidence [see
Alexandra MacLeod''s Will in Somerset House, London] that, on 7th June
1810, she was living near Halstead, Essex, England. Charles MacKinnon
died under tragic circumstances at Dalkeith early in February 1789. [THE
CHIEFS AND CHIEFSHIP OF CLAN MACKINNON, pp. 25-7.]
