V。 JOHN FALCONER MACKENZIE； fifth of Allangrange； who died unmarried in 1849； when he was succeeded by his next brother；
VI。 JAMES FOWLER MACKENZIE； now of Allangrange； Chief of the Mackenzies； and heir male to the dormant honours and ancient titles of the historic family of Kintail and Seaforth。 He is still unmarried； and it is much to be feared that after his death and that of his brother； George； who is without issue male； the Chiefship of this great Clan may go a…begging。 The only member of the family whose male representation has not been proved extinct is Kenneth； third son of Simon； I。 of Allangrange； born about two hundred years ago； and of whom or of his descendants； if any； nothing is known for two centuries。 And trace of them is now scarcely within the region of possibility； even if in existence； which is extremely improbable。
The Hon。 Simon Mackenzie of Lochslinn； seventh son of Kenneth； first Lord Mackenzie of Kintail； had by his first wife； three other sonsThomas Mackenzie； I。 of Loggie； John Mackenzie； I。 of Inchcoulter or Balcony and Colin Mackenzie； Clerk to the Privy Council； but the male issue of all three has been proved extinct。 He； however； married again； and it is among the descendants of the second marriage that the Chiefship of the Clan must be sought for should the heirs male of Allangrange at any time fail。

VIII。 THOMAS MACKENZIE； would have succeeded as head of his house； and failing him and his descendants； if any； the representation of the old Mackenzies of Dundonnel would have fallen to JOHN HOPE MACKENZIE； third son of Thomas； VI。 of Dundonnel and last proprietor of the family estates。 He married Louisa； daughter of Captain Stewart of the Ceylon Rifles； widow of his deceased brother； George Alexander； without issue； and died in London in 1892。
The only members of this family whose descendants can ever now by any possibility succeed to the Chiefship should it pass from the Mackenzies of Allangrange are （1） Alexander； second son of Kenneth Mor； first of Dundonnel； but of him there is no trace for more than two hundred years； and never likely to be。 （2） Simon； Alexander's youngest brother； of whom nothing has been heard during the same period。 （3） Captain Alexander； of the 73rd Regiment； second son of Kenneth Mackenzie； II。 of Dundonnel； who died； probably unmarried； in 1783。 In any case there is nothing known of any descendants。 （4） Kenneth； W。S。； second son of Kenneth Mackenzie； III。 of Dundonnel； who died in 1790； and is not known to have been married。 （5） William； third son of the same Kenneth； an Episcopalian minister； who was married； and left issue； of whom； however； we know nothing。
