Notes |
- Margaret Maclaren says:
"The names from Lorn Mor to John (c1400) are taken from the genealogy ofClan Lawren quoted by Skene (Celtic, Vol. III, p 483) from a MS of 1467based on a genealogy in the Book of Ballymote and from other medievalgenealogies. Skene considers the genealogy reliable from Donald Og(contemporary of Kenneth MacAlpine) onwards. The derivation from Lord Moris sound, as are most of the names, but for the period before 800 thedifferent sources for the genealogies not only of the various chieflyhouses, but even for the main royal line are confused and oftencontradictory. The line given is that which seems the most probable.
The genealogy quoted by Shene ends about 1380-1400 with the names of thethree brothers, John, Donald and Anichol Og, and so far no referenceshave come to light to supply the missing names between John and PatrickMor whose testament, recorded in the Dunblane Commissariat, shows that hedied in 1544..."
