Margaret Maclaren says (page 138):
"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 vatious chieflyhouses, but even for the main royal line awe 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..RR.."

"CELTIC SCOTLAND: A History of Ancient Alban" by William F.Skene, D.C.L.LL.D (Historiographer-Royal For Scotland) Volume III. "Land and People".Second Edition 1890 (First edition was 1880), David Douglas, Edinburgh.
William F.Skene wrote the descent of Highland Clanns based on a 1467manuscript belonging to the Faculty of Advocates, The Book of Ballimote(14th Cent.), Book of Leccan (1407) , Kilbride MS (c 1540), Annals ofUlster (1363), and other old Irish and Scottish manuscripts. Thisdebunked many of the fictitious claims from the 17th-19th Century andalthough very controversial at the time is now generally accepted (withsome minor changes) as the most accurate account.

"The next group is brought from Domnaill Duinn, son of Fearadhach Finn,and consists of the Clan Labhran, or Maclarens, and the Clan Aidh. TheClan Labhran are deduced from an abbot of Achtus, by which no doubtAchtow of Balquhidder, where this clan has its seat is meant, and hispedigree is deduced from Domnall Og, son of Domnaill Duinn. According tothe usual computation, Domnall Oig must be placed in the ninth centuary,thus a contemporary with Kenneth MacAlpin, while his father is madebrother of Fearchar Fada, who died in 697.
