His father here may be incorrect quite possibly it should be Mathan(Mathew).

"Skene's English translation of the genealogy of the Clan Kenneth, as setforth in the manuscript of 1467, beginning with the most recent person inthe pedigree is printed at 485: "Murdoch son of Kenneth son of John sonof Kenneth son of Angus son of Cristin son of Kenneth son of Gilleeoin ogson of Gilleeoin of the Aird." In a note, Skene explains that heregarded the listing of Agad (Adam) in the manuscript as the father ofCristin as a mistake which he corrected by substituting the name ofKenneth, as shown in the Black Book of Clanranald by MacVurich."
