genealogy. The information contained below may be out of order due to the fact that it has been gathered

from several sources and many times contained no dates. The Mackintosh's of Kyllachy appear to be , at least in part, the same individuals as listed for the Mackintosh chiefs or perhaps more properly decendants of the lesser sons of these Mackintosh chiefs. Perhaps in time will will know for sure.

The eldest cadet branch of the clan Mackintosh was the family of Kyllachy, a small estate in Inverness-shire, acquired by them in the 17th century. Of this branch was the celebrated Sir James Mackintosh. His father, Captain John Mackintosh, was the tenth in descent from Allan, third son of Ferquhard, ninth chief of the clan. Mackintosh of Kyllachy, as the appointment of captain of the watch to the chief of the clan in all his wars.

The Mackintosh family of Kyllachy are decended from Allan, the 3rd son of Ferquhard, the 9th chief of Mackintosh of Mackintosh, and 10th chief of Clan Chattan who married Jill the daughter of Sir Alexander Innes the 9th of that Ilk.

Alan was also the progenitor of the families of Mackintoshs in Dalmigavie, Holme and of Farr. Farquhar, Alan's father, abdicated from his clan and gave up the claims of his sons to succeed as chiefs after just two years as chief.

The chiefship, of Clan Mackintosh of Mackintosh and those of Clan Chattan, along with the titles and estates passed to Ferquhard's uncle Malcolm, son of William the 7th chief by his second marriage. Ferquhard's son Lachlan kept only the lands of Kyllachy and Corrnuvoy in Strathdearn, which his family held for the next two hundred years.
