1。 George Alexander； who became the representative of the family on the death of his father。
2。 Thomas； who emigrated to California； and of whose issue； if any； nothing is known。
3。 John Hope； who for some time resided at Tarradale House； Ross…shire。
4。 Helen； who married the Hon。 Justice Charles Henry Stewart of Ceylon； without issue。
5。 Isabella； who resided in Elgin； unmarried。
Thomas was succeeded as representative of the family by his eldest son
VII。 GEORGE ALEXANDER MACKENZIE； who； on the death of his father； became head of the original Mackenzies of Dundonnel； although the estates had been sold to another family。 He married Louisa； daughter of Captain Stewart of the Celyon Rifles； without issue。 If his next brother； who went to California； survived George Alexander； then； on his death； he
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。 （6） Roderick； William's immediate younger brother； and third son of the same Kenneth Mackenzie； III。 of Dundonnel； who was also married； with issue； but whether extinct or not we cannot say。 （7） Captain Simon； who was married and died in Nairn in 1812； but of his descendants； if any； we at present know nothing。 （8） Captain Lewis； who died in India； probably； unmarried； but this has not been conclusively established； and （9） Thomas； second son of Thomas； VI。 of Dundonnel； who in early life emigrated to California； and regarding whom nothing has since been heard。 If he is still alive or has left any surviving male issue the late John Hope Mackenzie could not have succeeded as head of the family； and Thomas； or his male heir； if now in life； occupies that position； and on the failure of the Mackenzies of Allangrange； he or his representative will become Chief of the Mackenzies。 Failing Thomas； or his male heirs； that honour would fall to the heirs male； if any； of each of the eight others mentioned； in the inverse order in which their names are here set forth。
