THE MACKENZIES OF GLACK。
THIS family is descended from Roderick； second son of Colin； third son of Murdoch Mackenzie； V。 of Hilton； The issue of Roderick； Hilton's second son； by the daughter of Alexander Mackenzie of Redcastle； and Roderick's eldest brother； has already been proved extinct。 Colin； Murdoch of Hilton's third son； had（1） a son； Alexander； whose male issue died out in 1759； and （2） Roderick； Chamberlain of the Lewis。 This Roderick had three sons（1） John Mackenzie； I。 of Brea； who carried on the male line of Hilton； and whose representative； now in Australia； is head of that family； （2） Colin； and （3） Sir Peter； a Surgeon…General in the army； who died unmarried。 Roderick's second son；
