7。 Elizabeth; who married Thomas Mackenzie; IV。 of Highfield and VI。 of Applecross; with issue。
Donald was succeeded by his eldest surviving son;
VI。 COLIN MACKENZIE; sixth of Kilcoy; who was infeft in the lands of Kilcoy on the 16th of December; 1742。 In 1747 (marriage contract 28th March) he married Martha; eldest daughter of Charles Fraser of Inverallochy; by Anne; daughter of Udney of Udney。
Her eldest brother; Charles; on whom the Lovat Estates were entailed; fell in command of the Clan Fraser at Culloden; and her second brother; William; who had also succeeded to the property of Udney; dying in 1792; the representation of the family of Inverallochy and Castle Fraser devolved upon Martha and her sister Eliza Fraser (who died without issue in 1814)。 Through this marriage; the family of Kilcoy claim to be heirs to the old Earldom of Buchan; conferred in 1469 upon James Stuart; half…brother of James II。; by the second marriage of his mother; Queen Jane; to Sir James Stewart; the Black Knight of Lorn。 In 1617 a Crown charter of Novodamus is granted to the then Countess Mary of Buchan; who married James Erskine (eldest son of John Earl of Mar) with the precedence of the former charter to herself and her husband in life rent and the heirs male of their marriage; whom failing to his nearest heirs male whatsoever。 In 1625 the Earl and Countess had another charter of the Earldom with the same limitation。 In 1633 the charter of 1625; and a decree of 1628 giving the Earldom of Buchan precedence over those of Eglintoun; Montrose; Cassilis; Caithness; and Glencairn; were ratified by Act of Parliament。
These charters make the Kilcoy claim quite hopeless; not because they are not the rightful heirs; but because the Earldom was given in 1617 by charter to the heirs male of James Erskine; though he had no more right to it than he had to the throne itself; beyond having married the Countess Mary of Buchan; now represented by the Mackenzies of Kilcoy。 Nothing can annul a charter but another Crown charter; and as a matter of fact and justice; the Cardross Erskines have no more right to represent and sit as the Earls of Buchan of 1469 than they have to be Kings of Great Britain。 By this lady Kilcoy had issue
