Historical and genealogical account of the Clan Maclean

330 BIOGRAPHICAL AND
MACLEANS OF MORVERN.
The founder of this branch was Ian or John
Dubh of Morvern, second son of the first Hector
Mor chief of Maclean and Mary daughter of
Alister Mac-Ian-Chathanich Macdonald of Isla ;
he had Morvern given him by his father in life-
rent. He was very active in assisting his nephew
Sir Lauchlan Mor against Eachan Mac Allan
na Sop, and against the Macdonalds, till he was
taken by Angus Macdonald of Isla in com-
pany with Lauchlan Mor in Kintyre, and was
beheaded. He was thrice married ; first, to
Margaret daughter of Eachuinn or Hector Mac-
Ian, laird of Coll, by whom he had one son,
Donald Glas, who lost his life in the explosion
of the Florida in Tobermory Bay in the year
1588 : — secondly, to Catherine daughter of John
Gorm the first Campbell of Lochnell. By her he
had Allan, first Maclean of Ardtornish : — thirdly,
to Margaret daughter of Campbell of Ardintenny,
by whom he had two sons, John Garve and
Charles. Allan Maclean of Ardtornish, at the
age of sixteen, began to molest Mac-Ian of
Ardnimorchuan for being instrumental in his
father's death, and pressed old Macdonald so,
that he was at last glad to be reconciled to the
young warrior at any cost : he gave Allan his
daughter in marriage, with a considerable dowry.
Allan of Ardtornish was a constant follower of
Sir Lachlan Mor in all his military exploits. By
