BIOGRAPHICAL
AND
GENEALOGICAL ACCOUNT.
House of Duart j or the Race of Chiefs.
The principal family seats of the chiefs of
Maclean were Duart and Aros Castles in Mull,
Castle-Gillean in Kerrara on the coast of Lorn,
and Ardtornish Castle in Morvern. There is no
authentic record of the race's settlement in Mull
beyond Rath the father of Gillean, but it is
probable they held possessions there from a very
remote period. The race undoubtedly had its
origin from the ancient Celtic sovereigns of
Ireland ; at least it is so testified by the most
approved authorities I have met with. Those
authorities trace the descent thus : —
Aonaghus-Turmhi-Teamhrach, one of the ancient
sovereigns of Ireland, had a son named Fiachri.
Fiachri was father of Oil ion-Erin.
Ollion-Erin was the father of Ferghis.
Ferghis the father of Fershie.
Ferghie the father of Manna-M6r.
Manna-Mor was father of Earngheal.
Earngheal the father of Roihtren.
