Angus McDonnell                           1821-1855
  Angus was born about 1821, the son of Donald MacDonell and Ann McDonald, at Kilmore, Argyllshire, Scotland.
  Angus was known by many as the 20th Chief of THE MCDONALDS OF KEPPOCH.   The founder of this warlike family was Alastair, third son of John of the Isles, by his second wife, Lady Margaret, daughter of King Robert II, of Scotland.   From the time of Robert II, to the time of Prince Charles Stuart, a space of nearly 500 years, the McDonalds of Keppoch were always distinguished.   To read more history of this family, scan this lecture by Rev. Dr. McDonald, from 1884
