There were a couple of items in error. I fixed them. Angus is not a child of Alexander Baronet McConnell and Agnus was not Alexander's wife. I still think Katherine Mackintosh was Alexander Antrium McConnell's wife. Too many Alexanders. Katherine was also known as Margaret see https://www.thepeerage.com/p45054.htm#i450531 . I don't know where they get their sources, but mistakes can happen anywhere. It also says Katherine married Robert Farquharson 1st of Finzean, son of Donald Farquharson 1st of Monaltrie and Janet Ogilvy. They had 6 children.

I am going by what the peerage had to say. https://www.thepeerage.com/p64110.htm#i641093 Could be wrong for all I know but that's where I got the info.

The Peerage says " Angus 'M'Connell Vic Angus' Macdonald was born illegitimately. He was the son of Donald Macdonald, 8th of Glengary and Morar and Helen Grant. A contract for the marriage of Angus 'M'Connell Vic Angus' Macdonald and Katherine Mackintosh was signed on 24 April 1590. He died before 17 March 1607 at Kyleskin, Isle of Skye, Scotland, killed by the Mackenzies."

Thus it agrees he was not son to Alexander Baronet McConnell. However the Peerage then says he was son to Helen Grant which is obviously erroneous as he was illegitimate. It is further in error as the contract of 24 April 1590 clearly names Margaret MackIntosh as the future wife of Angus. See National Records of Scotland GD176/153. Her sister Katherine married Donald MacDonald of Glengarry as his third wife and thus Mackintosh-644 should be merged with MacIntosh-92. I find The Peerage a very unreliable secondary source.

This is very confused he was son to Donald MacDonald of Glengarry and was known as young Glengarry. He died about 1602 - 1607 in a feud in north west Scotland not Ayrshire. He married Margaret the sister of Katherine MacIntosh, Katherine was his step mother.

Angus was betrothed to Margaret MacIntosh in April 1590 while they were still children at that time he was less than 15 but probably older than 5.
