Biography

Charles held a tack at Ardnacross on Mull. He was invariably spoken of as Tearlach Mac Ailein, or Terlach Mac Allan. Charles bought land at Drimin for his eldest son, Allan, from the Earl of Argyle.

Tearlach was married to Mary, daughter of Allan of Ardgour, and they had nine or ten children.

1. Allan of Drimnin, who married Mary, daughter of Cameron of Callart
2. Lachlan of Calgary, who married Florence, daughter of Farquhar Fraser
3. Allan of Grulin, who married Una MacQuarrie of Ulva.
4. Donald of Aros, who married Catharine, daughter of Donald Macquarie of Ulva
5. Hector, who married Jannette, daughter of Hector Roy Maclean of Coll
6. Ewen, who married Una, daughter of Archibald Maclean of Ardtun
7. Anna, who married Alexander MacDonald of Kinlochmoidart
8. Florance, who married John Macquarie of Lagan-Ulva and secondly Captain Andrew Maclean of Knock in Morvern
9. Margaret
10. Mary, who married Hugh Cameron, esq. of Lochiel

Charles appears to have been still living in December 1680, as shown by this passage from The Clan Gillean: "We meet with Terlach Mac Allan and all his sons, except Allan of Drimnin, in Cairnburgh Castle in December, 1680."
