      Birth and Family

      John was born about 1335,[1] the son of Alan MacDougal and an (unknown) wife.[2]
      Marriage and Children

      He married sometime before 1362 Joanna Isaac, a daughter of Thomas Isaac and Matilda de Brus.[1] There were two daughters from this marriage:

      Isabel; married John Stewart, Knt of Innermeath[3]

      Janet; m. Robert Stewart of Rossyth[1][4]

      Death

      John most likely died in or shortly after 1371, but certainly before September 1372 when his wife Joanna remarried.[2] The last time his name appeared on any official record was 12 October 1371 when Mariota, the widow of Ewen M'Yuar, mortgaged her lands to "John MacAlan, lord of Lorn" for forty pounds sterling.[5]
      Research Notes

      Illegitimate Son?

      Sellars identifies Alan MacDougal, the ancestor of the MacDougals of Dunollie, as a natural son of John MacDougal, the subject of this profile.[6]. Douglas Richardson has refuted this claim, and identified Alan as the younger brother of John MacDougal,[1] making the MacDougals of Dunollie of legitimate descent. Noted Scottish historian Andrew MacEwen concurred with Richardson.[1] Stevens-17832 16:27, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
