Isabel; married John Stewart, Knt of Innermeath[3]
Janet; m. Robert Stewart of Rossyth[1][4]
Death

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)
