Patrick’s son, Malcolm, was compelled by the Campbells to sell the lands of Auchinrevach in Strathfillan to Campbell of Glenorchy, who thus obtained the first footing in Breadalbane, which afterwards gave the title of earl to his family.

-"If they rob us of name and pursue us with Beagles,
Give their roofs to the flame and their flesh to the Eagles;
Then Gather, Gather, Gather;
While there's leaves in the forest and foam on the river,
MacGregor, despite them, shall flourish forever!"
MacGregor saying
-Tutor to Glenstrae and leader of the clan 1528-1545. Probably should have become the rightful chief of Clan Gregor in 1519 when Ian the Black died, but the Campbells promoted instead the chieftain of Clan Dougal Ciar.

Spouse: Lady Marion Mac Donald (1600-1678)
Child: William MackGayhe
NOTE:
-He was the 3rd chieftan of the Clan of the Children of the Mist (the sect that had been dispossessed of their lands and name). This has also been called the Ladassach line.
-Patrick MacGregor of Ardchoille (called Aberach after his father), Chieftain of the Children of the Mist and is also said to have fought under Montrose at Kilsyth in 1645. He would, of course have been subordiante to the other Patrick who was his Chief. He married Marion MacDonald of Auchatrichatan in Glencoe member of the family of the MacDonalds of Glencoe and, perhaps, a distant relative of the MacDonalds of Sleat. By her, with other children, he had two sons---- Iain, his heir, and James who settled in Virginia and was your ancestor. I am directly descended from his elder brother, Iain, as a matter of interest. In the latter half of the 16th century, this branch of the Clan led such wild and hunted lives in the misty mountains that they became know as MacEagh or "Sons of the Mist." It may be that it is from this Gaelic patronym that James MacGregor took the name MacGehee (McGehee Descendants by E C W Grider quoting Sir Gregor MacGregor).
