Anne Duff, Dowager Lady Mackintosh

d. 1750

Wife to Lachlan Mackintosh, twentieth of Mackintosh. Second cousin (by marriage) to Angus Mackintosh, twenty-second of Mackintosh (Alexander Mackintosh Shaw, Historical Memoirs, pp. 445, 470-72, 487). Prisoners of the '45 names Anne, daughter of Colin Mackenzie of Redcastle, as the Dowager (vol. 3, pp. 100-101); she was mother to Angus Mackintosh, twenty-second of Mackintosh, but her husband was never Chief, so it is unlikely she would be referred to as the Dowager Lady Mackintosh (Ruvigny, Jacobite Peerage, p. 99). Fairney ("Petticoat Patronage," Appendix I) identifies Christian Menzies as the Dowager, but, according to Mackenzie, Menzies was the wife of Angus's brother and predecessor as Chief; she predeceased her husband and was not alive at the time of the Rising (Historical Memoirs, pp. 450-51).
