Notes - 2nd Chief (c.1344-1373): Malcolm, was designated "Macfarlane" as the son of Pharlan; hence the surname of the family which his posterity have enjoyed ever since. He obtained from his cousin. Donald, 6th Earl of Lennox, a confirmation of the said lands and islands, "in as ample a manner as his predecessors held the same, as the charter itself, yet extant expressly bears," granted about the year 1344. Malcolm married, but who the lady was is not known. By her he had a son, Duncan.
