The Mackinnons had been declining prior to 1745, while their neighbour, Sir Alexander Macdonald, a man, as we have shown, of great wealth and wordly wisdom, was on the watch to extend his already extensive bounds. John Dhu Mackinnon succeeded about 1712, and, marrying a daughter of Archbishop Sharpe, had a son, John Og, who predeceased his father, dying without issue in 1737. [Ed: Penelope Sharp, d/o Sir William Sharp 1st Bt Scotscraig (died 1712), s/o Archbishop James Sharp (1618-1678) so actually, Penelope Sharp was a granddaughter of Archbishop James Sharp.  Penelope Sharp married, as his first wife, John Dubh Mackinnon (died 1755) and their son John Og Mackinnon (died 1737) married 1727 Margaret Macleod of Ulinish, and had two daughters, Helen, and Margaret. Margaret Macleod of Ulinish was John Og's second marriage.
