I can photograph this for you next time I am there - it should contain a death cert, a will  and details of heirs.

Hi, 
Archibald (born 10/6/1771 died 1841), remained in Keppock, near Broadford, Isle of Skye. He did not go with the other members of his family because of his engagement to a woman named Susan Robertson. During or about the year 1802 Archibald Macdonald and Susan Robertson were married and their interests were carried on for them in land and estates in America for some considerable time, as they had received letters to that effect. Finally, the great Southern War of America deprived landowners of their estates and made poor men of many who had been well off before. Grandson Norman says Not many acres and I understand he had to work very hard to maintain his large family
Although Archibald and his wife always entertained the idea of sailing for America it was never fulfilled and they lived their life in Skye and reared a virile and cheerful family of 4 sons and 6 daughters
(Written by W.B. Macdonald, 45 Perkin St. Newcastle, ( Australia), Dec. 9, 1939)
their first child was John The Elder who married Margaret McInnes and came to Australia with 2 children, a third being born shortly after arrival.  She Died 2 years later and he remarried Ann Gillies in Morpeth.  They later moved to the Manning River.  They had 9 children together.  John Allen was the 3rd of these.  John Allen married Annie Burns in 1874.  their children
