James Mor was married to Annabel MacNicol, but their marriage is not documented in the OPR,

The Foss tree in NL43 included a male line descent to a family in South Africa in the present day from an undocumented 'Roderick'. There is no obvious link to the Roderick MacGregor and Margaret Cockburn who married in Nairn on 19th Jan 1788.

A genealogy printed in Clan Gregor Society Newsletter, no 43 in 1997 from Joseph Foss, claimed his descent from Donald, the third child, through a James in Kilmallie.

The birth of Annabell McNicol is not recorded, however, Ronald Black quotes a letter from Nicol MacNicol, brother-in-law of James Mor, which was found in Inverness after Culloden by Campbell of Airds, addressed to Major James McGrigor of the Duke of Perth's regiment.

The Clan MacFarlane genealogy lists 14 children for James Mor, but apart from the six legitimate children shown above registered in the Killin OPR, they do not offer source references for any of them.
