I don't specifically know of this family, but I descend from a Glenurquhart McIntosh.  There is a yDNA project for Glenurquhart McIntoshs and we find so far 7 of us group into 2 separate McIntosh families.  The yDNA test requires a male to be tested.  If you have a male McIntosh relative who was willing to participate I would pay for a 37 marker yDNA test with FamilyTreeDNA.  If you would like more information contact me with a personal message

Thanks Looby
You could well be right. He certainly lived to a good age.  I hope Shemac is still following this thread.
