Anne Farquharson was the daughter of Margaret Murray, and John Farquharson of Invercauld. Her husband, Aeneas (Angus), whom she married in 1741, was chief of the clan Mackintosh and a captain in the Black Watch regiment.
She was 22 years old at the time of the 1745 Jacobite Rising. While her husband was away on military service, his wife raised his relatives and tenants in support of Prince Charles Edward Stewart. She handed over command of the 300-strong Lady Mackintosh’s Regiment to her husband’s cousin, Alexander MacGillivray of Dunmaglass.
