In vol. iii. p. 192, the ancient family of Pigott, of Chetwynd, in Shropshire, of which that of Doddershall is a scion, is so amply detailed, that the present notice need merely refer to the branch immediately before us.

Mr. Malcolm represented Boston in the parliaments of 1826 and 1830. Lineage. This family is the representative, or chief of the clan Challum, or M'Callums, settled according to the traditions of the country from a very early period in Argyleshire, and originally styled the Clan Challum of Ariskeodnish, in which lordship most of their estates are still situated. In the year 1414, Sir Duncan Campbell,* knight of Lochow, granted to REGINALD MALCOLM, laird of Corbarran, certain lands in Craignish and on the banks of Loch Avich, with the office of hereditary constable * Sir Archibald Campbell, knight of Lochow in 1372, had two sons, Colin, surnamed Jongaloch, or the wonderful, and Duncan. Duncan was fostered and brought up by the Clan Challum, or M'Callums of Ariskeodnish, in the parish of Kilmarton, who, in order that the estate might devolve upon their foster-child, Duncan, set fire to the house in the town of Kilmartin, in which his elder brother, Colin, was passing the night. The latter was obliged to fly clothed in complete armour, but before he could effect his escape, and force his way out, his coat of mail had become so heated by the flames, that he was compelled to jump into a pool formed by the windings of the river Skeodnish, which flows at the foot of the of his castles of Lochaffy and Craignish. He died A.D. 1446, and was succeeded by his son, JOHN, who was confirmed in his father's lands and offices, as is evident from a precept bearing date 1st December, 1448. This family, which seems soon after to have declined, appears to have been a branch of that of Poltallock, from the circumstance that the farm of Corbarran, or Corran, then the only remaining portion of their possessions, is said to have been bequeathed by the last of this race, to Zachary, the then proprietor of Poltallock, as his chief or representative of the elder branch of his house. DONALD M'GILLESPIE VIC O'CHALLUM, or Donald, son of Archibald, son of Malcolm, was seized of the lands of Poltallock, A.D. 1562, as appears from a charter bearing date 18th May in that year. He m. Grizell, daughter of Stirling, of Kippendavie, and had a son, DUNCAN M'DONALD, M'GILLESPIE, Vic O'Challum, who succeeded his father A. D. 1609. He m. a daughter of Neill Campbell, Bishop of Argyle, and had a son, Donald killed, v. p. A. D. 1647, when fighting in single combat with Alaster M'Col, surnamed Colkitto, at Ederline.† eminence on which Kilmartin stands, which pool is pointed out by the Highlanders to this day, and called in Gaelic, Linna Licrach, or the Pool of the Coat of Mail. A battle took place May 25th, A. D. 1647, at Ederline, where Alaster and his men fought with their accustomed bravery. Among the most conspicuous men on the parliamentary side was Zachary, Uad Donald, More of Poltallock, famed for his great strength, and skill in the use of the broadsword. In the heat of the engagement Alaster met Donald, when he exclaimed, "You once made me your guest, yield, and this night be mine." "Let either of us gain the day," was Poltallock's answer, as he rushed on his foe. Duncan died A. D. 1648, and was succeeded by his nephew, DUGALD MALCOLM, or M'Callum, of Poltallock, and Pellrion, in Jamaica. He died without issue in 1785, and was s. by his cousin, The REV. ARCHIBALD M'CALLUM, of Poltallock, minister of Kilmichael Glasrie, son of the Rev.

In 1687 we find him addressed as Laird of Poltallock, and baillie of Glasrie in a writ directed to him out of chancery for holding an inquest for ascertaining the value of the lands of Otter, then confiscated by JAMES II. He purchased the property of Knorkaton, with the proceeds, it is said, of the farm of Corbarran, or Corran, left to him, as before stated, by Malcolm, of Corbarran. He m. Janet, daughter of M'Lachlan, of Innischonnell, and dying in 1692, was succeeded by his son, ARCHIBALD MCULLUM, of Poltallock, who, in 1697, sold his paternal estate to his uncle Donald, and emigrated to Ireland, where his line has since become extinct.
