Æneas Mackay (1838-1909) 

Æneas, baron Mackay, was a Dutch statesman of Scottish descent. He was Prime Minister of The Netherlands from 1888 to 1891. Æneas was born on 29 November 1838 in Nijmegen in The Netherlands. On 7 July 1869 in Nijmegen he married Elisabeth Wilhelmina (1844-1907), barones van Lynden. Æneas died on 13 november 1909 in The Hague. He had one son, Eric, baron Mackay, who inherited the Scottish peerage Lord Reay from his great-granduncle. Eric's son, Æneas Alexander Mackay (1905-1963), 13th Lord Reay, was at 205½ cm (6'9") nicknamed “the tallest peer”.

Æneas had a brother Theodoor Philip Mackay (1840-1922) who was mayor of Amerongen and Leersum. Later he was a member of the Dutch House of Representatives for a period of 15 years. Theodoor’s son, Daniël baron Mackay, was mayor of Voorburg, Medan, Enkhuizen and Meppel.
Their parents are jonkheer Johan François Hendrik Jacob Ernestus Mackay (1807-1846) and his wife jonkvrouw Margaretha Clara Françoise (1810-1869) van Lynden. They had 3 sons and 4 daughters, but their youngest daughter died young. 
Johan predeceased his father Barthold Johan Christiaan (1773-1854), baron Mackay. On 20 February 1816 Christiaan was elevated to the Dutch nobility. By royal decree of 4 June 1922 Christiaan was granted the title of baron with right of primogeniture. Christiaan's wife is jonkvrouw Anna Magdalena Frederica Henriette van Renesse (1775-1839).

Christiaan is a younger son of Æneas Mackay (1734-1807) and Ursulina Philippina van Haeften (1734-1793). Her parents are Barthold van Haeften and Margriet van Lynden (1700-1761).
Æneas is a son of Daniël AKA Donald Mackay (1696-1745) and Arnolda Margeretha van den Steen (1702-1782). Daniël was the first Dutch Mackay. He was baptised in Tiel in The Netherlands on 20 September 1696. He was a colonel in the Scottish Brigade, and died in battle on 18 May 1745 near Doornik in the Southern Netherlands.
Daniël’s father is Scotsman Æneas Mackay (1666-1697). On 29 January 1692 in Varik Æneas married a Dutch girl, Margaretha Puchler (1671-1761). Æneas died in Bath, England, on 20 May 1697. Æneas' parents are Ann Munroo and Donald Mackay.
That Donald's grandfather, Donald Mackay of Strathnaver, went to London with his uncle Sir Rober Gorden, and was knighted in 1616 by King James I & VI of England and Scotland. In 1627 Donald was elevated as Baronet of Nova Scotia. By patent dated 20 June 1628, he was elevated to Baron Reay of Reay in the Peerage of Scotland.
