The trust Macintosh placed in his son in law was, however, misplaced. In 1810 (or possibly 1816) Macintosh was forced to supply a codicil to his will, &#8220;revoking and annulling&#8221; Alexander&#8217;s claim and role. Alexander, it seems, had &#8220;abandoned his wife and family and Country in a manner highly disreputable and offensive without having had the least provocation&#8221;. With four children to raise alone, Macintosh appointed his daughter &#8220;sole heiress of all and whatsoever I may die possessed of in the first place for her own subsistence and the maintenance and education of her four Children&#8221;. Macintosh&#8217;s will and codicil were proved at London on\u00a013 April 1816.
