Anne Mackintosh

Anne Mackintosh (1723–1787) was a Scottish Jacobite leader, who was daughter to the Chief of Clan Farquharson and the wife of Angus Mackintosh, Chief of the Clan Mackintosh. She was one of very few (apparent) female military leaders during the Jacobite rising of 1745 and the first female to hold the rank of colonel in Scotland.[1][2]
