As yet I do not have any information about John Mackellar. I have ascertained that there are several possible John Mackellars who could be the father of Duncan but have not yet established which. The two most likely are the John Mackellar who married Mary Mackellar in 1766 in Kilmodan, and in May 1775 in Greenock Middle (because there seems to be a strong family connection with Greenock as well). There is also a marriage of a John and Mary Mackellar in Inverary and Glenaray in 1753 (rather early) and in Lochgoilhead in 1775. There are also two marriages of people with these names in 1796 (too late).
Here is a list of children born to John and Mary Mackellar in Kilmodan between 1766 and 1800. I would assume that these are not all born to the same couple! The only other children born to a couple of that name during that period were in Glassary and South Knapdale, some distance away.
Here are their children but for the later ones, not sure which of the two couples they were born to (or perhaps another John-Mary Mackellar couple anyway!):
