	The Scottish Heraldry Forum Message
		Sir Allan Napier Macnab was grandson of the 5th son of the 14th Chief; he was created a baronet 1856 in the lifetime of his kinsman Archibald, 17th Chief, who died 1860, hence his arms were differenced.
		Sir Allan died 1862 and could probably have proved his succession as Chief as next heir male.
		In any event Sarah died without issue in 1894 and Lyon's decision in 1954 was in favour of heirs male. So Sir Allan probably ought to have been Chief, but he would have been so for only two years before he died leaving no heir male of his body.
