Maybe not Lochiel's marriage, but Ewen's aunt married to some of Lochiel's near relatives, or Ewen's grandmother being an aunt or great-aunt of Lochiel's? (with 'by marriage' meaning 'on the distaff side' here). They could be related in several different ways, given the limited size of the "dating pool" in the 17th and 18th century Highlands.
