Dear private
From the link which you provided we find the entry for Mary Smith MacLeod's parents:
"14. Donald Smith was born January 1, 1835, to Duncan Smith and Henrietta MacSwane, the second of their nine children. He was a woolen weaver and cottar (peasant farmer). Donald died on October 26, 1868, off the coast Broadbay, Scotland, when a squall of wind overturned his boat.
15. Mary Macauley was born about 1841 in Barvas, Scotland.
Donald Smith and Mary Macauley were married on December 16, 1858, in Garrabost on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. They had the following children:"
We see in the link that you provided that Henrietta McSwane is listed as the mother of Mary MacLeod (Smith) as you mentioned above, but then further down in the page the mother is Mary MacAulay. I expect that it was just the result of confusion when the article was written. Henrietta McSwane is the grandmother of Mary Smith MacLeod (the mother of her father).
