"But if Christina Barclay was the second wife of James Grant of Freuchie, there is no clear evidence as to his first wife. In some published pedigrees he is said to have married, first, Lady Janet Leslie, who, however, as will be shown, was the second wife of his son, John Grant, the fourth Laird of Freuchie. Lachlan Shaw, however, states that James Grant married a daughter of John, sixth Lord Forbes, and as this is so far corroborated by other evidence, it is probably correct. There is thus reason to believe that James Grant, third of Freuchie, was twice married, first to Elizabeth Forbes, and secondly to Christina Barclay, who survived him. By these wives he had four sons and five daughters."
