from Landed Gentry




"I have found a large Monument for Robert Grant of Kincorth (the estate he purchased upon his return from Canada), in the Cromdale church yard; which names his parents, David and Margaret Grant of Lethendry, his wife Ann Grant, daughter of the Rev. Lewis Grant of Cromdale (who wrote the account for Cromdale Parrish in the 1st Statistical account of Scotland (1799), and his twin sons, Robert and Lewis Grant. The monument states that Robert Grant was one of the Founding members of the Northwest Fur Company; so there can be little doubt that this is a collateral line of mine."
