General Notes:
"Sir James Fraser, the younger, may perhaps have been the person whose name is found, without any designation, as a witness to a charter granted by Sir William de Keith, and his wife, ]Margaret Fraser, in 1361, for his mother may have been in possession of the estates until after that date ; but however this may be, he appears in 1369 as James Fraser, dominus de Frendraught; and in 1371 Dominus Jacobus Fraser, Miles, and Alexander Skirmechour, were procurators for the Abbot and Monastery of Arbroath, in a contention with the Bishop of Moray.
He was one of the barons, bearing the rank of knight, that attended the coronation of Robert II. on the 27th March 1371, and swore fealty, and affixed their seals to the Act of Succession to the Throne, and he also attended the Parliament held on the 10th April 1373.
Under the designation of Jacobus Fraser, dominus de Frendraught, Miles, he is found a witness to numerous charters down to the year 1395, when he received from Robert III. the grant of an annual rent of 20 merks, from the lands of Carnousie and Culmesty, in his barony of Frendraught, which a Sir Richard Comyn, who had enjoyed it to that time, resigned into the royal hands. In all probability Sir James Fraser did not long survive the year 1395, when he must have been nearly, if not quite, seventy years of age ; but there is no record of his death."
