from Chiefs of Grant




"The Grants of Rippachie on Donside were alluded to in notice of Mary Grant, wife of the Rev. James Lumsden, of Corrachrie, minister of Towie. She is understood to have been a niece of Grant, of Ballindalloch, and to have inherited the lands of Rippachie and Deskrieside. Her mother, Mary Strachan, is known to have been a daughter of Mr. James Strachan, minister of Oyne, but Scott, in his 'Fasti,' says that the minister of Oyne's daughter, Mary, married Mr. John McInnes, minister of Crathie ; and agreeably with this we find that on 15 Feb., 1740, Mr. John Mclnnes, minister at Crathie, and Mary Strachan, his spouse were infeft in the lands of Kinbattoch in security of £2,000 Scots. The apparent discrepancy might be removed if it could be ascertained that Mary Strachan was Mr. Grant's widow when she married Mr. Mclnnes. Mary Grant was born in 1701, but unfortunately the Baptismal Register for the united parishes of Migvie and Tarland is incomplete in the beginning of the 18th century, otherwise the names of both her parents might possibly have been found there. In 1735 she (Mary Grant) was infeft in Rippachie, to which the next reference we have is in 1752, when her husband, the Rev. James Lumsden, granted a lease of the land and mill of Rippachie to John Gordon, of Crathienaird for their joint lives."
