James Steuart, of Achorachan, Glenlivet, husband of the eldest daughter Elizabeth, was entered in the county suite roll of 1671. In S. P. (Scotland) Warrant Books, Vol. V., p. 389, under date 8 June, 1678, occurs a docquet of the warrant for a gift of recognition of the lands of Soccach and Lesmurdie in Mortlich, and then by annexation in Cabrach, formerly belonging to John Watt, portioner of Lesmurdie, John Watt his father and to umquhile Alexander Strachan of Lesmurdie, to James, Earl of Airlie."
