   User ID: K629.

  General Notes:

"The first Fraser who appears in Scotland is Simon Fraser of Keith, who, about 1160, granted the church of Keith with a large tract of ground to the monks of Kelso. He died before 1190, when his daughter and heiress Eda, with her husband Hugh Lorens, confirmed this grant to the monks. Eda and Hugh Lorens had a daughter Eda who married Philip de Keith, Marischal of Scotland."

from Scots Peerage (vol 6)




"Simon Fraser's line, probably the senior and most influential, from having been tenants-in-chief of the Crown at that date, therefore terminated in a daughter and heiress, through whom and her heirs the estates belonging to him passed into the family of De Keith."
