"Mr Fraser-Mackintosh says of her (Janet Fraser)
'This marriage did not long subsist, and Thomas Chisholm dying without issue, Janet, with consent of her father Hugh, and designing herself "life-rentrix of Wester Invercannich," enters into a contract of marriage with Patrick Grant of Glenmoriston, who therein bound himself to infeft her in his lands of Culcabock, etc. The contract was not registered, so that after Patrick's death it was found necessary to apply to the Court of Session for that purpose. Steps were taken against John Grant of Glenmoriston, son and heir of Patrick Grant, John "Reoch" and James MacCulloch, his tutors and curators; and upon 1st August, 1593, the Lords of Council decerned that registration be made in their books. She was served to her terce in Glenmoriston on 31st July, 1587.' "

Marriage Notes:
"As regards Culcabock, however, as early as 22nd of April, 1583, she (Janet Fraser), with Lachlan Mackinnon, then her spouse, is called on as pretended life rentrix of Culcabock in the Court of Session to show her right. Janet's second and third marriages followed upon each other very quickly, all three within five years, between 1578 and 1583."
