Marriage Notes:
"James of Foyness .... married and left an only daughter, Agnes, who married John Glassich Mackenzie, II. of Gairloch, with issue from whom the present lairds of Gairloch and all the branches of that influential and prolific family.
She married as her second husband, Alexander Chisholm, XIV. of Chisholm (not Thomas as stated in the History of the Mackenzies), with issue. But as the destination of her father's lands in the county of Ross was to heirs-male, she did not inherit them on his death ; for his nephew, Hugh Fraser, II. of Guisachan, the son of his brother William, is found served heir in special to his uncle, James Fraser, of Foyness, in his Ross-shire lands, at Inverness, on the 1st of July, 1556, and they subsequently became the property of the Mackenzies.
The Frasers of Foyness have all died out in the male line. Alexander Chisholm of Comar is a juryman in 1562 in the service of Hector Mackenzie, III. of Gairloch, to his father, John Glassich Mackenzie, II. of Gairloch, and in course of the procedure it is mentioned that Alexander appeared on behalf of his wife, Agnes Fraser. Agnes died before the 1st of February, 1575-76; for upon that date John Roy Mackenzie, IV. of Gairloch, is served heir to his mother, Agnes Fraser. Alexander Chisholm married as his second wife Janet, widow of AEneas Macdonell, VII. of Glengarry, and eldest daughter of Kenneth Mackenzie, X. of Kintail"
