FRASER, Andrew 3rd of Fairfield, Commissary of Inverness 1 2
User ID: L632. General Notes: "III. Andrew Fraser, third of Fairfield, who is the first of the family found on record designated of Fairfield, is described in 1594 as 'Andrew vie Coil vie Thomais Roy'; that is Andrew, son of Donald, son of Thomas Roy, who was himself 'Mac a Mhaighistir' son of the Master of Lovat. Andrew appears to have settled near Inverness when Kinmylies was acquired by the Frasers of Lovat. In 1595 he is found possessed of a rood of land on the west side of the river Ness, and in the same year he acquired from William Paterson, burgess of Inverness, a rood adjoining it, described as bounded on the north by the lands of Robert Neilson, on the west by the mill lade, and on the south by the lands of which he was himself already in possession." Andrew married. |
