  Marriage Notes:

"Alexander Grant, who married Margaret, daughter of Donald Macbean (of the Macbeans of Kinchyle), and left issue. He was present at the battle of Culloden, but having killed a dragoon shortly afterwards, he fled to America, and was not again heard of (See Note below)."

from Chiefs of Grant

Note:

To say Alexander Grant "was not heard of again" seems incorrect in so far as other sources have provided some information of his life after he fled to America. For example, The Inverness Courier quotes Bill McAllister writing about as Alexander Grant in these terms: "He remained in hiding for two years after the battle. Later he accepted a commission for service in America and died of a fever during the Siege of Havana, 16 years after Culloden."

The Sheuglie Grants involved in the 1745 also provides information as outlined in the General Notes section os this file. ^{1 4}
