  Marriage Notes:

"James (Sutherland), born in 1561. When about three years old, or earlier, he was placed 4 in fostering with Angus Sutherland 'Hectorsone,' to whom, for his benefit, his father made over 'fyve meris with ane Stallone,' to which, apparently, his foster-father added 'four meris', so that the profit might accrue to his fosterson. In 1590 he appears in the Privy Council Records as cautioner for his mother Janet Grant. He had the lands of Kinstearie in Morayshire, which were given to him in 1593 by his brother William, on his marriage with Violet, daughter of Thomas Fraser of Strichen."
