GRANT, Donnchadh (Duncan) progenitor of the family of Gartinbeg

   User ID: Q94

  General Notes:

"So we are left with the conclusion that CT (Cromdale Text) has got it right that the same man fathered both Patrick of Tullochgorm and Duncan of Gartinbeg (whence Dalvey). But CT (Cromdale Text) has the wrong man and MT (Monymusk Text) the right one - it was Ian Roy. This is confirmed, albeit tentatively, in the Tullochgorm Memoirs (p17).

Today it would be reasonable to raise an eyebrow at a father calling two of his sons by the same name (in this case Duncan). But just two generations later, John Grant, the 'Bard Roy', had an illegitimate son John (later 1st of Glenmoriston) and then later he also named his second legitimate son John (later 1st of Corrimony)."
