GRANT, Sweton of Lynchburn ¹

   User ID: Q115

  General Notes:

"Sweton Grant of Lynchurn (Donald of Kinveachie's great grandson and Sweton of Cabrach's cousin) is said to have proceeded to Inverness to have his service (as heir) prepared after attending Sweton of Cabrach's funeral as his heir and, in that capacity, brought away the deceased's spurs and guns, and also the sword captured by John Beg Grant from McLean of Duart at the battle of Glenlivet in 1594. While at Inverness, however, he is said to have contracted an illness which compelled him to return home to Lynchurn before the proceedings were completed, and he died shortly after arrival. This was in 1725."

from Index of Marriages




"By his wife, Elizabeth (the daughter of Alexander Jackson of Miltown, Castle Grant), Sweton of Lychurn had two daughters and a son, James. However, at the time of his father's sudden death, James was only an infant. Moreover, his mother, Elizabeth, married again and evidently the matter of the baronetcy was set aside for the time being, and it then, unfortunately, became 'overtaken by events'."
