"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'."

Elizabeth next married James CUMMING after 1725. (James CUMMING was born about 1690.)

  Marriage Notes:

"During James (Grant)'s long absence, when it would well have been presumed that he was no longer alive, the dormant baronetcy of Dalvey was, in 1752, secured by a descendant of Duncan Grant of Gartenbeg's first wife, a half blood relative of the first baronet, who was a descendant of Duncan's second wife. Some eight years later, and after James had reappeared, a printed memorial, dated 8 August 1760, was, at the instigation of James Grant's half brother, Alexander Cumming, son of James's mother by her second husband, James Cumming, [71] submitted for James Grant Claimant against Alexander Grant of Dalvey'. However, the proceedings appear to have been halted by arrangement and possibly influence."
