GRANT, James 'in Ballindalloch'
- Born: About 1466
- Marriage (1): Unknown
User ID: Q239
General Notes:
"The result of Fraser's desire to cover up this 'unfortunate incident' is that his pedigree for the family omits the first two generations. It is his grandson (not unnaturally also Patrick) who heads Fraser's pedigree. However Fraser cannot help himself for, quite properly, he reproduces a charter dated June 1491 (vol III page 39, Item 46) which refers to 'Jacobo Grant in Balnadalocht'.
What this tells us is that Patrick's son was called James, that he was at least 21 in 1491 and that his father had already died - it looks as if the failed coup crushed him.
So James was born no later than 1470 and this suggests that Patrick was born no later than 1449 and both of these dates are very tight. This suggests that Duncan was married by 1435 and the "many" years he had to wait for a child was more likely to be about 5. So John Grant, younger of Freuchie and Patrick, progenitor of Ballindalloch were probably born c1440, making James born in the early 1460s and so in his later 20s in 1491."
