Marriage Notes:
"Thomas Fraser of Lovat. He was probably the heir referred to in the above contract of 1422 (between his father and Thomas, 3rd earl of Dunbar), and bound, while only an infant, to marry a daughter of Thomas Dunbar, Earl of Moray, but it does not appear that the Earl had any family. On 20 July 1440, as Thomas Fraser, Lord of Lovat, he witnessed a charter of Alexander de Ile, Earl of Ross, and in 1441 his seal was appended to a letter written by Alexander de Urchart, Constabularius de Foress. He is therein designed Thomas Fraser, lord de Lovet. He died before 20 May 1455, when his son is styled 'Huchone Fraser of the Lovate,' having been a ward of Archibald Douglas, Earl of Moray, then recently dead. This is supported by the fact that in 1456 the Chamberlain charges himself with £143 of rents of the lands of Aird, Strathglass, Abertarff, and Stratherrick, then being in the hands of the King by the death of the late Thomas Fraser of the Lovat, in the ward of the earldom of Moray.
It is not known whom he married, but he left two sons :
1. Hugh, who succeeded him.
2. William, mentioned as being the father of Agnes Fraser (see Note below), named in a consistorial pleading against John Grant of Culcabok on 9 May 1549."
from Scots Peerage (vol 5)
Note:
Agnes Fraser's father was named William Fraser, but as described here. Her father was William Fraser 1st of Guisachan, son of Thomas, 2nd Lord Fraser of Lovat. Confusion often arises when the laird of Lovat is referred as Lord. 1
