(About 1650-1714) |
GRANT, Ludovick 8th of Freuchie and 1st of Grant 2
General Notes: "He was a Member of Parliament in 1690, and one of the committee appointed by that Parliament to visit the universities, colleges, and schools, and to purge them of all insufficient, immoral, and disloyal teachers. He was likewise one of the Lords Commissioners for the plantation of Kirks and valuation of Teinds (Acts Parliament 1690), and so zealous was he to have legal ministers planted in his own estates, that he removed John Stewart at Cromdale, Suene Grant at Duthil, and James Grant at Abernethy, and shut up their churches in 1690 or 1691, till ministers properly qualified for discharging the sacred functions were found." Ludovick married Janet BRODIE, daughter of Alexander BRODIE 2nd of Lethen and Elizabeth CRAIG, on 16 December 1671. (Janet BRODIE was born about 1650 and died in 1697.) Ludovick next married Jean HOUSTOUN, daughter of Sir Patrick HOUSTOUN of that Ilk and Anne HAMILTON, on 2 March 1701 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.1 (Jean HOUSTOUN was born about 1665.) |
