General Notes:
"I. Patrick Grant of Muckerach, afterwards of Rothiemurchus. Second son of John Grant of Freuchie and Lady Margaret Stewart. In 1570 he received from his father a charter of the lands of Muckerach and others, and in 1580, upon his own resignation he received another charter of the same lands, in which he is designed 'of Rothieniurchus.' He appears as a witness to the testament of his elder hrother Duncan in 1581, and in 1585, when his father died, he was appointed one of his nephew's curators. In June 1592, along with Lord Fraser of Lovat and others, he received a commission from King James the Sixth to act against certain Highland rebels and marauders ; and in the same year he joined with John Grant of Freuchie in a mutual bond of manrent with John Dow M'Gregor. In 1597 he is named as an arbiter in a similar bond between the Lairds of Freuchie and Glengarry, and in 1599 he holds a like position in a bond of submission between Lord Fraser of Lovat and John Grant of Freuchie. Along with the Laird of Freuchie and others he received a commission in 1602 from King James the Sixth to try persons accused of witchcraft. On 11th October 1608 he appears as an arbiter in a dispute between the Grants of Tullochgorm and Wester Elchies."

Marriage Notes:
"Isobell (Gordon), married (2) Patrick Grant of Rothiemurcus (Balbithan MS.). According to Fraser's Chiefs of Grant (i., 509), P. Grant of Rothiemurchus married Jean Gordon, daughter of 'the Laird of Echt', where Echt is evidently a slip for Gight. On May 17, 1616, Captain John Gordon was served heir of Jean Gordon, Lady of Rothiemurcus, his father's sister (Retours)."
from Gight
"In 1610 he (Patrick Grant) obtained a grant of the lands of Hempriggs, in the barony of Kinloss, to him and his spouse Jean Gordon. He died before 7th June 1617. He married Jean Gordon, said to be daughter to the Laird of Echt, and by her had two sons, Duncan, who predeceased, and John, who succeeded him."
