GRANT, Duncan of Freuchie, Sir
(About 1410-1485) |
GRANT, Duncan of Freuchie, Sir 1 2 3Another name for Duncan was GRANT, Duncan of Mullahard.4 User ID: Y493. General Notes: "Tradition connects Duncan Grant of Freuchie with the lands of Glencarnie at this date, and it may be perfectly correct in doing so. It is the case that Duncan Grant of Freuchie was, in 1457, the Crown tacksman of the lands of Ballindalloch, which lands are afterwards closely associated with Glencarnie. In the account to which reference has just been made, there is allowed to the accounters by the auditor the sum of £3, 6s. 8d. 'of the rents of the lands of Ballyndalach, which comprise one davoch, are situated in Strathown, and pertain to the property of Moray, which Duncan Grant holds, but from the enjoyment of which he is deterred by Sir Walter Stewart.' Duncan married.1 Marriage Notes: "Sir Duncan Grant is said to have married Muriel Mackintosh, daughter of Malcolm, tenth chief of the Mackintoshes ; but as she is also said to have married John Mor Grant of Freuchie, whose existence cannot be traced, no definite statement can be made on this point. That a daughter of Malcolm or 'Gylhchallum' Mackintosh did marry a Laird of Grant, is asserted by a document, dated 20th February 1568, and signed by Lacklan, the then chief of the Mackintoshes ; but no name is given either to the Land or the lady. The same document, however, corroborates the evidence of other authorities as to the marriage of Sir Duncan Grant's daughter, Catherine. Sir Duncan Grant had one son - John Grant, younger of Freuchie, who predeceased him. |
