GRANT, Duncan of Easter Elchies 1User ID: G677. Duncan married Marjory LESLIE, daughter of Robert LESLIE and Daughter ANDERSON.1 (Marjory LESLIE was born about 1541.) Marriage Notes: "Duncan (Grant), who also received from the Bishop of Moray, on 16th January, 1542-3, a Feu Charter of the lands of Easter Elloquhy (Elchies). But even previous to this date, on the 7th May, 1541, we have a Charter of Feu-farm by the Bishop, with consent of his Chapter, to him of these lands. He was engaged in 1568 in a dispute with his neighbour, James Grant of Wester Elchies, in reference to their marches, which was amicably settled by a submission to arbitration dated 6th April, 1568. For assisting in the rebellion of Huntly, he received a remission along with other members of the family, 9th July, 1569. He seems to be the Duncan Grant of Elchies who married Marjory Leslie, third daughter of Robert Leslie, fifth son of William Leslie of Aikinway. He died in October, 1580, leaving one son and one daughter." |
