"II. - Patrick Grant of Glenmoriston.
He was under age when his father died. The ward of the lands of Culcabock, Knockintinnel, and Haugh was given to James Grant of Freuchie on 9th December 1548, and on 4th March following John Grant of Ballindalloch obtained a Crown Charter of the lands of Glenmoriston, which it was alleged had come into the Queen's hands through the death of John Mor Grant without lawful heirs-male. The succession of Patrick Grant to his father was afterwards established against the claims of John Grant of Ballindalloch. and he was retoured heir to his father in the lands and barony of Glenmoriston in November 1566, and in Culcabock, etc., on 4th October 1569.

Marriage Notes:
"Mr Fraser-Mackintosh says of her (Janet Fraser)
'This marriage did not long subsist, and Thomas Chisholm dying without issue, Janet, with consent of her father Hugh, and designing herself "life-rentrix of Wester Invercannich," enters into a contract of marriage with Patrick Grant of Glenmoriston, who therein bound himself to infeft her in his lands of Culcabock, etc. The contract was not registered, so that after Patrick's death it was found necessary to apply to the Court of Session for that purpose. Steps were taken against John Grant of Glenmoriston, son and heir of Patrick Grant, John "Reoch" and James MacCulloch, his tutors and curators; and upon 1st August, 1593, the Lords of Council decerned that registration be made in their books. She was served to her terce in Glenmoriston on 31st July, 1587.' "
