  Marriage Notes:

"V John Grant of Glenmoriston

Designed lawful son to the late Patrick Grant of Glenmoriston in the retour of his uncle John on 16th March 1643. In the following year he appears on the Valuation Roll of the county of Inverness as 'apparent of Glenmoriston,' and his lands are valued at £2482, 1s. 8d. Scots. There was a keen litigation in 1684 between this Laird and the Laird of Freuchie about the redemption of Balmacaan, and an instrument of ejection from these lands, dated 10th March 1687, shows that the legal proceedings were prolonged. On 8th April of that year he entered into an agreement with Mr. James Grant, advocate, afterwards Sir James Grant of Dalvey, who became bound to act as his legal agent in return tor a yearly pension.

He is said to have married a daughter of Fraser of Struie. He died before 23d June 1703."
