General Notes:
"James Grant of Easter Elchies who, as son and executor, gave up his father's testament on 26th October, 1602. He was a member of the juries for the retour of John Grant fifth of Freuchie m 1582 and 1589, and came under an obligation with others of the Clan Grant to defend the Laird of Freunhie as their chief. (Obligation dated 21st March, 1584). At Cromdale on the 17th March, 1594, he entered into a voluntary obligation with other Grants in his neighbourhood to keep the peace under penalty of £1,000 Scots for breach thereof. On 30th March, 1619, he and other persons are denounced rebels for remaining obstinately at the horn. He died before 1620, and apparently sine posteritate, as the lands appear to have reverted to the Lairds of Freuchie as heirs of tailzie, and were bestowed on a younger son."
