User ID: Q27 General Notes: "Patrick Grant of Carron, who, on 22d August 1607, obtained a precept of clare constat from Alexander, Bishop of Moray, as heir to his father, John Grant of Carron, in the lands of Carron. He was twice summoned in 1610, for molesting Alexander Lord Elphinstone in his possession of Kildrummy and Corgarf woods, but appears to have neglected the summonses, for he was decerned a rebel and put to the horn, and his escheat bestowed, on 24th January 1611, upon Alexander Lord Elphinstone. On 8th September the same year, he signed a bond of manrent to his chief, John Grant of Freuchie, in return for a lease of the teind-sheaves and vicarage of his own lands of Inverchebett and Culquhoich. On 8th January 1613, he entered into a mutual contract with Patrick Grant of Ballindalloch for friendship between the families, in which reference is made to a previous contract of similar import between Patrick Grant of Ballindalloch and the deceased John Grant of Carron, and the late John Grant, his son, 'guidschir and father' to Patrick Grant, dated 24th March 1585. On 12th August 1615, he received a charter of novodamus of the lands of Carron from Alexander, Bishop of Moray, and was, in 1623, a juror on the inquest for the retour of Sir John Grant of Freuchie. Patrick Grant appears to have died before 3d July 1625." Patrick married. |
