THE FAMILY OF GRANT.
The Grants begin to be noticed in English history in the 12th century. Their name was possibly Le Grand, and they may have ac- companied William in 1066, or followed soon afterwards with the crowd of Normans (including a " Robert Grante ") who came to profit by the conquest of England. This, however, is little more than conjecture, and a purely Celtic origin has been claimed for the Clan. The name appears in Scotland in the middle of the 13th century, and we find Sir LAURENCE GRANT, sheriff of Inverness in 1263.
JOHN GRANT, believed to have been the son of Sir Laurence, was taken prisoner at the battle of Dunbar, 1296, but was liberated in 1297 and in 13 16 obtained a charter of the lands of Inverallan in Strathspey from John of Inverallan.
Patrick Grant, of Stratherrick and Inverallan, son of John, ap- pears between 1345 and 1362. Possibly another son of John was Sir John Grant, taken prisoner at Homildon Hill, 1333, and knighted before 1357.
MALCOLM Grant, son of Patrick, is mentioned in 1394 as in pos- session of a twenty merkland near Inverness. ROBERT GRANT, possibly a son of Sir John, was sent on an embassy to France in 1389 and again in 1391.
Elizabeth Grant, Lady of Stratherrick, daughter of Malcolm, in 1433 disposed to her grandson John Seres all her lands including Inver- allan. A John Grant, who is supposed to have been a son of Robert 8 MAJOR ALPIN'S ANCESTORS. and who may have been the John Grant, Sheriff of Inverness in 1434, married Matilda Comyn, daughter of Gilbert of Glencairnie, by whom he had
Sir Duncan Grant, I. of Freuchie, knighted between 1457 and 1464. Freuchie was a barony, and for generations after Sir Duncan's time was the family designation. He died in 1485 having married Muriel, daughter of Malcolm X. of Mackintosh, by whom he had a son
John Grant, apparent of Freuchie, to whom in 1482, Patrick Seres, son of John Seres above mentioned, disponed the lands of Inverallan. He predeceased his father in 1484, leaving a son
JOHN Grant, II. of Freuchie, " Am Bard Ruadh." It was under the Bard that the Grants first established themselves in Urquhart and Glen- moriston. The original barony of Urquhart, dating from the early part of the 14th century, and including Glenmoriston, was erected into a Lordship 100 years later, and had been held by the Lords of the Isles from 1394 to 1476. In Glenmoriston the Macdonalds for years opposed the Grants, and kept the lands waste. In 1482 the Bard became tenant of the Lordship, and in 1509 James IV. granted him a charter of a new
" ", Barony of Urquhart ; to his second son JOHN, Iain Og (by Margaret, daughter of Sir James Ogilvie of Deskford) a charter of a Barony of
Corrimony {Grants of Corrimony, p. 11) ; and to his natural son (by a daughter of Stuart of Kincardine) JOHN, "Iain Mor", a charter of a Barony of Glenmoriston. The Bard's eldest son, James, succeeded him as III. of Freuchie and from him are descended the Grants of Grant, now Earls of Seafield.

The Barony of Glenmoriston included the lands of Conechane, Craskie, Aonach, Auchlayn, Dulchreichard, Duldragyn, Innervvick, Blarie, Inver [moriston], Coulnakirk, and others. The grantee had to pay to the king a yearly feu-duty of £27 6s. 8d.

2. Alexander, designed in Blairy in 1695. According to information supplied in
August 1 835, by the late James Murray Grant, XII. of Glenmoriston, this Alexander "married a Gairloch woman against the wish of all his relations, they not know- ing who she was, or who were her connections in Gairloch. In consequence of this dispute with his friends, Alexander Grant left his native place and never
returned ; and had it not been for a song, composed by his wife, and still sung in the Glen, no trace of him could have been found. After Alexander left Glen- moriston, his friends being anxious to know something about the Gairloch woman, made enquiry through Sir Alexander Mackenzie, laird of Gairloch, and
found that she was great-grand-daughter of the laird of Gairloch ; her name was Janet McKenzie, daughter of Thomas McKenzie of Rhu, Gairloch, son of Captain Alexander McKenzie, son of the [fifth] laird of Gairloch." Tradition further — — — —

narrates that Alexander lived at first in Glenshee, and afterwards in Castleton of Braemar.* A son,
(i) Duncan, settled in the Forest of Birse, obtaining a lease 01 some land from the Earl of Aboyne in 1722. According to the MS. Memoirs compiled
by his descendant Mr. Charles Grant, Duncan married and had three sons :
i. Donald : ii. Archibald : hi. Duncan. Of these the eldest Donald,
who fought at Culloden, married and had four sons :

McGregor, Ballochbuie (who died 1821, aged 80), with issue :
A. Charles (boin 1770); B. Duncan (born 1782); C.
Lachlan ; also Donald, Alexander, and two named John, who all died young. Duncan became a merchant in Glasgow and proprietor of Clydebank and Newhall. He died in 1865, having married 1st Margaret Sillars, Lochill, Ayrshire (who
died 20 August, 1831, aged 3S), with issue :
{A) Charles of Clydebank (born 1816) compiler of the Memoirs referred to in the Prefatory Note.
(B) John (born 1821) who became a Chamberlain at the
Court of Saxe-Weimar, married in 1 34S Olga Matilda Alexandria von Wegner, Schloss Ostmanstedt, and
was created a Baron by the Grand Duke. He is represented by an only daughter, a. Olga Jane, who resides in Weimar.
* In the Invermoriston burying ground is a torrbstone bearing the following inscription : " Sacred to the memory of Alexander Grant, sen of John Grant, fifth laird of Glenmoriston, and to his spouse Janet Mackenzie, grand daughter of Captain Alexander Mackenzie of Gairloch : ancestors of Captain George Grant of the Indian Navy, who has erected this monument as a token of afiection, esteem and regard, with which he cherishes their memory. They died in Braemar about the year of our Lord, 1730. [Erected] 1S40." This Captain George Grant was the son of James Grant (and his wife Jane Hadden), who was the son of ii. Archibald, grandson of Alexander. George Grant entered the India Na\y as a midshipman, 2 July, 1S10, becoming second lieutenant 19 May, 1816, first lieutenant 29 March, 1S20, commander 18 March, 1827, and captain 18 September, 1832.

John Grant, VI. of Glenmoriston, " Iain a Chragain," was served heir to his father on 23 June, 1703. He fought in 1689 at Killicrankie t by the side of Sir Ewen Cameron, and in 1715 at Sheriffmuir by the side of Alisdair Dubh, chief of Glengarry, whose life he was the means of saving. For taking part with the Jacobites, his estates were forfeited under the Act 1 Geo. I. cap. 42, and remained in possession of the
Crown till 1732, when they were sold to Ludovic Grant, second son of the Laird of Grant, but then known as Ludovic Colquhoun of Luss.
* To whose courtesy the compiler is indebted for the perusal of his brother Charles' Memoirs.
t James Philip of Almerieclose thus describes Iain a Chragain among the followers of Dundee, contrasting his fidelity with the disloyalty of his kinsman, Grant of Grant, who followed the "Orange tyrant."
His quoque se comitem Morisina ex valle ferebat Grantius egregius bello, non degener ille Grantiades Balli dictus de nomine castri, Qui Batavi partes pnedonis, et arma seculus Sustulit Auriaci vexilla nefanda tyranni. Ille sed incoctum fido qui gestat honestum Pectore, Ctesareos Urquhartius acer in hostes.

* " Grant of Glenmoriston, having made a hasty march to join Charles at the head of his clan, rushed into the Prince's presence at Holyrood with unceremonious haste, without having attended to the duties of the toilet. The Prince received him kindly, but not without a hint
that a previous interview with the barber might not have been wholly unnecessary. " It is not beardless boys," answered the displeased chief, " who are to do your Royal Ilighness's turn." The Chevalier took the rebuke in good part. — Scott's Notes to Waverley. —
