Biography

'A third daughter married;_________ M‘Kay/Mackay

FAMILY OF FRASER. 171 It now remains to trace the male descendants of the youngest son of the 8th Lord, viz. of Sir James Fraser of Brea.

He was horn in the year 1610, and married Beatrix Wemyss, daughter of the Laird of Wemyss, in Fife. ' Dame Beatrix Wemyss, Lady Brea, discharges Alexander Fraser, servitor to the tutor of Strichen, of custom weddors of Moniack, 1Ö1-7." Sir James is represented as a man well qualified for business, by a liberal education, both at home and abroad, but inordinately ambitions. During the civil commotions of the period, he acted a keen part against tthe Royalists ; and, by his influence and authority, was of eminent service to the Parliamentary interest. He was Governor of Inverness when besieged by Montrose, and obtained a grant of £10,000 for the losses sustained by the Lovat tenantry from the inroads of that nobleman's forces. He died at Lovat, upon the 6th of December, 1649, when entering his 40tb year,¥ Great military honors were paid to his remains. He left but one son, * James Fraser, minister of Culross, v and subsequently of Inverness, who died before his induction to the latter place. The lands of Brea, which had been apprised from Sir James Fraser, became the property of Hector Monro of Obsdale, who conveyed them to James Fraser, “ son and heir” of the said Sir James, by disposition, dated L29th March, 1(>71,* He married G my, by whom he had two daughters* Sir James Fraser's eldest daughter married Major Bateman, who got Dalcross as her marriage portion.* No issue came of this match.f The second married Hector Monro of Drummond, brother of Monro of Foulis, and had one daughter married to David Cuthbert of Drakies. A third daughter [Fraser-8049] married;_________ M‘Kay/Mackay. A fourth, Magdalene, married George Cuthbert of Castlehill. The fifth daughter wedded David Cuthbert, brother to Castlehill, had no issue.J The extinction of the male heirs of Sir James Fraser, being all that was called for in serving the present Lovat heir-male of the Lords Lovat, it was thought inadvisable to clog the family tree, laid before the Jury, with these daughters. The Wardlaw MSS. has this memorandum: “ Nota, Brea is away from Sir James’s heirs, and therewith his memory, having no issue male to represent him.’’
