Biography

John Grant of Tulloehgorm, was, as " son to Tullochcorme," fined £20 Scots for his share in the reset of the Macgregors. He appears to have been the first of the Grants of Tulloehgorm who acquired an interest in the davoch land of Tulloehgorm, under a wadset from John Grant of Freuchie on 2Sth November 1614 for £2000 Scots. The contract of wadset was followed by a charter of the same date, made to John Grant of Tulloehgorm, son of the late Patrick Grant, formerly also in Tulloehgorm, and to Katherine Bailzie his stepmother (novercae), and the longer liver of them, then to the heirs begotten of John Grant and Lilias Dunbar, his spouse. On 9th January 1616, he obtained also from John Grant of Freuchie a wadset of the davoch of Drumuilie in Duthil, in conjunct infeftment to him and his spouse, Lilias Dunbar, for 2200 merks ; the eastern half of which they bestowed in 1626 upon their elder son Patrick, probably on the occasion of his marriage.
