U.S. President's 12-Great Grandfather. HRH Charles's 17-Great Grandfather. Lady Diana's 16-Great Grandfather. P.M. Cameron's 15-Great Grandfather. HRH Albert II's 18-Great Grandfather. .A1 DUNCAN, afterwards Sir Duncan Grant of Freuchie. The elder son, DUNCAN GRANT, Knight, the first Grant to be called "of Freuchie", was born in or before 1413. He was knighted between 1460 and 1464. On 31 January 1434-35, as Duncan le Grant, he received a precept of sasine from King James I for infefting him as lawful heir of his deceased mother Matilda of Glencarnie in the fifth part of the barony of Rothes Wiseman and Burmuckty (Barmuckity), the two Fochabers, a half of Surestown (Sheriffston), and an annual rent of two merks from the town of Thornhill, all in the sheriffdom of Elgin. He was styled "Duncan le Graunte of Fruychy" in a precept of 31 August 1453. As Sir Duncan he was retoured, first on 25 February 1464-65, and finally on 7 February 1468-69, as heir in the lands of Congash of his grandfather Gilbert of Glencairnie, who is said to have died about thirty years before. Sir Duncan died 1495, as appears from a short Latin chronicle relating to the Highlands, by James M'Gregor, Dean of Lismore, who died in 1542. It is said that he married Muriel Mackintosh, daughter of Malcolm, 10th Chief of the Mackintoshes, but the evidence points to her having married John Grant, Sir Duncan's son. Sir Duncan Grant had issue one son and two daughters:- A2 Patrick Mac Ian Roy, who is said by the Kinrara MS to have married Janet, 3rd daughter of Malcolm, 10th Chief of Mackintosh. To him, by some, is attributed the position of ancestor to the Clan Phadruig or House of Tulloch Gorm, while others say he was illegitimate. On 28 July 1473, Marjory Lude, a widow, styling herself "Lady of half the Barony of Freuchie", alienated her lands of Auchnarrows, Downan, Port and Dalfour (Dellifure) to her carnal son Patrick Grant. He is also called Reoch. He died before 2 December 1508, leaving a son surnamed Reoch, who probably is the Patrick Reoch said to have died in 1513 in a charter of apprising of 1 May 1585.
