John "the Gentle" Grant 4th of Freuchie
2nd of Rothiemurchus - See Burke's Peerage under Strathspey
Notes from: http://members.madasafish.com/~edann/innes2/ps01/ps01_445.htm
JOHN GRANT, 4th of Freuchie, called "the Gentle". During his father's life designated "of Mulben". On 9 July 1552 he received from Queen Mary a remission for joining Matthew, Earl of Lennox, on Glasgow Moor in May 1544. He was retoured heir to his father in the lands of Glencarnie and Ballindalloch at Elgin on 6 October 1553, and in the lands of Freuchie and others.
On 30 October 1554 Robert (Reid), Bishop of Orkney, and his nephew Walter Reid, the lately elected Abbot of Kinloss, appointed the Laird of Freuchie as successor to his father in the office of Bailie of the Abbey of Kinloss.
On 25 October 1557 he had a charter of the lands of Parkhill, in the county of Fife, on the forfeiture of John Leslie.
On 3 December 1562, acting on an order of 4 November 1562, by Queen Mary, he demanded and took the custody of Drummin Castle, the keepers having fled. This order of the Queen is the first authoritative document in which the Laird of Freuchie is denominated Laird of Grant. The Laird was one of the Queen's party at the Palace of Holyrood on 9 March 1565/6, when David Riccio was murdered in her presence; and he signed the bond of 1568 in support of the Queen. Acting as the Queen's Lieutenant, the Earl of Huntly, on 18 February 1568/9, bestowed upon the Laird the abbacy of Kinloss, was cheated because Walter Reid the Abbot had been proclaimed rebel. He was a signatory to the bond of 15 April 1569, drawn up by the Regent's Privy Council, by which the subscribers acknowledged the authority of King James VI, and the Earl of Moray as Regent, and swore to obey them in all points. By a deed dated a t Ballachastel on 30 August 1584 he made over, owing to his increasing ill-health, a great part of his lands and estates to John Grant, his grandson and apparent heir, reserving to himself a life rent and to his wife terce. His last will and testament was made at Ballachastell 24 November 1584. He appointed his body to be "buried in the Kirk of Dowthall in Bogbegis Yll." James Grant, 4th of Freuchie, married, 1stly, before 19 February 1539/40, Margaret Stewart, daughter of John, 3rd Earl of Atholl. She died in 1555. He married 2ndly, on or before 8 March 1557-58, Janet, daughter of George Leslie, 4th Earl of Rothes, and widow of David Crichton of Naughton. (She survived him and was married, 3rdly, before 10 June 1589, James Elphinstone , 3rd son of Alexander, 2nd Lord Elphinstone. She died at Kirkcaldy 17 December 1591.) He died at Ballachastel 3 June 1585.

12th Laird of Innes. 1389 - Canon of Cathedral of Moray. 10 Jan 1395 - Designated as first Person of Duffus. 1396 - Archdeacon of Caithness. 1396 - obtained a grant fron Bishop Alexander Bur of Moray, to enable him to fulfil his wish to study Canon law in the University of Paris. Bishop of Moray from 1406. This makes him a very young bishop but the inscription on his tombstone seems to confirm it with the words: "Hic Jacet reverendus in Xsto Pater Dominus, Dominus Johannes de Innes hujas Ecc lesioe Episcopus ..... qui hoc notabile opus incepit at per septenium potentere dificavit, &c............" (The rest of the inscription is now lost).He rebuilt Elgin Cathedral, the most northerly on the mainland, in the 15th century after it had been destroyed by the "Wolf of Badenoch", son of King Robert II. Before 1406 he passed control of the Innes estates to his younger brother. (Cosmo Innes questions whether John was ever Laird of Innes, as claimed by Duncan Forbes, but says that he was only following local tradition in that belief.)
Giles was originally on a Family Tree, by T.I. Pocock, as son of Alexander de Innes and brother of Walter, John (Bishop of Moray), and Robert "the Good". Most records show that John and Robert's father was Sir Walter so to keep Alexander in the tree I have listed him as Giles' uncle and brother of Walter. (Bean)
Sometimes referred to as 8th of that Ilk
