Their children were born in Dalmore, Rogart. 1. BARBARA b. 13 December 1803 married 1) John Mackenzie 2) John Ross 2. ROBERT b. 20 March 1805 3. ELSPET b. 12 December 1806 4. COLIN b. 16 August 1808 married 1) Christian GUNN 2) MARY MATHESON ( my Great grandmother) 5. WILLIAM YOUNG b. 5 April 1812 6. GEORGE URQUHART b. 23 October 1815 unmarried in 1841 census Since John and Betsy named 1st daughter and 2nd son after Betsy's parents it seems reasonable to assume that John's parents were ROBERT GRANT and ELSPET. QUESTION: Do any other GRANT families of that era have both these names in their list of offspring. JOHN GRANT was said to be of Clashnagrave but presumably his sons would have settled somewhere in the ROGART area where they were born. Does anyone know if any of the others married?
