on the 22nd of May, 1430, served heir to "his brother"
Alexander in a third of the barony of the Aird, and in the
barony of Abertarff, comprehending the lands of Strath-
errick, the third of Glenelg, the three Leys, Muccovy,
Balvraid, Lienach, the two Daltullichs, and Dalcross, the
whole extending- to 10 merks new extent, equal to 340
merks old extent, to which Alexander had been specially
served before the Sheriff of Inverness, and all held of the
Earl of Moray, ward and relief. These lands must have
been granted to Alexander during his father's and eldest
brother's lifetime, for both lived until 1440, ten years after
his lordship's third son Hugh, afterwards third Lord, was
served and retoured in them as heir of his deceased brother,
Alexander.
3. Hugh, who succeeded his eldest brother, Thomas, in
all his and his father's estates.
4. Elizabeth, who married William Leslie, fourth Baron
of Balquhain, from whom descended Count Leslie in Ger-
many, as well as the Leslies of Balquhain.
5. Euphemia, who married Sir Walter Innes of Innes.
At page 14, Family of Innes, it is said that " Sir Walter
was married to Euphame Fraser, daughter of Hugh of
Fraser, who was first Lord Lovat, which woman had been
formerly wife to the Captain of Clan Chattan or Laird of
Mackintosh," who would have been her cousin.
Hugh, the first Lord is said to have died at Lovat in
1440, in the 64th year of his age, and he was buried at
Beauly. His eldest son, Thomas, is on record on the 20th
of July in that year, as "Thomas Fraser, Lord of Lovat."
Lord Hugh was succeeded by his eldest son,
VI. THOMAS, LORD FRASER.
This Chief, as already stated, is not mentioned by Anderson,
or by any other of the family historians, but that he existed
is undoubted ; for in this capacity he signs as one of the
witnesses to a deed by Alexander of the Isles, Earl of
Ross, granting a charter on the resignation of "John de
Roos," VI. of Kilravock, of the lands of Kilravock and
on the 22nd of May, 1430, served heir to "his brother"
Alexander in a third of the barony of the Aird, and in the
barony of Abertarff, comprehending the lands of Strath-
errick, the third of Glenelg, the three Leys, Muccovy,
