Notes |
- James Cuthbert of Drakies served as Provost of Inverness from 1620-21 and 1628-29. A James Cuthbert of Easter Drakies served as Provost of Inverness from in 1631 and 1636. It's not know if they are the same person or two different Jameses. On 5 JUL 1661, James is referenced in the register of Parliament, judicial proceedings for an incident that took place on 12 January 1621: Decreet for Lauchlan MacIntosh [of Torcastle] against Ewan Cameron, [laird of Lochiel]. Includes: "William MacIntosh's consignation of the sum of 18,000 merks in the hands of James Cuthbert of Drakies, then provost of Inverness, conforming to a contract of wadset passed between the deceased John Grant of Freuchie and Sir Lauchlan MacIntosh of Torcastle, knight, on the one and other parts, dated 12 January 1621."
James relationship to his parents, siblings and children as shown here is not confirmed but represents this author's best attempt to reconcile current evidence.
