1783–1813
James Gordon pursued Robert Grant for feu-duties and casualties, claiming superiority over lands in non-entry that Grant refused to enter or pay. Grant defended by seeking a declarator of non-entry against Gordon and Francis Gordon regarding a 1775 marriage contract that had granted him lands and an annuity from his father John Grant. In February 1783, the defenders condescended, arguing that the marriage contract and its settlement were not fraudulent and that Rothmaise was solvent at the time.AI-generated
