| On June 2, 1506, he signed a bond of man-rent at Slains to the Earl of Errol and on February 27, 1507, an inquest was held on the estate of deceased Henry Cheyne of Esslemont. He did not enjoy the succession long, and after his death, his brothers, Alexander and Patrick Cheyne, contended at law as to the heirship of the property. Patrick made a protestation against the legitimacy of his brother Alexander. The con- test was not settled till nine years afterwards. In 15 16, there was a royal charter apportioning the lands between them, and this may have been the time when Arnage became a separate estate. The branch of the Cheynes held it to nearly the end of the seventeenth century, fifty years after they had disappeared from Esslemont.6 | ||
