| He had a crown charter of the dominical lands of Esslemont, on 26th January 1516, on the narrative that there had been a litigation between him, the said Patrick and Alexander Cheyne, carnal sons of the late John Cheyne of Esslemont, as to which of them should succeed to the lands, which belonged to the said John in liferent, and to Henry, their brother, in fee, and which were then in the King's hand, through the non-entry of the true heir, and that they had agreed to divide them, Patrick getting Esslemont, and Alexander the lands of Arnage.9 | ||
| In 1559, Sir Patrick and Thomas Chien, his apparent heir, was appointed by Walter, abbot of Kinloss, baillies of all and haill of the lands of our regality of Lethnocht and Ellon, with their pertinents, and they were empowered to proclaim baillie courts within said lands, &c. This was on the eve of the Reformation in Scotland, when churchmen were taking means to secure their lands or property, by making them over for a time to influential laymen.10 | ||
