He and his wife had a grant of the barony of Burleigh on the resignation of his father as above mentioned. On 9 May 1528 he had a grant in feu-farm of the lands of Kinloch, a lease which was revoked on 21 July 1536, by which date he was dead; indeed, he must have died before 1531, as the lands of Easter and Wester Balgarvy were then let to his son Michael.9 | ||
