Captain Grant

Possibly Alexander Grant of Grantsfield, who commanded a party of Loudoun's. This Captain Grant, however, is noted for showing mercy, which would be a significant departure from Captain Alexander's reported behaviour; this might be accounted for by the fact that the recipient of the mercy was a fellow Grant. Alternatively, this Captain Grant might be Patrick Grant of Rothiemurchus, who was Captain of an Independent Company raised by order of John Campbell, fourth Earl of Loudoun (Fraser, Chiefs of Grant, vol. 1, pp. 411, 414).
