My Stewart YDNA haplogroup is R-FTA51331, which is actually Grant YDNA (further back in time). I’m in the Grant Project on FTDNA.

My yDNA likely comes from Abernethy, Scotland and represents a union and/or alliance between Clan Grant and the House of Stewart sometime around the 15th century

18. Duncan 1st. Duncan Grant, of Freuchy and Balachastle, was as yet Sheriff Principall of Inverness, is married to the Laird of Mclntock`s daughter, who continued many years childless. It att length pleased God that she conceives and is found in due time to be in pain, to be delivered of Twins, which, when the surprised Midwife was assured of; she informs the attending women. Att length after some labour, one of the children`s hands appears to the world, which when the Midwife did perceive, she anon takes a red ribbond and fixes the same as a sign about the arm of the Child, yet after sore and long labour, the hand of that Child disappears and the other is fully born.

The beholding women, being now pretty weel eased and refreshed, are disposed to start questions, and among others, which of the Twins should be reputed the Representative, there were not pleading women advocates wanting on either side att the time, till att length, by the Father`s determination, the first born is to have the birthright, and therefore determined as portion to give Balachastle to the first born, and Ballindalloch to the other, so that he became the representative of that family about the year 1320, a family of esteem behind none other of that shire according to his quality; of this family of Ballindalloch are several other familys and branches of note descended.

[p26] These principally remarkable are Grant of Kridils, Grant of Dalvey (now of Dunlugar), Grant of Dealy, Grant of Dalemore, Grant of Tamvalin, Grant of Dollas, Brachley and (as is alledged, Grant of Crichy) also Grant of Gulloch in Abernethy. After this question was proposed, something of ambition fomented, by alluring compliments of Ballindalloch favorites, had such a root that a pretence to be head of the family of Grant is entertained, by Ballindalloch, and continued to be so for several generations, till the time of Ludovich, present Laird of Grant. The names of the Twins were - John, the eldest, and representative of the family; and Patrick was the name of the other Progenitor of Ballindalloch.

This person was not born in Fife. Moray is most likely. Please update or at least remove Fife as it's a long distance from the area Duncan lived and was born in.

Grant-6422 and Grant-268 appear to represent the same person because: same name, same time frame, same location, same spouse,
I added a link to the upcoming Grant One Name Study, since Duncan was historically significant.

This Profile seems to represent Sir Duncan Grant, 1st of Freuchie, Chieftains of Clan Grant. There are a couple of errors, he was probably born at Glencarnie, Lordship of Badenoch, his mother's home and not Perth. I can tidy this up and do a short header and Category for the Lords of Freucihe similar to Lords of Balquhain. I will also merge the Murial Grant if you accept the merge. I will be working through the Leslies for a couple of days.
