William Grant of Larg had four sons, John, James, Peter, and George.
George, the youngest, died without issue, leaving an heritable subject.
William, the son of Peter the third son, then deceased, obtained brieves for serving himself heir of line and conquest to George.
Isaac, the son of John the eldest son, then deceased, opposed this service, so far as it was intended to serve William heir of line to George; and for that purpose offered a bill of advocation, maintaining, That he, as the son of the eldest brother, was heir of line to the youngest brother, in preference to the immediate elder brother of the youngest.
“The Lords refused the bill.”
For Isaac, Garden.
