Jane Grant of Grant was probably Lady Jane Ogilvy-Grant (1812-1861), born at Cullen House, Banffshire, the only daughter of Francis William Ogilvy-Grant, 6th Earl of Seafield and his wife Mary Anne Ogilvy-Grant, Countess of Seafield.  She became the wife of Dublin-born Lt. Gen. Sir Walter Forestier-Walker, KBC, who saw service in the Crimean War and afterwards.  However, at the time Donald Grant published his volume she was but a child of eight years.
