from Memoirs of Clan Mackintosh
"7. Janet (Fraser), who as his first wife married Allan Mackintosh, who lived at Baliherranach, Stratherrick, son of Malcolm Mackintosh, X. of Mackintosh, and progenitor of the Mackintoshes of Kyllachy, with issue. Her husband died in 1476."
from History of the Frasers of Lovat
Note:
Mackenzie, in the above source, lists Janet as the daughter of Hugh Fraser and Margaret Lyon, elsewhere named as Violetta, daughter of Lord Glamis, and as the first wife of Allan Mackintosh. The dates are against this.
Were it so, Janet would not have been born, let alone married, until at least the early part of the second half of the fifteenth century, yet we are told by another source that Alan Mackintosh had children by his second wife, so his second marriage probably took place by about 1470-72. His first marriage was therefore likely before, or well before, 1470.
The numbering and designation of Frasers of Lovat are tricky. It is more likely Janet was a daughter of an earlier Hugh Fraser. 1
