CHIEF SIR DUNCAN the MEANEZIES, 53RD IN DESCENT, AND 16TH BARON OF MENZIES THE “TRUSTY” CHIEF Born 1600; Died 1656. King James VI confirmed the grant to Chief Duncan the Menzies of the estates and possessions of his father, Chief Sir Alexander the Menzies, his elder brother, John, having predeceased his father without issue. Duncan, the second son, was therefore retoured heir to his brother, John the Menzies, in such parts of the estates of Menzies as he held in fee at the time of his death. At the birth of Duncan, in the year 1600, his father, Sir Alexander, being related to and on the most cordial and friendly terms with Lord Drummond, who in that year, was having several bells cast in Edinburgh,—he, on learning of the birth of Duncan, presented a bell to Sir Alexander the Menzies, who erected it above the north gate or entrance to Castle Menzies to commemorate his birth, where it now stands. … The young Chief Duncan figured through a great portion of the troubles of Scotland in the time of his father, in the transactions of whom his name appears frequently. He married Lady Jean Leslie, only daughter of James, Master of Rothes, and sister to John, first Earl of Rothes, by Katherine, daughter of Patrick, Lord drummond. The marriage was celebrated about the year 1622. … [p. 282] On the 1st April 1631, the young chief, on the death of his mother, came into possession of her estates, and was retoured her heir, “1st April 1631, Duncan Menzies, younger of Menzies, heir of Elizabeth Forrester, Lady Weem, his mother.” [p. 284] ... … Chief Sir Duncan the Menzies … died … in the month of August 1656, having seen much service in the affairs of his country, and lived amid all the struggles of the Royal Charles’. Being born about A.D. 1600, he was therefore about 56 years of age on his death. … Chief Duncan the Menzies, by his wife, Jean Leslie, only daughter of James, Master of Rothes, had three sons: 1. Alexander Menzies, his successor, and afterwards the first Baronet. 2. Lieutenant Robert Menzies of Menzies, who led a portion of Clan Menzies against Montrose. 3. Chieftain William Menzies, who, on the invasion of England by Charles II, led clan Menzies at the battle of Worcester, where he was killed with the greater portion of the clan, resisting every inch of ground against Cromwell during the space of about five hours, when the Scottish army fought about three english to one Scot. The Chief had also of this marriage five daughters: 1. Marjory Menzies of Menzies, who married Mr. Trotter, a merchant of Portugal, where several Menzies; went with her, and are now said to be represented by several noble families of similar name, such as the Marquess de Meingues, &c. 2. Jean Meanzies, who married Robert Campbell of Finnab. 3. Elizabeth menzies, who married the chief of the MacNabs, Alexander Macnab of that Ilk, through which marriage the Macnabs got the lands of Kinnel, at the west end of Loch tay, in feu-farm from The Menzies of Menzies. 4.
