 Abt 1680 - Abt 1757 (77 years)
Generation: 1
| 1. | John Flett, of Gruthay was born about 1680 (son of David Flett, of Gruthay and Elizabeth Sutherland); died about 1750-1757. Notes:
Note: Cossack's "Kirkwall in the Orkneys" book gives John Flett as the father of Elizabeth Flett who married John Heddle. However, Burke's Landed Gentry and Records of the Earldom of Orkney, as well as the research of J. G. F Moodie Heddle, all give Alexander son of John.
And the "State of the Process" indicates that a John Flett of Gruthay died between 1746 and 1757 and was in his seventies - it is likely that this reference is to this John Flett of Gruthay, hence the estimated birth.
Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

| 4. | Alexander Flett, of Gruthay (son of Magnus Flett, of Gruthay); died after 1674. Notes:
The Clouston article shows a record of him alive in 1674, as the laird of Gruthay and respected enough to be one of the lawrikmen of Orkney who would be called upon to settle disputes in another parish.
