James, was killed with his two brothers at Halidon Hill in 1333.

He was married on 20 July 1321, and again on 22 September 1329, dispensations from Pope John XXII to marry Margaret, called in the dispensation Mariozita de Ferendraught, heiress of Frendraught, in 1321.

He left a son James, whose seal is attached to the Act of Succession of March 1371, showing on a triangular shield a fess chequy between 6 rosettes or cinquefoils, 3 in chief, 2 and 1 base, with a wolf's head as crest. He was knighted before 1371.

He witnessed several charters down to 1395, about which year he is presumed to have left a son James Fraser of Frendraught, whose arms bore a bend sinister indented between three rosettes or cinquefoils, 2 and 1.

He made grants of the lands of Cambestone to the Abbey of Melrose, and of Little Glensauche, in the Mearns, to the White Friars of Aberdeen. He left a daughter Matilda, who married Alexander Dunbar, second son of John, Earl of Moray. [The Scots Peerage VII:426]
