Our article says, kind of weirdly, that 'In 1685, Jean "donated" the Binning family's home at Dalvennan and other properties, along with the Keir properties, to Roderick MacKenzie, who was a Scottish advocate ...'. There was a Chancery court case that went in McKenzie's favour (in 1687 not 1685), and it doesn't seem to have involved Jean directly, but John (written as "Joannes" in the Latin case materials), so he seems to still have been alive then, unless the case was argued on behalf of an heir, but my reading of it doesn't suggest this. It does seem to say that the lands has previously been forfeited in 1680 (not "donated" in 1685), but someone better at Latin than I am should review this. The official summary of the case in Latin can be found here:
