Notes


Excerpts from pages 279-281 William Leslie married Jonet, [1] daughter of Sir Michael Balfour of Montquhanie, and had issue: - 1. GEORGE, fourth Earl of Rothes. 2. John Leslie, who held the rectory of Kinnore in Aberdeenshire. 3. James, who appears in 1532 as brother of George, Earl of Rothes, and rector of Aberdour. [2] But on 8 June 1548 he appears as a witness under the style of ‘late rector of Aberdour,’ [3] and it is probably he who, as Mr. James Leslie, was rector of Rothes in February 1563-64. [4] Shaw, in his ‘History of Moray’, gives 13 October 1576 as the date of his death, from the inscription of his tombstone in Rothes churchyard. 4. Grisel, designed sister of George, Earl of Rothes, in a marriage-contract, dated at Haddington 8 June 1529, between him, on her behalf, and John Wardlaw of Torry and Henry Wardlaw, his son and apparent heir, for her marriage with the latter. She was apparently widow of Walter Heriot of Burnturk. [5] [1] She is usually called Margaret, but her name appears as Jonet Balfour, Countess of Rothes, in an action between her and Elizabeth Wemyss, widow of John Strang, in Teasses, begun on 14 August 1518, and continued until submitted to arbitration (Sheriff-Court Book of Fife, 1514-22, 40-43).
