  Marriage Notes:

"Catherine, who married her cousin Alexander Burnett of Leys."

from Scots Peerage (vol 1)




"Alexander Burnet of Leys (1575-78). This laird of Leys was almost as short a time in possession as his father. He was, as 'Alexander Burnet of Canneglerocht,' retoured before the Master of Marischal in the old castle of Kincardine as heir to John Burnet, his father, in the barony of Leys, on 3rd October, 1575, and had sasine on Chancery Precept on 5th November following. Next year he made up titles on Precept of Clare Constat from John, Commendator of Arbroath, to the lands held from that Abbey, and he was dead before May, 1578. A passing allusion to him in a letter of his son Duncan, indicates that one of his ambitions was that his sons should be men of learning and culture, an aim in which it will be seen that he was successful with some, though not all, of them. He married his cousin-german, Katherine, daughter of Robert Arbuthnot of Pitcarlies ; and we have in the Heralds' Visitation of Norfolk in 1613, and of Essex in 1634, a full enumeration in order of seniority of his six sons, some of them men of mark in their day, and, in the 1613 Visitation, of his three daughters also."
