  Marriage Notes:

"In 1309, Valentine of Thornton had a charter from King Robert the Bruce of the lands of Thornton in the Mearns; and as this is the first, so is it the last, record of the family being possessed of that estate.

It is said that the male line of the Thorntons failed in the reign of King David II., and that a daughter, Agatha, or Agneta, carried the property by marriage to Sir James Strachan of Monboddo, by whom she had two sons, Duncan, or Donald, and John. It is further asserted that the younger son received Thornton, and, subsequently succeeding his brother in Monboddo, was knighted by King Robert II."

from Memorials of Angus and the Mearns

NOTE:

The full picture is more complex than this, but it does indicate

i] there were diferent strands of Strachans
ii] they were probably interrelated
iii] some absorbed the others in a variety of ways historically ¹
