  Marriage Notes:

"David Berclay of the Mearns and Mathers, son of Alexander Berclay (Mathers III),married Elizabeth, daughter of Strachan of Thornton in the Mearns. He had one son, George Berclay (Mathers V), who is not mentioned in the Genealogical Account.

It was during the time of this Lord of Mathers that John Melville of Glenbervie, Sheriff of the Mearns, was murdered by a party of barons of the shire, and numerous writers, both in song and story, have asserted that David Berclay was among them. From a record now available, however, it seems clear that it was not David but his son George who was implicated in a crime which tradition has surrounded with many gruesome details."
