"III - JOHN MUDIE THIRD OF ARBIKIE
There is no doubt that, during James Mudie's lifetime, Arbikie became the property of one John Mudie. Ochterlony in his 'Account of the Shire of Forfar' 1684-85 writes 'Arbikie to John Mudie, a good new house and a good land' and the will of John Mudie of Arbikie was proved on 27th October 1685 (Comm. of St. Andrews). Also, John Mudie of Arbikie was married by the schoolmaster of Craig to Lady Magdalene Carnegie, daughter of the second Earl of Northesk, and in 1673 they were discovered 'cohabiting together' in the parish of Stracathro 'without any order or consent of parents or proclamationes'. The lady's father and the Presbytery ordered them to be 'confirmed in the holy bond of matrimony before the Congregation by joining hands together'. Thereafter they were returned to Inverkeilor, which they had clandestinely left. It is uncertain who this John Mudie was......
According to the 'Family Tree', this John Mudie of Arbikie was the second son of John Mudie First of Gilchorn. This may well be so, as after his elopement, he returned to Inverkeilor and also the Arbikie estate passed eventually to James Mudie Second of Pitmuies, who was related to the Gilchorn family. John Mudie died in April 1685. His will was given up by David Mudie in Hilton, a farm adjoining Arbikie in the west, and it mentions a James Mudie in Gilchorn as one of the deceased's creditors by virtue of a bond dated 17th June 1681. It is not clear who the James Mudie was. In any case the fact that he was 'in Gilchorn' strengthens the probability that John Mudie came from there. John Mudie and Lady Magdalene Carnegie are said to have had a number of children, who died in infancy. Lady Magdalene herself did not live long. After her death, John Mudie married Margaret Turnbull of Stracathro ...."

John next married Margaret TURNBULL of Strathcathro.2 (Margaret TURNBULL of Strathcathro was born about 1660.)
Marriage Notes:
"Lady Magdalene (Carnegie) herself did not live long. After her death, John Mudie married Margaret Turnbull of Stracathro and by her, according to the 'Family Tree' had two sons: (1) John Mudie. (2) David Mudie. Only the elder is mentioned in his father's will, as a minor."
