  Marriage Notes:

"Elizabeth (Ogilvy), married to Sir Patrick Ogilvie, younger of Inchmartine, who succeeded his father-in-law as second Earl of Findlater." (page 29)

"On 18 October 1641 the Earl (James Ogilvy, 1st of Findlater) received a second patent from the Crown, setting forth that having no heir-male of his body, and his eldest daughter being united in marriage to Sir Patrick Ogilvy, younger of Inchemartine, he had granted to Sir Patrick the estates of Findlater and Deskford, failing heirs of his own body. It was accordingly declared that in the event of the death of the Earl without issue male, the title should continue in the person of Patrick and his heirs-male, and that they should be designed Earls of Findlater, Lords Ogilvy of Deskford and Inschmairtene, Patrick during his father-in-law's lifetime enjoying the title of Lord Deskfurde and Inschemairtene, with precedence as if he had been the eldest son of the Earl." (page 28)

"Sir Patrick Ogilvy, younger of Inchmartine, son of the preceding, was married to Elizabeth Ogilvy, the eldest daughter and heiress of James, Lord Ogilvy of Deskford, and from 18 October 1641 he was known as Lord Deskford. Under that title he was served heir to his father in the lands and baronies of Erroll, Inchmartine, and Dronlaws 5 October 1652. The estate of Inchmartine was sold in that year to Sir Alexander Leslie, first Earl of Leven. Upon the estate becoming the property of the Earl, he changed its name to Inchleslie. Lord Deskford succeeded to his father-in-law as second Earl of Findlater in 1652. On 12 April 1654 he was fined £1500 by Cromwell." (page 35)
