Marriage Notes:
"The third Laird of Boyndlie, named like the second, Alexander, was better known as the Tutor o[ Boyndlie or the Tutor of Pitsligo, as for many years he managed the affairs of the infant son of his second cousin, Alexander, 10th Laird and 1st Lord Pitsligo, who died in 1636, only three years after his elevation to the Peerage, and , according to one account, 'not long after his majority.' The 2nd Lord must have "come of age" at least in 1657, but he did not grant discharge to his Tutor until I686, and in the Valuation Roll of the County of Aberdeen for 1667 the Tutor of Pitsligo is still assessed by that title for his old estate in the Parish of Coldstone, while Lord Pitsligo appears for his own in the Presbytery of Deer. The Tutor married (1) Margaret Forbes of Rires..."
