"Mr George Skene of Rubislaw 1707-1708, at the time he succeeded to the estate, in 1707, was Professor of Philosophy and Regent of King's College, Aberdeen, an office which he had held since 1686. 'His stipend, as Professor of Philosophy, was £175 Scots, 15 bolls of bear, and 9 bolls of meal. The ancient mansion which he inhabited in Old Aberdeen, opposite the College, was taken down in 1816. He married his cousin, Catharine Adie, and had a numerous family. Tradition reports his having been visited, a year after his marriage, by three heavy misfortunes at the same time. A careless nurse overlaid his eldest son, by which the infant was smothered; the woman fled in the middle of the night and never more heard of. His house was consumed by fire, and the family obliged to take shelter with their neighbours. The third misfortune I do not recollect' (MS.E).
He had by Catherine Adie, daughter of David Adie of Newark, his wife, the following children :
I. George Skene, who succeeded him.
II. Robert Skene died unmarried in March 1709.
III. Janet Skene married John Anderson, Professor in Marischal College.
IV. Katherine Skene married Alexander Thomson (see Note below), advocate, in Aberdeen, and died 4th March, 1776, aged 73.
