"There is among the Curriehill papers a 'genealogy of Sir John Skene, Clerk Register, Lord Curriehill,' in which his descent is correctly stated. 'The Laird of Skene was married to my Lord Forbes's daughter, and she had to him the Laird of Skene, the elder brother, and the Laird of Ramore, the second. The Laird of Ramore was married to the Laird of Cushnie, chief of the name of Lumsden, his daughter, in Aberdeen, who bore to him the Laird of Ramore and Sir John Skene, Clerk Register.' " (page 91)
