  • Born: About 1488
  • Marriage (1): BARCLAY, Alexander 7th of Mathers 1

   User ID: D517.


Marjory married Alexander BARCLAY 7th of Mathers, son of David BARCLAY of Mearns and Janet IRVINE.1 (Alexander BARCLAY 7th of Mathers was born about 1488 and died by 1520 1.)


  Marriage Notes:

"Alexander Barclay, son of David Barclay and Jonet Irvine, was already in possession of the property in the Mearns when, upon the death of his grandfather, Alexander (Mathers VI), he succeeded to the estates of Mathers, previous to 1497.

He married Marjory, second daughter of James Auchinleck, whose father, Sir John Auchinleck, had been his grandfather's old friend and associate. James Auchinleck was Laird of Glenbervie, having obtained a portion of the estate through his marriage with the younger daughter of John Melville (see Note below), the Sheriff murdered by the barons of the Mearns in 1421. It will thus be seen that any ill-feeling between those families connected with the crime had died away."

from History of the Barclay Family

Note:

Other sources agree that the wife of Sir John Auchinleck of that Ilk was a daughter of Alexander Melville of Glenbervie, a relative or descendant of Sheriff John Melville.
