   User ID: D615.

James married Barbara WISHART after 9 May 1601 (charter).¹ (Barbara WISHART was born about 1585.)

  Marriage Notes:

"James, second Laird of Lentusche, which estate, as we have seen, was made over to him in his father's lifetime. In the Charter conveying the lands to him, which was signed at Lentusche on 9th May, 1601, 'Barbara Wishart, his future spouse,' is named. A witness was James Wishart, lawful son of Alexander Wishart of Carnebeg, who was doubtless Barbara's brother or father. Registration of sasine is dated 9th May, 1607. The previous year, 1606, he had been at the horn, for what offence does not appear, and he was again at the horn in 1611 for the 'slaughter' of William Wood in Thanestoun."

"He (James Arbuthnott) was living in 1636, and was then the husband of 'Marie Fraser,' daughter of Thomas Fraser of Durris, by his wife, Isobel Fraser, daughter of Michael Fraser of Stoneywood, and sister of Andrew, first Lord Fraser. The Frasers of Stoneywood at this time held the lands of Kinmundy, afterwards known as Nether Kinmundy, in the parish of Longside, and were therefore near neighbours of the Arbuthnots of Cairngall. There is no trace of any issue by this marriage, and we know nothing further of James Arbuthnot, second of Lentusche."
