  Marriage Notes:

(At Birse in 1618)

"John Rose of Easter Clune, son of James R., min. of Second Charge, Aberdeen; educated at King's College, Aberdeen; M.A. (1613); adm. before 17th June 1618; suspended 7th July 1640 for not subscribing the Covenant, but did 'with tears' about three or four weeks later, and was enjoined to preach several penitential sermons 'disclaiming Episcopacy, Perth Articles, the High Commission, Book of Canons, Common Prayers, and the like'; which he did on 27th April 1641, when it is recorded that 'this preaching was pleasantly heard, and he esteemed a good bairn, however he was before'; dep. in 1649 for his Royalist principles. He was fined at several times 5000 merks, imprisoned in Edinburgh Tolbooth nine months together, and forced to lend 4000 merks on the public bonds to carry on the unnatural war. His house was frequently plundered by the Parliamentary army, so that he lost at least £20,000. He was reponed in 1661 on the recommendation of John, Earl of Middleton, he having been 'most unjustlie thrust out for his loyaltie and fidelitie to His Majestie's interest'; re-adm. before 16th April 1661; allowed 200 by Parliament 21st June that year, on account of his sufferings, but did not enjoy his place above six months, and died in 1661.

He marr. (1) 1621, Jean Troup of Balnacraig : (2) Elizabeth Wood (who survived him, and marr. (2) Patrick Coutts of Balgreen), and had issue Alexander, min. of Monymusk; Arthur, Archbishop of Glasgow and St Andrews; Captain James; Marjorie (marr. William Douglas of Blackmiln, min. of Aboyne). [Spalding Miscell, iii., 130 ; Acts of Parl., vii., 281, App. 78, 79, 88; Family of Kilravock; Aberdeen Sas., ix., 265;G. R. Inhib., 21st Feb. 1677.]"

Note:

There are some practical difficulties with the date of marriage given here.
Fasti Ecclesiae states that the couple's son Alexander Rose became minister at Insch in 1635, which suggests an earlier marriage. Could 1621 be a misprint for 1612? 1
