Marriage Notes: "By his second wife, Elizabeth Menzies of Pitfoddels, whom he (John Lumsden, 8th Laird, 4th of Cushnie) married 10th February, 1565, he had one son, Alexander, and, says the Cushnie MS., 'he did brake the house and gave out of his auld heritage the lands of Clova and Medians, being the third of his estate,' to this Alexander - an unwarrantable generosity which the writer (Robert, the tenth laird) very naturally resented." Elizabeth next married William KING of Barra, son of James KING of Barra and Elizabeth GRAY. (William KING of Barra was born about 1538.) Marriage Notes: "William King married, thirdly, in 1583, Elizabeth Menzies, daughter of the Laird of Pitfoddels, and widow of John Lumsden of Clova." |
