RELATIONSHIP
Fasti Ecclesiae put forward this man as brother of the Bishop of Aberdeen, Peter Blackburn, but Archibald Blackburn's dates do not allow him to be the son of the marriage of Peter Blackburn and Isabel Johnston. He may be a natural son, a son of an earlier marriage, or a brother or half-brother of the bishop. Moreover, if he had been his son, Peter and William would have been older brothers since they were served heir, the first to his father in 1616, the second to his brother in 1619, and Archibald was alive, according to Fasti, in 1623. 1
Peter married.1
Peter next married Isabel JOHNSTON, daughter of George JOHNSTON of that Ilk and Christian FORBES, 13 October 1586(proclamation).1 (Isabel JOHNSTON was born about 1568.)
