CUMING, John progenitor of Cumings of Inverallachie 1
Another name for John was CUMYN, John.2 User ID: Z190. General Notes: "Ferquhard Cumyn of Altre married Janet, daughter of John Cameron of Lochyell, chief of that clan, by whom he left three sons -1, Alexander, his heir; 2, Thomas; and, 3, John, mentioned in 1422 in a donation to the Abbey of Cambuskenneth." John married. Marriage Notes: "In some old writings this John, third son of Ferquhard Cumyn, is called 'progenitor of the Cummings of Inverallachie,' by his son Jordanus. If so, John must have married the heiress of that branch of Aberdeenshire Cumyns, and his son must have been named after its first founder, 'Jurdan Cumyn,' whose charter, from Alexander Earl of Buchan, dates from 1277, of which also there is a confirmation charter by King James III. in Pub. Archiv., dated 12th April 1475, in which the first grant of 1277 is mentioned." |
