Research Notes:
AUCHTERERNE
"The property of Auchtererne, afterwards called Waterearn, is in the parish of Logie Coldstone, and the Skenes seem from an early period to have had a hereditary right to the vicarage of Logie, in connection with which they had a possession called Tullinturk, in the neighbouring parish of Kincardine O'Neill. It is extremely difficult to trace a connected pedigree of this family.
In 1443 we find Robertus Skene, vicarius de Logymar; and, again, a hundred years later, we have in 1551 Mr. Robert Skene, vicar of Logy; and, in 1555, he appears as Mr. Robert Skene in Tullinturk. In the register of the Privy Seal we find 'Preceptum legitimationis Jacobi Skeyne, Arthuri Skeyne, Johannis Skeyne, Roberti Skeyne et Gilberti Skeyne bastardorum filiorum Magistri Roberti Skeyne, vicarii de Logymar in communi forma apud Edinr. penult die mensis Februarii, 1553.' "

John married Margery AUCHTERERNE co-heiress of Auchtererne, daughter of John AUCHTERERNE and Unknown, before 18th February 1506.1 (Margery AUCHTERERNE co-heiress of Auchtererne was born about 1475 and died by 7 December 1543 1.)
Marriage Notes:
"The first Skene of Auchtererne we find on record is I. John Skene, who married one of the two co-heirs of Auchtererne of that ilk. On 18th February, 1506, there was a charter to John Skene and Margery Auchtererne, his spouse, one of the daughters and heirs of John Auchtererne, and the heirs of the marriage; whom failing, the nearest and lawful heirs of the said Margery, of the half of the lands of Auchtererne, with the half of the Blackmill."
