Margaret married John ELPHINSTONE of Glack, son of John ELPHINSTONE of Glack and Anna IRVINE, by 1691.1 (John ELPHINSTONE of Glack was born about 1660.)


  Marriage Notes:

" ... He was married to Margaret Forbes in 1691 ... "

from Inverurie and the Earldom

Note: Davidson states this in relation to John's father in a sentence which simply does not make sense viz:

"The Poll Book (1696) records John Elphinstone of Glack, and his wife, Anna Irvine, with Mr. William and Patrick, his children. He was married to Margaret Forbes in 1691, but his sons must have been of an earlier marriage."

He appears to be confusing John Elphinstone, father with son, and condensing the two into one. 1
