  Marriage Notes:

"We also find, in the genealogy of the Cheynes, given in the Aberdeenshire Collections, as extracted from two MS. quarto vols, said to have been in the hands of George Leslie of Eden, which gave the history of that family from the days of Alexander III., the following:

'Francis, Lord Cheyne, of Inverugie and Essilmount, had by his wife "Isabel," daughter of John Cumin, Earl of Buchan, besides his heir ' Francis Cheyne,' Sir Reginald Cheyne of Straloch, and Henry, Bishop of Aberdeen. The descent is traced from Sir Reginald, through seven generations, to John Cheyne, who had six daughters, of whom "Isabel," the eldest, married Sir Patrick Leslie of Eden, Provost of Aberdeen.' "
