ELPHINSTONE, John of Glack ^{1 2}

   User ID: Y377.

John married Margaret FORBES, daughter of Mr Alexander FORBES of Ardo, then of Foveran and Margaret HUNTER, by 1691.¹ (Margaret FORBES was baptised on 8 August 1658 in Saint Nicholas parish, Aberdeen, Scotland ³.)

  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
