Note:
'Christian Leslie', who married William Sinclair, has been place here, tentatively, as the daughter of George Leslie and Margaret Lundin. She may have been born outside of marriage.
Historical Records of the Family of Leslie do not mention this marriage. William, "Earl of Orkney and Caithness, Lord Sinclair," is mentioned only as the father-in-law of Andrew Leslie, Master of Rothes. The history also features a "Lady Christian Leslie, born 1450, married to George Leslie, second Baron of that Ilk" who was the daughter of the Earl of Rothes' second marriage.
It mentions only one daughter of his first marriage, Margaret, who "married Alexander Cumming of Ernside". 1 2
