Jean married Arthur FORBES 9th (10th) Lord Forbes, son of John FORBES 8th Lord Forbes and Janet SETON, 5 February 1599(1600) in Edinburgh, Scotland.1 (Arthur FORBES 9th (10th) Lord Forbes was born on 25 April 1581 1 and died in September 1641 1.) Marriage Notes: "Arthur (Forbes), as seen in his father's accounts, was married on February 5th, 1600, to Jean Elphinstone, second daughter of Alexander, Master of and afterwards fourth Lord Elphinstone. Of this wedding it is recorded in the Diary of Robert Borrell, Burgess of Edinburgh, 1532-1605, MS. in the Advocates' Library, that the gaieties accompanying it were so great that the beginning of the Church's fast of Lent had to be postponed. The fasts and feasts of the Church were already beginning to be of less importance in a Scotland which followed the Protestant faith." |
