IRVINE, Elizabeth
(About 1625-) |
IRVINE, Elizabeth 1
User ID: D679. Elizabeth married James BURNETT of Monboddo, son of James BURNET of Craigmyle, Tutor of Leys and Elizabeth BURNET.1 (James BURNETT of Monboddo was born about 1617.) Marriage Notes: "Monboddo, in Kincardineshire, had been in the possession of a branch of the powerful family of Strachan for a long period; it subsequently belonged to the Wisharts of Pittarrow, and after them to the Carnegies. Sir John Carnegie of Monboddo married a daughter of Irvine of Kingcausie, and sold Monboddo to a brother-in-law, Captain Irvine, who is said to have served with Gustavus Adolphus, and commanded a troop of horse at the battle of Lutzen. On leaving the service in which he had been employed, he returned to this country, and took possession of Monboddo in 1633, and in 1635 built the 'Manor Place' on the site of an older building (most likely the keep long occupied by the Strachans). |
