  Marriage Notes:

"Helen, married, first, to John Macfarlane of Arrochar, and was, by him, the mother of Walter Macfarlane, the eminent antiquary"

from Scots Peerage (vol 1)




"Lady Helen Arbuthnott, daughter of Robert, third viscount of Arbuthnott, and widow of the Macfarlane of Macfarlane"

from Dictionary of National Biography

Note: The Scots Peerage, volume 1, places Helen Arbuthnott as the daughter of the second viscount of Arbuthnott and his second wife. The dates are more consistent with this placing when it is considered that she married twice, and that her 1710 marriage was her second marriage. ^{2 3}
