Marriage Notes:
"John Wyschart (70) eldest son of Sir John Wyschart of Pitarrow (58) about the year 1582 married a daughter of Forrester of Carden, Stirlingshire, a union which was most obnoxious to his father. Of this marriage were born two children, a son and daughter. The daughter whose name was Margaret (82) married Sir David Lindsay of Edzell and Glenesk (83). The son predeceased the father, unmarried. His name is not known, but we know it began with W, probably William or Walter. John (70) was on the 30th April, 1607, served heir to his father in the baronies of Pitarrow and Reidhall, and was afterwards knighted. Having become deeply involved, he sold his estates in 1615 to his brother James, and at this time his wife retired to England, where she was maintained by her relative, Lady Annandale. Sir John (70) proceeded to Ireland, where he obtained a grant of some lands in county Fermanagh."
