William married Cecilia ELPHINSTONE, daughter of John ELPHINSTONE of Glack and Margaret FORBES.¹ (Cecilia ELPHINSTONE was born about 1698.)

Marriage Notes:

"His (Dr Patrick Chalmers) youngest son and thirteenth child, William, became, as I have said, proprietor by purchase of Hasilhead, and ultimately, after twenty years' residence as a merchant at Gibraltar, where he held the offices of Paymaster to the Forces, Commissary-general to the Forces, and judge of the Admiralty Court, he returned to Scotland with a moderate fortune, and, after living a few years at Hasilhead, purchased, in 1753, the barony of Aldbar. He was married to his cousin-german, Cecilia, daughter of John Elphinstone of Glack ..."
