Marriage Notes:
"James Elphinstone
Not much is known of him, but as his father resigned his lands in favour of his grandson John in 1477, the presumption is that he must have died in or before that year vita patris. He is said to have married Isabella Bruce, and to have had three sons :
1. John.
2. Alexander, mentioned as brother of John in an entail of Pittendreich 21 December 1496, and in another of Craigrossy 12 August 1502. He is also described as of Scottistoun in an obligation which he made on 20 February 1508 to resign his lands of Gargunnock and others in favour of Alexander, first Lord Elphinstone, his ' dearest eme'.
3. William Elphinstone, rector of Clatt, co. Aberdeen. He became tutor to his grand-nephew Alexander, second Lord Elphinstone, an office which he resigned 15 March 1518, in favour of Robert Elphinstone, rector of Kincardine, who, as he is described as 'cousin ' of Lord Elphinstone, was probably a son of Thomas, the brother of the first Lord. With his brother Alexander, he was one of the ambassadors for Scotland who received a safe-conduct on 7 July 1486 to pass between Scotland and England at pleasure. He died before 21 July 1531 ."
