STRACHAN, Isobell 2
Another name for Isobell was STRACHAN, Isobel.1 User ID: D83. General Notes: "STRACHAN Isobell married James LUMSDEN, son of William LUMSDEN in Stonebridges, Kildrummy, then tacksman in Titaboutie and Jean GORDON, in 1714.1 (James LUMSDEN was born about 1693.) Marriage Notes: "A cousin of Harry (Lumsden)'s - the youngest son of his uncle William - married in 1714 Isobel, the daughter of John Strachan, senior, a merchant in Aberdeen. The marriage contract is dated at Glenkindie, so I presume the lady was some near relation of Sir Patrick Strachan, but beyond that I know nothing about her. She had a portion of 2000 merks, which her husband assigned to David Lumsden of Cushnie, and so Harry, as David's heir, was drawn into the net. James Lumsden seems to have been a rolling stone, frequently abroad, and always leaving his wife destitute. On the 3rd January, 1724, one John Strachan writes from Leith to his namesake in Aberdeen : |
