William married Catherine STRACHAN, daughter of Alexander STRACHAN younger, of Brigton of Kinnettles and Elizabeth OCHTERLONY.1 (Catherine STRACHAN was born about 1585.)
Marriage Notes:
"The immediate progenitor (of Ogilvys of Barras) was William, second son of John Ogilvy of Balnagarrow, in Forfarshire, whose wife was the only daughter of James Ogilvy of Balfour. This William came to Dunnottar as a boy in the train of his kinswoman Dame Margaret, daughter of the fifth Lord Ogilvy of Airlie, and second wife of George, fifth Earl Marischal. From the seventh Earl, William, in 1643, acquired in wadset the lands of Lumgair, a purchase which may be said to have secured the permanent settlement of the family in the Mearns. He married Catherine, daughter of Strachan of Bridgeton, and widow of Patrick Anderson of Uras."
