Marriage Notes: "He (Patrick Lyon) married (contract dated at Holyrood 23 August 1662) Helen Middleton, second daughter of John, Earl of Middleton, then Lord High Commissioner. The ceremony was performed on the same day by Archbishop Sharpe, the Earl being then nineteen years and four months of age. In that very human document, the Glamis Book of Record, no episodes make more delightful reading than those in which the Earl refers to his wife ; these disclose a rare picture of domestic felicity, and they were sweethearts to the end." |
