Marriage Notes:
"For want of heirs, Blackford fell to the Crown in the time of James VI., who granted it to Sir Malcolm of Balbertie. He sold it to Adam Urquhart of Meldrum, who soon after sold it to John Gellie, who was minister of Monymusk, and was infeft in the lands of Blackford in 1635, and died in 1637. His son, Alexander Gellie of Blackford, married Margaret Gordon of Badycaiss (Baldyquash), and had issue a daughter, Helen, who married Alexander Forbes, and thus brought to him the estate of Blackford."
