LESLIE, John of Badifurra
- Born: About 1570
- Marriage (1): STRACHAN, Marjory of Tipperty
General Notes:
As a part of the possessions of the Abbey of Lindores, the lands and fishings of Badifurrow were given to Patrick Leslie by James VI., c.1600, when he was created Lord Lindores.
"In 1621, John Leslie of Wardes gave a charter of Ardtannies to William Coutts, appearand of Auchtercoull, and Janet Gordon, his wife; which couple had a son, Alexander, christened there in 1622, and Kobert, the year after; the baronet of Cluny, Sir Alexander Gordon, and his son, and the laird of Wardes, being witnesses. That period was a rude enough one in such houses. Mr. Mill (the minister) records a homicide, at Ardtannies, thus :
'John Johnston, callit of Inglistown, son to umquhill Patrick Johnston, dwelling in Inverurie, upon the sevent day of May, 1623, being Saturday, at Ardtannies, was woundit in the left side of his head by ane gryte straik, alledgit strucken by John Leslie of Badifurra, in ane meeting after drinking. Stricken down of the straik, departit this life the 28th May, being Thursday, at nicht buriet in Monkeggy.'"
"John Leslie of Badifurrow, Kincraigie's second son.."
from Inverurie and the Earldom of the Garioch
John married Marjory STRACHAN of Tipperty, daughter of John STRAQUHAN of Tibbertie and Unknown. (Marjory STRACHAN of Tipperty was born about 1570.)
