BURNET, Christian
(About 1462-) |
BURNET, Christian 1
User ID: W394. Christian married Alexander CUMYN of Coulter, son of William CUMYN of Inverallochy and Coulter and Elizabeth MELDRUM, 11 January 1480(1481)(papal dispensation). (Alexander CUMYN of Coulter was born about 1450 and died by 1505 1 2.) Marriage Notes: "Alexander Burnet died shortly before 15th July, 1505 (Antiq. Ab. Banff, III., 341), leaving issue, besides his heir Alexander, a son Andrew, witness to a sasine in 1507, and a daughter, Christian, who in 1480 or 1481 married, in terms of a papal dispensation on the ground of propinquity, Alexander Cumyn, eldest son of William Cumyn of Culter.** Notwithstanding this marriage, and the previous propinquity alluded to in the dispensation, the relations between the two families seem to have been by no means friendly. It has been seen that Tilliboy and Little Culter are described in the charter of 1324-5, conveying them to Alexander Bumard, as formerly the property of John of Walchop. It is rather left to be understood, than distinctly specified, that they had come into the King's hands by forfeiture, and it is not specified by whose forfeiture." |
