General Notes: "Ardtannies in Mr. James Mill's time, was the residence in succession of Leslie of Wardes the proprietor, of Walter Innes the wealthy miller of Inverurie, brother-in-law probably of the laird of Glack, of Gilbert Johnston, Caskieben's next younger brother, of William Coutts the young laird of Auchtercoull, newly wedded to a daughter of the baronet of Cluny, and of John Leslie of Badifurrow, Kincraigie's second son ; all of whom were in their turn wadsetters of Ardtannies. The Blakhalls of that Ilk, Coroners and Foresters of the Garioch were close by, and in near neighbourhood, James Elphinstone of Glack, father-in-law in 1630 apparently to both the middle aged minister of Inverurie and Monkegy, and to Alexander Leslie of Tullos then a young man, who forty years afterwards became fourteenth baron of Balquhain, and a Count of the Holy Eoman Empire which dignity his brother Walter, pushing his fortunes abroad, had attained in the service of Austria." James married Elizabeth WOOD, daughter of Sir Patrick WOOD of Bonnytoun and Jean STEWART.1 (Elizabeth WOOD was born about 1582.) Marriage Notes: " Wood, Elizabeth, wife of James Elphinstone ..." |
