Marriage Notes:
"....he (Patrick Chalmers, physician in Aberdeen) married in 1681, Rachael, eldest daughter of Alexander Forbes of Foveran, with whom he received a tocher of 8000 merks, and settled in Aberdeen in 1682 ....
At the death of his father, he succeeded to the lands of Hasilhead and Smiddyhill, and to the barony of Fedderat, all in the county of Aberdeen ; but, in 1718, having been concerned in an expensive lawsuit,which was given against him, he found it necessary to make themover to trustees for the liquidation of debt, and they were sold. The lands of Hasilhead were however rebought in 1728 by his youngest son William, who had received a legacy from a female relative, Lady Strachan of Grlenkindie. These lands remained in the family for about 150 years,and were ultimately parted with in 1758, thus terminating the connection of the family with the county of Aberdeen."
