"James Graham of Poltoun and Edinburgh m. Agnes Denholme (dau of John Denholme of Westshields)"

from stirnet.com




"Agnes, third daughter of John Denholme of Westshields,' married James Graham of Poltoun, and was mother of James Graham of Airth, born 8th December 1676. This John Denholme was brother of Catherine Denholm mentioned in note 5, supra"

from Notes on the Family of Denhham

Note:

It is likely that the Catherine mentioned in note 5:

"Catherine, daughter of Denholm of Westshiels,' married, circa 1680,
James Hamilton, second son of aforesaid Lord Presmennan, who also be
came a Judge of Session in 1712 under the title of Lord Pencaitland."

was related to Agnes, but the chronology does not allow her to be the aunt of Agnes. Agnes was married in 1666, but Catherine's children were being baptised in the mid 1680s. 1 2 3 4
