James married Elizabeth HAY, daughter of Thomas HAY Viscount of Dupplin, then 7th Earl of Kinnoull and Margaret DRUMMOND, about 1714.^{1 2} (Elizabeth HAY was born about 1690 and died before December 1723 in Dupplin. Perthshire, Scotland ².)

Note:
Thomas was 7th Earl. There seems to be some doubt among some writers about the status of George Hay 3rd Earl, for in Scots Peerage (vol 5) it states:

"George, third Earl of Kinnoull, is not given by the Peerage writers, but there is undoubted evidence for hisexistence, and for some facts in his career." (page 225)




"Elizabeth, married, about 1714, to James, Earl of Findlater and Seafield. She died at Dupplin before December 1723."
