General Notes:
"Robert, whose instrument of sasine from the Earl of Rothes, as 'nearest and most lawful heir to umquhil Thomas Lumysden of Medlar, h. broyr- german,' is dated 7th April, 1495...."
"He was concerned in the treason - real or pretended - of John, Master of Forbes... (who)...was executed in July, 1537, but his father and brother, and probably Robert Lumsden, remained in prison till the following April.
Robert had a good deal of trouble in his old age. Nineteen children were by no means an unmixed blessing, and he seems to have been freely plundered by his family, especially by his second and third sons, Matthew Lumsden of Tillycairn and Robert Lumsden of Clova, a Bailie of Aberdeen."
"Robert died in 1547-8, and the wicked ceased from troubling."
