ELPHINSTONE, William 2nd of Glack 1
User ID: Y362. General Notes: "The Elphinstones of Glack seem to have belonged to the party of the Forbeses, and were sharers in the unquiet life of the period. In 1533, William Forbes of Corsindae presented himself within the larger chamber of the Palace of the Bishop of Aberdeen, as cautioner for William Elphinstone of Glack, and Symon Elphinstone, that, as satisfaction for a homicide, they, though 'sobir in guidis,' would pay ten merks to the wife and bairns of the slain man, and go to the three heid pilgrimages in Scotland and get masses said for his soul.' " William married Elizabeth CROMME.1 (Elizabeth CROMME was born about 1515.) Marriage Notes: "William Elphinstone was infeft in Glack in 1515. He appears in history, in 1523; and his wife, 'Elizabeth Cromine, goodwife of Glack,' as also Mallota Elphinstone, probably a sister or daughter, voted, in 1550, in the election of a Parish Clerk of Daviot." |
