Marriage Notes:
"Robert Skene. 5th April, 1606, sasine to Robertus Skeyne filius legitimus quondam Jacobi Skeyne de Westercorse of the lands of Rannaloch, upon disposition to him by James Skene, son and heir of Sir John Skene of Curriehill.
He was twice married, 1st to Janet Skene one of the three daughters and co-heiresses of Arthur Skene of Auchtererne, by whom he had a son, Alexander, who served heir to his mother in 1621 ; and 2nd to Helen Robertson, relict of John Vaus, portioner, of Brochton, as appears from a notice of her in that year, and Robert Skene of Rannaloch, now her spouse. In her right he appears to have obtained property in Auchtermuchty ; and, in 1620, he conveys Rannaloch and Brochholls, in the parishes of Kincardine and Cluny, to Alexander Skene of Skene, and after that date is usually designed as Robert Skene of Auchtermuchtie.
In the years, from 1597 to 1611, he appears as servitor to Sir John Skene of Curriehill. In 1599 he is designed son to James Skene of Raemoir, and in 1600 and 1601, brother's sone to Sir John."
