George Leslie, 1st of Balquhain (d c1351)

m. Elizabeth Keith

BLG1850 (Leslie of Balquhain) identifies George's wife as 'Elizabeth Leslie, daughter of the Baron of Inverugie' but, as shown on Keith03, the first person known by that name did not marry until 1365 and so could not have been Elizabeth's father.

(B)

George Leslie of Drummuir

BP1934 (Leven & Melville) disagrees slightly with BLG1888 (Leslie of Kininvie) inasmuch that it identifies this George as brother of Alexander who succeeded to their father Alexander rather than brother of Walter. As TSP (Leven) reports that George may have been the third son of Alexander, 1st of Kininvie, we suppose that there may have been another elder brother Alexander (not shown here) who may or may not have dvp.

George Leslie of Balgonie (Bailie of Atholl then Captain of Blair Atholl Castle)

TSP reports that Earl Alexander had a half-brother George. It is an assumption that that George was by his father's 1st marriage rather than his 3rd.

TSP reports that George had a legitimate daughter Margaret who married twice, firstly in 1643 and again after her first husband died in 1647. It is an assumption that she was by Margaret Stewart who, according to BLG1952 (Steuart-Menzies of Culdares), did have issue by George.
