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.

William Leslie, 9th of Balquhain (d 1571)

William's marriages were found in RootsWeb. There is uncertainty on the order of the marriages and who was mother of whom but it appears that William's son John was probably son of Janet Forbes. As Margaret is reported to have been born in 1535 she could not have been Janet's daughter.

(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.

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.
