Notes:

John Leslie (c. 1630 ? July 27, 1681), son of John Leslie, 6th Earl of Rothes, was the 7th Earl of Rothes and 1st Duke of Rothes. He was a descendant of Princess Beatrix, sister of King Malcolm III of Scotland. His family had intermarried with both the Stuarts and the Bruces.
King Charles II made him the Lord High Treasurer of Scotland, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland, Lord Chancellor of Scotland for life, and President of the Privy Council of Scotland. He carried the sword of state at the coronation of Charles II. He was captured at the Battle of Worcester in 1651, returned to Scotland in 1655 and, on a payment of a fine to Oliver Cromwell, was set free. He married Anne Crawford-Lindsay, the daughter of John Lindsay, 17th Earl of Crawford. He built the Palace of Leslie (also known as Leslie House), which nearly burnt completely in a fire on Christmas Day 1763. John died at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh on July 27, 1681. He was awarded a state funeral. The funeral procession was more elaborate and impressive than either Wellington's or Churchill's. It stretched over seventeen miles (27 km) long. The cost of whole regiments of ceremonial guards, soldiers, banners, trumpets, heralds and coaches effectively ruined the family finances forever, and he left behind a huge debt to his daughter, Margaret Leslie. As he had no male issue, the Dukedom of Rothes became extinct, the Earldom only being passed to his daughter.

John married Anne Lindsay in 1648. Anne (daughter of John (6th Earl of Crawford) Lindsay and Mariotta Home) and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Aileen Foulis writes:
"In the Retours of the Heirs of Scotland and there are several entriesfor the Hopes.
I warn you though, in case you haven't met the Retours, that it is in theoriginal Scottish legal Latin! (Groan! I forgot my Latin the day after mylast exam. and that was 20 years ago!):-)
Anna inherited property from her sister Elizabeth on December 30 1637.
Father definitely Robert, an advocate, who died probably late 1632, sincethe sisters inherited together lands and mineral rights (I think) 8January 1633. No husbands mentioned for either and no sign of theirmother.
Leadhills as a name doesn't appear, funnily enough. The estate name musthave stuck later to the area and town.
Should be more to come in that line -if I ever do get hold of the Lanark
Commissary Records, that is!:-) "


There are a few gaps in the early years of the Retours, so the only Hopeof Hopetoun I found was Charles. There's an Alexander of Carse, son ofAlexander of Carse in Linlithgow and Stirling and a William, son ofThomas, son of Thomas, all of Craighall in Fife and a few others, nonevery much except for Margaret Erskine, nee Hope who left her son a realfortune in land.

I'll put in the Anna Foulis entry in the original so you can see what its
like.

Craigiehall looks a lot like Craighall, but it is in the wrong county and
associated with different names. Could cause problems though, ifresearchers are a bit careless and try to glue them together anyway.:-/

That's the lot for now."
