About Isabel Erskine

from Wemyss Fifeshire, Scotland

"15. SIR JOHN DE WEMYSS. This Knight having only one daughter, as may be seen in the tree of the family, resigned his lands, holding of the earl of Fife, to John de Wemyss of Rivas, his cousin, and heir-male, A.D. 1376, and was succeeded by him. He married ISABELLA ERSKINE, co-heiress of Sir Allan Erskine of Inchmartine, heir-female, also of Wemyss; and A.D. 1403 obtained from King Robert the Third a charter of confirmation of all the lands disponed to his grandfather by David. He left several children, and was succeeded by his eldest son.”
