Topic: Laurence Abernethy, 1st Lord Abernethy


  
  ABERNETHY, LORD SALTOUN
Lord Saltoun thinks that these ladies were different persons, but though the recurrence of the same Christian name amongst brothers and sisters is by no means uncommon, it is unlikely that two out of three daughters should have had the same name.
Lord Saltoun died in June 1488, the period at which the eventful battle of Sauchieburn was fought, but whether he met his death on that field is not known.
In connection with this an extraordinary fraud was perpetrated by James Abernethy, an Advocate and Clerk of Session, brother of Alexander Abernethy of Auchencloich and Mayen, and son of Thomas Abernethy of Barrie, whose father was third son of the sixth lord Saltoun.
