John ELPHINSTONE
(-1683) |
John ELPHINSTONE 2Notes: John was one of the sons of Robert Elphinstone (qv) of Hamegar near Stromness, and his heir. He was probably born at Hamegar, but moved to North Walls in Sanday. He married Jean Cock (qv) in 1647, and presumably acquired the lands of Lopness through his marriage. They had a large family, thought to have been 10 sons and seven daughters, but only five sons and five daughters have been identified with any certainty. John married Jean COK, daughter of Edward COK and Margaret BAIKIE, in 1647.1 (Jean COK died After 1678, Of in Lopness, Sanday, Orkney 4.) |
