The daughter of
I'obcrt Wedderbuni and Janet Froster was
•'
Elizabeth Wedderburn' [14i}2?— 1572], viio married four times, viz. :
i. AlexunJer Luvell. 'I'he date of this marriage is not known, but it was before
1521, in which year (5 Nov.) she, as wife of Alexander Ogiivy, is named as " mother
of .lames Lovell, son and heir of tlie late Alexander I ovell, in regard to the
" airscliip " of iier son (^D.H.ll. 1 1
). In the following year, 5 Feb. 1.'322, she, " wife
of Alexander Ogiivy and relict of Alexander Lovell," consents to the inventory of
the airscliip goods of her son James liOvell, while her brother James Wcdderbunj
is surety for her delivery up of the same to the minor at his majority {ib. 16). Later
on, 23 Feb. 15.32, her said son gives hersasine anew of a North Marketgait life-rent
(D.l'.B. 44), so that he was then probably of age, in which case her first marriage
must have been in I51l), and her own birth date as early as 1492. Otlier references
to her and this son will be found i'.l'.B. 133, D.B 11. \\Q, &c.
ii. Alejinvler 0(/i/vi/, jirovost of Dundee. This marriage took place before
5 Nov. 1521 (D B.li. 11). She is named as Ogilvy's wife 25 Dec. 1530, when
Thomas Carale resigns a North Chakkeraw land in her favour (D.P. {!. 34), but was
again a widow before 13 Oct. 1531 (ib. 41) She was jjrobably still a widow
3 June 1 554. when there is record of Ivizabeth W'edderburn (not designed) obtaining
a license from Alexander Fife to build her mansion contiguous to Fife's wall [ib. 51 c).
iii. Archibald Campbdl of Murthlie. It does not appear how soon after
1530-31 this marriage took place, but she was again a widow before 10 A[)ril 1545,
when John Camiibell, as brother and licir of the late Archibald, sued her for the
writsof Murthlie (11. A.D. 9). There were other differences between them, all of which
were the subject of a settlement 10 A[iril 154G, when there is registered a contract,
15 March 1545-4G, between Elizabeth \\'edderburn, relict and executrix of the late
Archibald Campbell (and now spouse of Patrick Lyoun), and John Campbell to settle
their differences (ib. 10). AVhetlier this agreement was carried out seems doubtful,
as 1 4 March 1547 she and her iaisband, Patrick Lyoun, got a decree c. John Campbell
for suspension of letters by him for non-implement of their agreement (ib, 13;.-
iv. I'tttrick Lyoun, burgess of Dundee. This marriage probably took place
1545-46. It was certainly before 30 .Ian. 1547, wiien there is a gift under the Privy
Seal to Patrick Lyoun and Elizabeth Wedderburn, his wife, and the survivor of
them, of all the Queen's customs on all goods belonging to them imported at Dundee
(R P.S. 17). She is named as Lyoiui's wife 26 .March 1552, when a sum of money is
arrested in her hands (D.B.R. »4); 18 May l.'')53 [ib. 43/-/); 14 June 1558, when
Alexander Green is decreed to deliver to her "ana double ducat ' (D.B.R. )^0) •
and 16 Nov. 1558, when there is registered a tack, dated 27 Aug. ],-,50, of a
quarter of the lar.ds of Grange of Kyntreith, made by the Abbot of Cupar to her
and her husband (D.B.R. 84, and lieij. Cujar Abbey, u. i
