Notes |
- She wrote her will on Jan 25, 1692 in Barbados. In it she names daughter, Margaret Carmichaell, gr. d. Rebecca Keith, daughter Isabella Leslie, Colonel John Leslie, son and executor and son in law Archibald Carmichael. Witnesses were Chriher Carmichael, Archibald Carmichael Jr., and Andrew Smitton. It was proved May 28, 1692. The Rebecca Keith in the above will is listed in her father, James Keith's will dated Nov. 12, 1688 in St. John's Parish, Barbados. Her mother is not listed again suggesting that her mother is one of the deceased daughters of William and Ann Leslie missing from Ann Leslie's will. Rebecca's mother could therefore be either Ann or Rebecca, though I currently have her listed as Rebecca. Ann is sometimes listed as a Forbes. However, that is because there is a Forbes that is mentioned in "Scotland, Select Marriages, 1561-1910" between Williame Lesly and Margrat Forbes; Date: 5 Dec, 1625; Marriage Place: Inverurie, Aberdeen Scotland. This might be a 1st marriage for William, or might belong to another William in the area. She is also sometimes listed as Anne Elphinstone but that one definitely belongs to another William Lesley in the area.
