Leslie of Aberdeen, Scotland

• Sources yet to be consulted:
  • More on LESLIE and WALKER in [Munro, 1897].

William Leslie,
mar --- Duncan,
had issue:

1. John Leslie, eldest son,
   merchant in Aberdeen,
   died Danzig, Poland.

2. George Leslie, 2nd son,
   mar Christian Walker [sister of Alexander Walker, Provost of Aberdeen 1697-98],
   Provost of Aberdeen 1685-87,
   he died 1692,
   she fl 1694,
   had issue:
   1. John Leslie, bapt 2 Apr 1654,
      magistrate, member of Aberdeen Council,
      [Munro, 1897] says he is probably the one who married Barbara Ædie.

The above John Leslie (bapt 1654) might be our John Leslie below, only then he would be fathering children from age 43 to 69. Not impossible, but this link perhaps needs a little more evidence:

1. John Leslie,
   Baillie (city official) of Aberdeen,
   "one of the senior magistrates of Aberdeen" [Barbara Yates Gibbon],
   mar 1st Mar 1697 [St.Nicholas', Aberdeen, her listed as "Jean" Ædie]
   to Barbara Ædie [bapt 1678, descendant of Leslie, Baron of Balquhain and of Robert III, King of Scotland and of Henry I],
   had issue:
