Single page of notes on Skene by Barbara Yates Gibbon

Single page of notes on Skene by Barbara Yates Gibbon, 21 Mar 1872.
In Gibbon papers.

The descent of Gibbon through Yeats from Skene (and hence the Kings of Scotland) can be worked out from this single page.
Also [Munro, 1897] provides independent evidence. This says that William Forbes Gibbon is a descendant of Katherine Skene and David Ædie.
