Will and testament of George Watson, captain in Colonel Lee`s Regiment., 12 March 1745.
Some of the items in this series belong in other parts of the Saltoun collection, but their relationship was not discovered until after the arrangement had been finalised; others may have been acquired by various members of the family.
Will and testament of William Forbous (beneficiaries include John Fletcher, burgess of Dundee)., 3 August 1563.
The family acquired various properties in Angus which were consolidated into the baronies of Innerpeffer and Turin; after Sir Andrew`s purchase of Saltoun the Angus property was sold, some to Col Sir Francis Ruthven in 1648, some to George, Lord Spynie in 1650, and some to George, Earl of Panmure in 1663; current titles will have passed to the purchasers.
Will and testament with attached letters of administration of Jessie Anna Letitia Chalmers, wife of Patrick Chalmers, M.P., antiquary, deceased., 1840.
