Notes: This person, with 6 others, was charged with using witchcraft, consulting witches, and poisoning to kill John and Alexander Erskine, sons to the late David Erskine in Logy. I suspect this is a dynastic struggle, since the only listed commissioner for this group trial was Johnne Erskine, 7th Earl of Mar.
