The Reverend James Leslie may not be the son of John, sixth Earl of Rothes. He is certainly not mentioned in the Scots Peerage account of the Earl's family.

MyHeritage has published more that thirty claims that The Reverend James Leslie is the son of John, sixth Earl of Rothes, but does anyone actually have any evidence for the paternity of the Reverend James Leslie?

Origins

“THE FAMILY OF LESLIE OF TARBET”

Historical Records of the Family of Leslie from 1067 to 1868-9 ..., Volume 3 By Charles Joseph Leslie Page 30 GoogleBooks

“II. John Leslie, married Catherine Cunningham, and had issue -

I. The Rev. Dr. John Leslie.
II. Catherine, married to Archdeacon Hamilton.

“John Leslie died 26th December 1648."

I wonder if the James and John’s have been confused, there should be something in Irish Clergy or Dictionary sources.
