Helen Forsyth

From Stirnet's "Leslie02" page (membership required to view without interruption): "a woman of low birth"

notes

Earl George contracted with Sir John Oliphant of Kellie that the latter's son Alexander, as yet a pupil, should marry one of the Earl's lawful daughters by Margaret Crichton. Afterwards, however, the Earl fraudulently married young Oliphant to Katherine Leslie, his illegitimate daughter by Helen Forsyth, a woman of low birth, affirming that she was legitimate. On this and other more personal grounds the marriage was annulled.
