John Chisholm, 7th of Cromlix

Biographical Summary

"VII. John Chisholm, who, in 1661, was one of the commissioners for uplifting 40,000, a portion of which was ordered to be applied to the liquidation of a debt owing to Lord Eglington on account of a fine laid on Chisholm of Cromlix several years before. In 1663 he was a Justice of the Peace. He appears to have been twice married, without issue, the second time, in 1661, to the Lady Creich in Fife, whose "marriage feast was held at Dunbough," on the 8th of August in that year. He must have died before 1669, for in that year William Drummond, one of the Lords of the Articles, is designated "of Cromlix."
