notes
From The Scottish Nation: Or the Surnames, Families, Literature, Honours, and Biographical History of the People of Scotland, Volume 1 (Google eBook) William Anderson Fullarton, 1867. Page 288. "Bethune of Creich."
The latter, David Bethune, married Lady Margaret Cunninghame, third daughter of the eighth earl of Glencairn; but shehaving no family to him, and his brother William having no male children, he sold the estate of Creich to James Bethune, then friar of Balfour, reserving to himself the life rent of the most part, and to his lady the life rent of thirty-two chalders of victual. Lamont, in his Diary of Fife, mentions that this laird of Creich, soon after disposing his property, died at his dwelling-house at Denbough. 4th March 1660. The estate was afterwards united to that of Balfour.
During the period in which the Bethunes of Creich flourished, probably no family of their rank in Scotland formed as great a number of matrimonial connections with the noble and more powerful families of the kingdom than did its members.
