Notes - Bulloch describes John Cuthbert's wife, Jean/Jane, variously as Heiress of Dalkerthy and Dalkethy. Neither of these places have been found to exist. It's possible there was a Dalkethy, derivative from Dalkeithy perhaps located nearby to Inverkeithny, about ten miles east of Keith, Banff. However the family of Hay is known to have held the estate of Delgaty which seems close enough to likely be the correct derivation. According to Bulloch: "Right Rev. William Hay, DD, of St. Andrews of the family of Park in Moray, was born 17 FEB 1647, died 1707, son of William Hay, A.M., master of the music school in old Aberdeen whom he succeeded about 1688. [He] was Minister of Perth and was consecrated Bishop of Moray, 11 MAR 1688 at St. Andrews. After he was deposed, he returned to the house of his son-in-law, John Cuthbert, where he died 17 MAY 1707. He married Mary, daughter of John Wemyss, parson of Rothes."
According to Bulloch, John Cuthbert was named in a charter dated 20 APR 1699, in which he is granted the lands and barony of Castle Hill from his father. However, John's father, George Cuthbert, 10th of Castlehill, was still alive in 1699 so the reference is confusing. Bulloch himself is confusing, at best, in his presentation of the old charters so it's hard to determine if this reference is correctly understood. John Cuthbert is included as a signatory on 9 JAN 1701 in a Petition of the Shire of Inverness 9 which included the following signatories: George CUTHBERT of Castlehill, John CUTHBERT, younger of Castlehill, ___ CUTHBERT of Ardersier, John CUTHBERT of Brackenhills, John CUTHBERT, councillor of Inverness, (another) John CUTHBERT, councillor of Inverness, William CUTHBERT, merchant, James CUTHBERT, merchant, (another) James CUTHBERT, merchant.
