Text source

James Fernie was a captain in Swedish service and his recruited company of James Seaton's [SSNE 3474] regiment are listed in the payroll for 1615. He was still in service in 1621. This may be the same man who testified to Alexander Muir's [SSNE 7287] and Margaret Westoun's [SSNE 8356] daughter's betrothal in March 1614 (Anna Alexandersdotter [SSNE 8357]).
