Text source

Elizabeth Robertson was the daughter of Dr James Robertson Von Struan [SSNE 1637]. In her first marriage, she wed Krigsråd Adolf Fredrik Schletzer (1615-1661), ennobled under nr. 565. This union produced several children including Frederik Wilhelm (who pre-deceased his father as an infant), Christina, Markus Reenstierna and Locritia. In her second marriage she married John Orchartoun [SSNE 3229] who was ennobled in 1664 and introduced into the Riddarhus under nr. 681. Interestingly, the two were related already as Orchartoun's mother was also called Elizabeth Robertson and was of the Struan branch of the family. The union with Orchartoun produced four children, Karl [SSNE 3230], Isabella [SSNE 6396], Anna [SSNE 6398] and James [6397]. Elizabeth died in 1689.
