  • Notes 
    • Laurence,"in 1659, had the estate settled on him by his father, and was styled Younger of Gask. He m. in 1661, Anne, daughter of Sir George Preston, of Valleyfield" . [ notes: He died 1672, before his father, so he never held the Gask title. His wife remarried to James HAY. His son William became "of Gask" after Laurence SR died, but William died w/o issue in 1704 and the title reverted to his cousin James, a son of Patrick.Main sources: BLG1886 (Oliphant of Gask), BLG1952 (Kington-Blair-Oliphant of Ardblair), BLG1886 (Oliphant of Condie), BLG1886 (Oliphant of Rossie Hill), BLG1952 (Oliphant, formerly of Condie) http://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/british/oo/oliphant3.htm
