1714.] DEATH OF THE VISCOUNTESS OF TARBAT, 1699. cxli
mentioned in them ; also Lady Colston's plaster, which Mrs. Pitcairne always
made for her. It is the emplastrum de minio cum sapone. The Nuremberg-
plaster is said to be better, being an improvement of the other.
In a letter, dated September 1699, Dr. Pitcairne mentions that he is in
haste going out of town, to be assistant at the death of James Borthwick of
Stow, last male of the royal line of the surgeon-apothecaries. 1
Notwithstanding the care of these eminent physicians, and their anxiety to
save their patient, Lady Tarbat did not survive this attack of illness, having
died in September or October 1699. Her Ladyship, as already stated, was
Anna, daughter of Sir James Sinclair of Mey, Baronet, ancestor of the later
Earls of Caithness, and Elizabeth Leslie, second daughter of Patrick Lord
Lindores. The marriage of Lord Tarbat with Anna Sinclair took place in
July 1654, a few weeks before he succeeded to his father as the second
Baronet of Tarbat. The contract for the marriage is dated at Lochsline, on
6th July 1654. His father, Sir John Mackenzie, is a party to the contract,
along with his son George ; and Sir William Sinclair of Canisby, Baronet,
is also a party for his sister, to whom he agrees to give a tocher of 12,000
merks ; and Anna Sinclair was to be infeft in Meikle Tarrell. 2 Lord and
Lady Tarbat had a family of four sons and four daughters, whose names are
all given in the pedigree.
In all the Peerage books, it is stated that Lord Tarbat had three sons,
John, Kenneth, and James ; but it appears that he had another son, Boderick,
who was his first-born son. In a signature or warrant for a charter by
King Charles the Second, the name of Boderick Mackenzie appears. The
signature is in favour of Sir George Mackenzie of Tarbat, Knight Baronet,
in liferent, and Boderick Mackenzie, his eldest lawful son, and the heirs-
male of his body ; whom failing, to John Mackenzie, his second son, and the
