      "George m Mary dr of Gen Scot of Invernethid yr bro of Thomas of Davidston; year of death uncertain, prob 1634 - Ross and Mackenzie apply this to son John, but original MS clearly refers to George."

      Ref. (1) says George's son, John, was a castaway at sea in 1639, in company with John Munro, Younger of Obsdale on their way to Germany, with the intention of entering the Swedish service, but it was probably George, himself, who was the castaway in about 1634.
