Notes |
- Catherine, the younger daughter, married William Wallace, younger of Elderslie. And on the 20th June 1606, John Wallace of Craigie ratified a disposition previously granted by him to William Wallace, younger of Elderslie, and Catherine Wallace, spouses, of the lands of Burnbank.
On 15th December 1597, John, eighth Lord Maxwell, with several cautioners, including John Maxwell of Kirkconnel and George Maxwell of Dramcoltram, became bound to pay to John Wallace, younger of Craigie, 7000 merks as dowry with his sister Margaret Maxwell. The dowry was made payable on the 10th November 1599, and as it was not paid, the right of recovering the money was by Mrs John Wallace transferred to Catherine Wallace, one of her husband's sisters. By a legal act this gentlewoman compelled George Maxwell of Drumcoltram, one of Lord Maxwell's cautioners, to pay the amount to her and her husband, William Wallace, younger of Elderslie. To Edward, son of George Maxwell of Drumcoltram, the sum was, in January 1633, refunded by the grantor's brother, Robert, first Earl of
Nithsdale.
