Notes:

The younger son
Sir William Elphinstone was the secretary of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia.[12] In 1613 he argued with Hans Meinhard von Sch?nberg over cost-cutting measures in Elizabeth's household and resigned his post as secretary.
In 1626 he was a promoter of the colonial schemes of William Vaughan in Newfoundland at Cambriol.
He was cup-bearer to Charles I, Lord Justice General in Scotland (1635-1641), and knighted at Whitehall in February 1637. He and the Bishop of Galloway were targeted by protesters against the new prayer book on 18 October 1637.
