Notes |
- Of the house of Coates, its founder undoubtedly was the prosperous and talented trader, and good citizen of Edinburgh, John Byres, born in 1569, who was of the same stock as the Byres of the counties of Haddington and Lanark, &c. (In the last century, a branch of the family owned in 1661 the estate of Strathaven) By his first wife, Dame Margaret Barclay, the Laird of Coates had daughters only ; but by his second wife, Agnes Smyth he had at least five sons.
