| When George died, in 1463, the lands of Leswalt
and Cruggleton reverted to the crown, as a consequence of the forfeiture
of all of the 8th Earl of Douglas
properties in 1456. They were appropriated by Mary of Gueldres, the
Queen Mother.
They were subsequently claimed by Gilbert Kennedy (later Lord Kennedy),
a half brother to George, through his
mother's second marriage of Dunure for his son, John. These passed to
his son, Alexander, who made them over to his brother, David, 3rd Lord
kennedy, from whom the earls of Cassilis are descended.
Father: William Douglas of
Leswalt
Mother: Katherine Maxwell
