HAYES OF TWEEDDALE. 17
15. Sir William succeeds. He was first Lord Y ester in his mother's
right, and is so designed in ane indenture hetwixt his father, the Bishop,
and Arch-Dean of Glasgow. He gives a charter of Thankerton to one
John Geddes, which was confirmed by King Robert the Third about
1418. He married Alice Hay, daughter to Gilbert first Earle of
Errol, and had by her Thomas, and David, who succeeded, and Sir
Edmund Hay, first Laird of Linplum and Talaw, as appears by ane
charter of his brother David, granting him -the lands of Talaw. The
charter is dated apud Castrum de Febles, 10th of August 1439- Of this
Edmund Hay of Linplum, is descended Reuvice in the north ; Ringefield,

Decanus Glasguensis, and, consequently, unfit for marriage. Archibald
Dowglas, Lord Galloway, did not marry King Robert's daughter ; but
William Dowglas, his sone, who espoused iEgidia, daughter to King
Robert the Second, as appears by a charter of that King in the cartular
of Roseline, dated 16th Maii, apud Rothesay, anno Regni 19- Petrus
del Haya is found witness with Rolland, filius Uthredi, et Hugo Gifford,
to a charter of William de Morville, constable of Scotland, who died
anno 1196. The charter is granted Henrico de Santo Claro, to whom he
gives Carfraw per suas rectas divisas. Willielmus de Haya, filius Johan-
