18 GENEALOGIE OF THE
nis de Haya miles, Dominus de Locharward, confirms to the monks of
Newbottle, Peteram de Locherward quae vocatur menestroclier, quam
Robertus, filius David de Lindesay, filii Roberti, quondam Domini de
Lochorne, et ipsius pater, eis dedit, et ab specialem amorem quern gerit
erga eos, remittit eis libram piperis quam dictus Robertus, sibi, et haere-
dibus reservaverat in sua charta. The witnesses are, Willielmus Epis-
copus Sancti Andrese, Dominus Robertus Abbas de Sancta Cruce de
Edinburgh, Domini Hugo de Barkelay Justiciarius Laudoniae, et Willi-
elmus de Sancto Claro Vicecomes de Edinburgh. So it appears that the
lands of Locharward came to the Hays from the Lindesays ; and as to
the year, it's easie to instruct that it must be about 1292, seeing this
Willielmus de Sancto Claro, Vicecomes de Edinburgh is one of the prin-
cipall witnesses to a charter of John Abbot of Newbottle, granting, anno
1292, Willielmo Bysitt, militi et heredibus suis, clameum quod eis
competit, in terra quae fuit, Resii, filii Roberti, in tenemento de Merton.
The said Willielmus de Haya dominus de Locharward, is witness with
the forementioned Willielmus de Sancto-Claro vicecomes, to a charter,
Hugonis de Riddell militis, domini de Craneston, containing ane agree-
ment betwixt the said Hugo Riddell and the Abbot of Newbotle, anent
the bounding of Cranston, Newbotle, and Gocelinton. The same
Willielmus de Haya is witness to a charter granted to the Monks of
Newbotle, by Willielmus de Sancto Claro Miles, whereby, he acknow-
ledges him bound to pay, annuatim, ad portam Monasterii de Newbotle,
sex solidos et octo denarios infra octo dies Penticostes, et sex solidos et
octo denarios infra octavam Sancti-Martini in hieme, sub psena unius
marcse eisdem solvendae, qualibet hebdomada post terminum praedictum,
si dicta annua pecunia eisdem non fuerit persoluta, pro terra de Ralmyren,
quam, eidem Willielmo de Sancto Claro dederant monachi praedicti.
This Willielmus de Haya swears fealty to Edward the First of England,
and his heirs, at Berwick, the 28th of August 1296. Whether or not
there was ane other Willielmus do Haya that succeeded, I know not,
