&c. 20th August 1529, but she had
no issue to either.
II. Catherine, married to James Stuart
of Traquair. 1 She at last became
heir of line of the Rutherfoords of
that ilk, on which account the family
of Traquair have ever since con-
tinued to quarter the arms of Ruther-
foord with their own.
Philip died before his father, and
was succeeded by his son,
XL Richard Rutherfoord, of that ilk,
who was served heir to his grandfather
James on 5th May 1499, but he dying
without issue, there happened several
disputes with regard to the succession
to the estate, between the heirs-male
and the heirs of line.
Thomas, uncle to Richard, served him-
self heir-male to him, but Richard's eldest
sister Helen reduced that service as heir of
line ; but she dying without issue, as before
observed, Sir William Stuart of Traquair,
grandson of Catherine, served himself heir
to the said Helen, his grandmother's sister,
and got the lands of Rutherfoord and Wells
confirmed to him as heir of line, but the
barony and lands of Edzerston remained
with the heir-male, viz. : Richard, son of the
1 Chart, penes comitem de Traquair.
