SIR GEORGE, THIRD BARONET
young, travelling in England, Flanders, France, Italy, Germany, and
Bohemia.
He married Barbara, daughter of Andrew Wauchope of Niddry, by
whom he had four sons and three
daughters : —
r. George, of whom afterwards.
2. James, Captain in Colonel Keith's
regiment, and resident in France, died
without issue before 1769.
3. John, a Roman Catholic priest,
born 9th November 1695, and died in
Edinburgh, 16th July 1757. At one
period he appears to have resided with the
Traquair family. On the 20th of Septem-
ber 1 7 16 he entered the Society of Jesus
at Madrid, joined the Scottish Mission in
1725, and ten years later made his solemn
vows at Aberdeen.
4. Andrew, an officer in Irelande's
(formerly Wauchope's) regiment, died
without issue, at the Camp of Randasso,
in Sicily, 10th October 17 19.
These four sons are all distinctly specified in a deed of division dated
1 2th September 17 16, and recorded in the Books of Council and Session
1 8th August 1 72 1.
Sir George Seton's three daughters were : —
1. Margaret, described in her testament-dative— which was given up
by her sisters Barbara and Mary — as ' eldest lawful daughter to the late
Sir George Seton of Garleton,' and her death took place in June 1730.
The debt owing to the deceased amounted to ^5015, 13s., which sum was
due to her by Sir George Seton of Garleton, third Baronet, by bond dated
1st December 1720, in which she is designed ' Mistress Margaret Seton,
his sister-german.' *
2. Barbara.
3. Mary, who married John Arrat of Fofarty, and on the 16th of
November 1724 granted an assignation in favour of Colonel Francis
Charteris, with consent of her curator, Mr. James Don, Advocate. On
the 1st of December 1769 Mrs. Arrat was served as ' legitima et propin-
quior hseres lines, cum beneficio inventarii,' to Sir George, ' sui fratris
germani,' which establishes the fact that before that date her three
brothers, James, John, and Andrew, must have died without issue.
Sir George Seton was succeeded, between 20th June 17 18 and 2nd
May 1720, by his eldest son,
Commissariot of Edinburgh Testaments, vol. xcv., 25th April 1733.
