  Marriage Notes:

"Walter Barclay married Elizabeth or Elspeth Hay, daughter of Alexander Hay of Dalgetty, probably in the year 1553, as at that date there is a confirmation of a charter by Patrick Barclay (Towie XV), by which, for sums of money and other services done to him by Alexander Hay of Dalgetty, he conveys to Elizabeth alias Elspeth Hay, daughter of the said Alexander, the lands of Drumquhendill, including the Clayhills and the north side of the Intoun of Meikle Drumquhendill in the parish of Ellon, sheriffdom of Aberdeen, to be held of the Queen. Dated at Tollie, August 26th, and the confirmation at Linlithgow, September 1,1553. This grant was probably in the nature of a marriage settlement, as we find Walter and Elizabeth consenting to dealings in these lands in 1562."
