  Marriage Notes:

"William (Livingston), sixth Lord Livingston, had (1 October 1553) a confirming charter in favour of himself and Agnes Fleming his spouse of annualrents from various lands of which he was superior, on his own resignation and that of his curators, John, Archbishop of St. Andrews ; Janet, Lady Fleming ; and Mr. Alexander Livingston of Dunipace. His succession to other parts of the family estates involved payment of large sums to the Exchequer for their relief from the accumulation of Crown duties. (page 439)

"He married, about 1553, Agnes Fleming, second daughter of Malcolm, third Lord Fleming, by his wife Janet Stewart, an illegitimate daughter of King James IV. Whether Lady Livingston survived her husband has not been ascertained. Both are said to have been buried in Falkirk churchyard, and two recumbent figures near the family tomb are supposed to represent them. More probably, however, these belong to an earlier period." (page 442)
