  Marriage Notes:

The efforts of the cadets of the house (of Hay of Delgaty) to save the estate seem to have proved beyond their owner, and soon afterwards - at any rate in 1700 - it passed to John, 12th Earl of Erroll (A. & H. Tayler, Aberdeenshire Valuation Roll, 1667, p. 286), and by his sister the Countess it was bestowed on Alexander Falconer, he, who was born 1682, and admitted Advocate 23 Nov. 1705, is said to have 'assumed the name of Hay on succeeding to the estate of Delgaty' (Scots Peerage, V., 247), though Miss Tayler says the name and title was conferred on him by his wife. He married Mary, Countess of Erroll, but they had no issue. They still held Delgaty or 'used the title thereof' in 1722 (Trans. of Buchan Field Club, X., p. 226), but soon afterwards the barony of Delgaty passed from the family of Hay, its purchaser being Peter Garden, third son of the Laird of Troup, whose son, Francis Garden-Campbell of Delgaty, Troup, and Glenlyon, sold Delgaty to the Earl of Fife, and part of the estate, along with the old castle, eventually became the property of a younger branch of the house of Duff, the family of Grant-Duff of Delgaty."

from Transactions




"She (Mary Hay) was married to Alexander Falconer, advocate, who assumed her name of Hay, second son of Sir David Falconer of Newton, Lord President of the Court of Session, and brother of David, fifth Lord Halkerton. He acquired the estate of Dalgaty. The Countess having no issue, the title devolved on the grandson of her only sister."

from Scots Peerage (vol 3)




"Alexander, born June 1682, admitted Advocate 23 November 1705, assumed the name of Hay on succeeding to the estate of Delgaty. He married Mary, daughter of John, eleventh Earl of Erroll, Countess of Erroll in her own right. She died without issue 19 August 1758"
