   User ID: C566.

William married Elizabeth HAY, daughter of William HAY 4th Earl of Erroll and Christian LYON, by 25 July 1512(charter).^{1 2} (Elizabeth HAY was born about 1504 and died in October 1574 ².)

  Marriage Notes:

"Elizabeth, contracted to William, fifth Lord Saltoun.This Lord Saltoun is usually said to have married Elizabeth Hay, daughter of John, Lord Hay of Yester, and as his son and heir seems not to have been born till 1536, it may well be that Elizabeth Hay his mother was a different person from this Elizabeth who was contracted in 1511."

from Scots Peerage (vol 3)




"He (William Abernethy) married, in or before 1512, Elizabeth Hay, daughter of William, fourth Earl of Erroll. On 25 July of that year there is a confirmation of a charter of date two days previous, by Alexander, Lord Abernethy, to his son William and his wife Elizabeth Hay, of the lands of Dalders in Stirlingshire, but it is probable that they were both very young at that time, as their eldest son was not born till 1537.
