  General Notes:

"That it was Sir John Hay of Snaid who succeeded his father is established beyond doubt by the charter of 4 May 1482, wherein he is expressly designed second son of the Lord Hay of Yester, his elder half-brother Thomas being then alive and not dying till 1491. He was born in or about 1469-70, and first occurs 4 May 1482, when he had a charter of the barony of Snaid, co. Dumfries, to 'John Hay, second son of John Hay of Yester, procreated betwixt him and Elizabeth Cunningham his wife, daughter of George Cunningham of Belton,' from the said George. This was confirmed by the King 17 June following."

John married Elizabeth CRICHTON, daughter of Robert CRICHTON of Kirkpatrick and Unknown.¹ (Elizabeth CRICHTON was born about 1478 and died after 1519 ¹.)

"He (Sir John Hay) married Elizabeth Crichton, who was probably of the House of Sanquhar. She survived him, and was living 1519, when the third Lord made a grant of lands with consent of Elizabeth Crichton his mother. They had issue"
