Andrew married Janet RAMSAY 'of Polton and Hillhead'. (Janet RAMSAY 'of Polton and Hillhead' was born about 1578, died in April 1617 and was buried in 1617 in Lauder Vault, Greyfriars Kirk, Edinburgh, Scotland.)
Marriage Notes:
"The third son by William (Lauder)'s first marriage removed to his mother's family at Lasswade, whether before or after the Tolbooth Raid is not known. He was:
Andrew Lauder in Melville Mill, Lasswade. His mother's family invested him in the hereditary feu of the Mill and its associated lands and his feu payments are recorded (the superiority being in the hands of James, Lord Ross of Halkhead & Melville. When Andrew's first wife died, it was recorded in her Testamentary Inventory that they owed for the ferms of the Mill of Melvinmylne to Lady Ross). There appears in The Register of the Privy Council of Scotland 1613-1616 (edited by David Masson, LL.D., Edinburgh, 1891, vol.x, p.523) a complaint made to the Privy Council on 22nd May 1616, by Andrew Lauder in Melvill Mill, against Thomas Andrew at Polton Mill for payment of a debt. (Found in Lauder's favour.) His first wife was Janet (commonly called Bessie), daughter of David Ramsay of Polton & Hillhead (cadet of Dalhousie), by his wife a daughter of Sir William Sinclair of Roslin, Justice-General. Janet died in April 1617 and she was interred in the Lauder burial vault in Greyfriars.
Her testament is interesting: ' "Bessie" Ramsay spouse of Andrew Lauder in Melvilmylne, parish of Lasswade, who died in April 1617, given up by her spouse in name of their (presumably only surviving) children, John, Bessie and Jean.'
Debts were owed to them by William Sinclair of Roslin; David Ramsay of Hilheid (her father); the deceased Nicol Ramsay of Cockpen (cadet of Dalhousie); Gilbert Duncan, burgess of Edinburgh; William Johnston and William Cruickshank there; Robert Thomson, goldsmith and James Traquair - total £2,534/6/8d. A significant amount of money at that time. Her father stood as Cautioner."
