Marriage Notes:
"Richard Lauder, the successor to his father's estate of Lauder, was a Senator of the College of Justice by the title of Lord Lauder, and as his successor was appointed in 1575, he is supposed to have deceased before that year. It is said, however, that his name does not appear in Brunton and Haig's Account of the Senators of the College of Justice; but on July 9, 1575, James Meldrum, younger, of Segie, is appointed an ordinary lord on the temporal side in place of William Lauder of that ilk, of whom no account is given. He married Mary MacDougal, daughter of the Laird of Mackairstone, in Teviotdale, by whom he had his eldest son"
