SALMON, Robert ^{1 2}

   Another name for Robert was SALMOND, Robert.³

  General Notes:

Robert is very probably, if not almost certainly, a descendant of John Salmond and Janet Waddel:

"George Waddell (aka George Weddell) is noticed on 3 November 1536, in the witness list of a charter by which Alexander Livingston of Terentera confirms that he has sold one half of the lands of Wester Dalquharne, in Slamannan parish in Stirlingshire, Scotland, to Allan Tennant (aka Alano Tennand) and his wife Margaret Horne. For greater security Allan and his wife obtained a charter of confirmation under the Great Seal of Scotland on11 December 1540. Register of the Great Seal of Scotland, 1513-1546, charter number 2237 on p. 508 On the same day George Weddell witnessed a second charter, for land in Balquhatstone, which was made in favour of John Salmond and his wife Jonete Weddell, and a third charter for land there which was made in favour of Alexander Arthur and his wife Jonete Weddell.Register of the Great Seal of Scotland, 1546-1580, charter number 909."

"George Waddell purchased one third of the lands of Balquhatstone from Alexander Livingstone of Terentera on 5 November 1536. The other two thirds was purchased by John Salmond and his wife Jonete Weddell, and by Alexander Arthur and his wife Jonete Weddell. All three men appear to have been the kindly tenants who occupied this land in the period immediately before it was set in feu to them. The fact that three different members of the Waddell family had a proprietorial interest in this land suggest that the family may have been well established there before 3 November 1536."
