General Notes:
"William Murray of Tullibardine, who succeeded his father in 1452, was steward of Strathearn 1454, Sheriff of Perth, and bailie of the earldom of Strathearn 1456, Sheriff of Banff 1457, and keeper of Doune Castle, for which he received 20 yearly 1456 to 1458. He was probably the 'William Murray' who appears in the writ of 19 June 1442, as one of the arbiters between Lord Ruthven and the town of Perth. His seal has neither crest nor supporters, but only, on a shield, a chevron between three stars. He was also scutifer to the King, and is so called in a charter, dated 30 October 1455, granting him the right of patronage of the chaplainry, the service of which was then transferred from Muthill to Tullibardine, and in a charter under the Great Seal, 10 March 1457, by which the lands of Tullibardine, Gask, and others, were regranted to him and his heirs-male, whom failing, to his brothers successively in tail male."
