  Marriage Notes:

Referring to the Borthwick article in The Scots Peerage, volume two, though not to the above quotation, volume nine, states:

"p. 95, 1. 20, after ' him ' add note, ' On 1 May 1411 a dispensation was issued for the marriage of William Borthwick and Beatrice Sinclair, but there is no clue as to which William Borthwick is meant (Reg. Aven., 337, BORTHWICK 39 f. 170). He had a daughter (see Note below), Janet Borthwick, for whose marriage to Adam Hepburn, lord of Hailes, a Papal dispensation was granted on 2 November 1411 (Reg. Aven., 339, f. 549).' " (pages 38 and 39)

from Scots Peerage (vol 9 Addenda et Corrigenda)

Note:

Gordon MacGregor clarifies the somewhat erroneous information of the above quotation:

1
The Janet Borthwick who married Adam Hepburn was the daughter of Sir William Borthwick of Catcune and of that Ilk.

2
Beatrice Sinclair married the brother of the Janet Borthwick who married Adam Hepburn.

3
The brother who married Beatrice Sinclair had, by that marriage, a daughter, also named Janet, who married James Douglas and George Crichton.
