  Marriage Notes:

"Alexander Cleland - 11th Cleland of that ilk. (Chief. 1547-159 ?.) Son of James, 10th Cleland of Cleland; married a daughter of Hamilton of Haggs. Mentioned in 1565. He at least was alive in 1572, since Wm. Cleland, younger, of Cleland (evidently his son) is mentioned at that date by the title 'younger.' Grossart says he died near the beginning of the 17th Century.
'Alexander Cleland of that ilk, eminent for his loyalty on behalf of Queen Mary : he married Margaret, a daughter of Hamilton of Haggs by whom he had William his son and successor.' (Nisbet, 1722.)
'Haggs is now Rosehall. He was one of those summoned to appear before Parliament the 12th March 1565, to see and hear the doom of forfaltour ordourly led against them for the crimes committit be them contenit in said summons." (Grossart's 'History of the Parish of Shotts,' 1880)"
