Marriage Notes:
"John was succeeded in 1500 by Andrew Duff, said by Baird to be his son, but the Rcgistrum Magni Sigilli, 1504, says nephew (nepos Johannis), though the word may mean, as it often docs, grandson, and refer to John, third of Muldavit, brother of Thomas, leaving out Andrew's immediate predecessor. In any case, he redeemed tlie wadset upon Muldavit granted i)y his grandfather, John Duff [ .... ]
"Andrew married Helen Hay, grandchild of John Hay, Lord of the Forest of Boyne, Enzie and Tillibady. After his death, Helen built the Duff aisle in the church of Cullen, and left some land for its upkeep, and placed the following inscription in the church :
'John Hay, Lord of the Forest Bon, Aze, Tolbovil, gudsir to Elen Hay yt bigit yis He left a chaplari heir to sing personali of his ladis of Ordihuf',
with the craftsman's Z mark.
Round the window is also :
'Sant anis chaplan heir dotat yt acre gud croft land in cula & tenementis sal be a gud singar of hali lif but odir service & daeli resident to praie for Elen Hay and hir barnis his fyiv dors at gift of Jon Duf and his aris of Madavit and faling yarof at gift of ye balzeis and comunite of Cola per Elena Hay.'

and on two corner stones :
'per Elena Hay, soli Deo honor et Gloria'." (pages 15 and 16)

' Ane letter to Alexander Dyk his airis and assignaris, of the ward of all lands and annualis that pertinet to unquile Andro Duff of Muldavit, and now, be his deceis, being in the kyngis hands be resoun of ward for all the tyme thereof, and the marriage of Johne Duff his sown and are, and failzeand of hym of any other are or airis male or femell,' etc."
