COLVILLE, Robert of Hilton, then of Ochiltree, Mr 1
User ID: A545. General Notes: "Robert or Mr. Robert Colville of Hiltoun, who was appointed Director of Chancery on 17 June 1488, an office he no doubt owed to his father's influence. He held a number of lands from the Crown in tenancy, as may be seen from the rentals, which lands were afterwards contained in his barony of Tilliecultrie. On 13 March 1503-4 he had a charter to himself and his wife of tlie lands of Hiltoun in Clackmannan, which had belonged to his father, and on which both had bestowed much expense, and on 14 February 1504-5 he received the lands of Cleish in Fife. In 1509 (10 and 30 April) he received from Elizabeth Colville of Ochiltree and her husband, her half of Ochiltree and Oxnam, but no relationship between the parties is stated in the charters, and he probably purchased the lands. He sold Oxnam on 5 May to Andrew Ker of Fernyhirst, and is afterwards designed of Ochiltree. In 1511 he had a grant of the barony of Tillicultrie. He was killed at Flodden 9 September 1513." Robert married Elizabeth ARNOT.1 (Elizabeth ARNOT was born about 1465 and died before 31 January 1527(1528) 1.) Marriage Notes: "He (Robert Colville) married Elizabeth Arnot, said to be daughter of Walter Arnot of Balbarton. She died before 31 January 1527-28. Robert Colville had by his wife, so far as re- corded, only one son : 1. James, who succeeded. But he had three natural sons and a daughter" Robert next married. |
