Note:

It's assumed on this website that this given name is an error, though it is is not corrected in the volume of
corrigenda of Fasti Ecclesiae. The given name 'Andrew' appears to be a later name used in this family, eg Sir Andrew Leith-Hay, which may account for the error. The chronology and designation 'of Licklyhead' suggest Margaret Leith was possibly Patrick Leith's daughter. 1
