   User ID: E135.

Robert married Janet GRAHAM of Erth, Lady of Waughton, daughter of Sir Thomas GRAHAM of Erth, Lord of Waughton and Unknown.¹ (Janet GRAHAM of Erth, Lady of Waughton was born about 1310.)

  Marriage Notes:

"It is recorded in the Great Seal Register of Scotland that Sir William Lindsay had purchased the lands of Drem from William de Gourlay who had resigned them into the hands of his mother, Janet of Erth, lady of Waulchton; and it was known that Sir Patrick Hepburn inherited Waulchton from his mother Dame Christian, whose charter, from her father William [de Gourlay] son of Robert, of the lands of Waulchton, was confirmed by Robert Duke of Albany in 1407. Further search in the 'Registrum Honoris de Morton' supplied the proof that Janet Gourlay, the mother of William de Gourlay, was the same person as Janet Graham of Erth, lady of Waulchton, and also that she was the daughter of Sir Thomas of Erth, lord of Waulchton, and owned Newton and Dodyngstone in the barony of Abercom."
