  Marriage Notes:

"Sir William (Ramsay), Sheriff of Lothian in 1357, when he is styled brother of Patrick (Reg. of Newbattle, 309). He had from David II. a grant of 20 sterling yearly, 9 September 1362 (Reg. Mag. Sig., vol. i. new ed. No. 109), and another to him (as of Dalwolsy) and Agnes his wife of the lands of Nether Liberton on 24 October 1369 (Ibid., No. 334). He is styled thus probably to distinguish him from his contemporary Sir William Ramsay of Culluthy ; he is never styled dominus de Dalhousie. He and his wife sold Nether Liberton to Adam Forrester of Corstorphine, 10 April 1384; he styles himself in the charter 'lord of Inverleith' (notes from Corstorphine Charters by Thomas Thomson, W.S.). On 6 June 1377 he had a safe-conduct from Edward III., being infirm of body and under the care of the prior of Bermondsey (Rot. Scot., i. 982). He was alive in 1388-89 (Exch. Rolls, iii. 188, 693). He had a son David, who had from Robert II. a charter of Inverleith, on his father's resignation, 2 July 1384 (Reg. Mag. Sig., vol. i. new ed. No. 791)."
