Note:

The links between the cadet Maitland line that reached Elizabeth and Janet Maitland, heiresses of Sir Patrick Maitland of Gight and Schivas, and the male line that led later to Sir Richard Maitland 2nd Baronet is hazy. Necessary information based on solid sources is not available. The scenario presented here therefore, continuing form William Maitland of Orbiston should be treated with caution, although it is based on information from secondary sources which offer some primary source material. ¹
