Isabel married Patrick WAUCHOPE 2nd of Niddrie, son of Gilbert WAUCHOPE 1st of Niddrie and Unknown.¹ (Patrick WAUCHOPE 2nd of Niddrie was born about 1410.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Patric de Wachope and Isabel his spouse are mentioned in the Acts of the Lords Auditors, 6th Nov. 1470, as pursuing George Lord Setoun 'for the spolicioun and takin of twa oxin of the lands of Grenediks perteining to the said Isabell, be resoun of terce and thrid, and takin be the said lord for the rnalis of the said lands, be resoun of gift made to him of the warde of the said lands,' &c The Lords Auditors found that Lord Setoun had done wrong, and ordained him to return the oxen.

Though not designed by the property, there is every probability that they were of Niddrie-Merschell. They could not be of Wauchope in Dumfriesshire, for that belonged to the Lindsays, nor of Wauchope in Roxburghshire, for that property had passed to the Glendonwins. The lands of Greenside, which may be the modern variation of Greendiks, are in the vicinity of Niddrie-Edge, and the inheritance of the Setons lay chiefly in Edinburghshire, and not far distant. The lands of Greendiks belonged to Isabel in life-rent, and Lord Seton was her ward, or guardian."
