Emma married John DE CHISHOLME. (John DE CHISHOLME was born about 1210 and died after 1254.)

  Marriage Notes:

"John de Chisholme married Emma de Vetereponte or Vipont, daughter of William de Vetereponte, Lord of Bolton, who grants him as a marriage portion a charter of the lands of Paxtoun, with the fishing of Brade-la-Tweed, in the county of Berwick, along with the pendicles in the village of Paxtoun and the fishings and pertinents thereunto belonging. In this charter the parties are described as John de Cheseholme and Emma de Vetereponte, his spouse. The Viponts or Vetrepontes are now quite unknown even in the traditions of Tweedside, although, like the Vesis, the Moreviles, the Normanviles, and several other prominent families of that age, their forefathers ruled there as Princes. By his wife, Emma de Vetereponte, John had issue: Richard de Chesholme."
