HAY, Alicia 1 2
User ID: C672. Alicia married Sir William HAY of Locherworth and Yester, Sheriff of Peebles, son of Sir Thomas DE LA HAY of Locherworth, Sheriff of Peebles and Joanna GIFFORD co-heiress of Yester.1 (Sir William HAY of Locherworth and Yester, Sheriff of Peebles was born about 1350 and died before August 1421 1.) Marriage Notes: "Douglas says that he married, first, Johanna Gifford, the heiress of Yester, by whom he had three sons and three daughters, and secondly, Alicia, daughter of Sir Thomas Hay of Erroll, by whom he had another son and daughter. Joanna Gifford, as already stated, was in reality his mother, and in lieu of any evidence to the contrary it may reasonably be assumed that Alicia Hay was his only wife and the mother of all his children, as she most certainly was of the two sons David and Edmund. This Alicia Hay survived him about thirty years, and considerably augmented the revenues of the collegiate church of Yester. By a charter dated at Yester 23 February 1447-48 she settled on the church the lands of Blanes within the constabulary of Haddington, together with various rents from tenements in the town of Haddington, amounting to £4, 2s. 6d. for the support of a chaplain, also sundry lands with the houses and buildings erected thereon, which the Lord David de Hay, of Yester, Knight, son and heir of the said Alicia, had conceded to her for a residence for the chaplain and his successors. Among the witnesses to this charter, which was confirmed by the King 23 February 1449-50, are Edmund de Haya of Linplum, son of the said Alicia, Thomas de Haya, and Archibald de Haya. They had issue" |
