  General Notes:

"David Lindsay began his political career on 31 August 1380, in his father's castle of Finavon, where he witnessed a grant his father had made to Alexander Strachan of Carmyllie, and his wife, Christiana daughter of David 'de Anandia', of lands in Alexander's barony of 'Onele', probably Kincardine O'Neill, in Aberdeenshire. [....] Concurrent with this charter, Donald Strachan died, and John Lindsay, either Alexander's illegitimate son or brother, received the ward of Donald's daughter and heiress.[8 The Exchequer Rolls of Scotland, eds. J. Stuart and others (Edinburgh, 1878-1908)]"

"The grant's other witnesses were David Lindsay himself and John Lindsay, Alexander's brother and possible recipient of the ward of the late Donald Strachan's daughter; David had probably come of age recently, and joined his father's council for this grant.[14 Aberdeen-Banff Illustrations, ii, 43-4; Fraser, Southesk, ii, 492-3]"
