  General Notes:

"William (Keith), who in 1517-18 is described as son and heir of Sir William Keith. He also predeceased his father "

from Scots Peerage (vol 6)




"Death
William and his father 6.1 were both alive in 1518 [55]. Since, with the exception of [71], all sources put his daughters Margaret 8.1 & Elizabeth 8.2 as the heirs of their grandfather, Sir William Keith of Inverugie, it is assumed that this William died before his father, and definitely before 1521, when his brother Andrew 7.3 was his father's heir [76].
