General Notes:
"Having purchased these extensive estates, Walter Barclay gave the land thus acquired the name of Newtoun, and we find the tithes of the parish of Gartley leased in 1580 by the Bishop of 'Murray' to Walter Barclay of Newtoun. The above record mentioning the Barony of Barclay, and the fact that his son and grandson, as we shall see, were styled of 'Newtoun and of that Ilk,' indicates that he obtained the erection of his estates into a new Barony of Barclay.
The old Barony of Barclay had been specified as sold to Sir Patrick Gordon of Auchindounin 1582, but that property continued to be known by the old name of the Barony of Gartley."

Walter married Jonet FORBES.1 (Jonet FORBES was born about 1528.)
Marriage Notes:
"Walter Barclay, Lord of the Barony of Barclay, received the 1517-1542, lands and heritage of Gartley by resignation from his grand- hartley father, Patrick, in the year 1517.
He married Margaret Ogilvy, daughter of Alexander of Findlater, and had two sons, George, who succeeded him, and Walter Barclay of Bathnagoak, who married Jonet Forbes." (page 125)
"In 1577, by two charters and with the consent of " Walter Barclay, his eldest son and apparent heir," Sir George Barclay sold very considerable properties in the Sheriffdom of Banff to his brother Walter Barclay of Bathnagoak and Jonet Forbes, his spouse ....This disposal of property seems to have been the cause of trouble between the brothers, for a violent quarrel took place between them within the year. Walter Barclay of Bathnagoak lodged a complaint before the Privy Council against George Barclay of Garntulie and his servant Johnne Murray for trespass on the lands so recently purchased, and assaulting one of his tenants and chasing his oxen, also for coming by night on another occasion and assaulting two other tenants, and transporting them, with a third, to the 'toure and fortal- ice of Gartulie and there detaining them prisoners.' Walter Barclay appeared in person, but 'the saidis George Barclay and Johnne Murray being ofttyme callit and non compearant, the Lords direct letters simpliciter to denounce the saidis personis and to escheat etc.. " (pages 141 and 142)
