| David Ainslie of Falla & Jedburgh | |||||||||||||||
| Betham identifies David's wife as simply Mary Rutherford. The family site identifies her as Mary, dau of Sir Nicholas Rutherford of Hundalee (who d 1572/3) by Margaret, dau of Andrew Rutherford. The Rtuherford records appear to suggest that she was .... | |||||||||||||||
| m. Mary Rutherford (dau of John Rutherford of Hunthill) | |||||||||||||||
| Betham shows David & Mary as parents of James of Edinburgh (a 1625), George of Newbottle & John of Jedburgh and, other than James who dsp, follows their descendants. The family site shows them as parents of William of Falla & Templelands (d 1587) & David of Birkenside and follows William's descendants. This raises the concern that the two sources are being inconsistent with each other as to which David married (which) Mary Rutherford. Provisionally we speculate that David & Mary were parents of all 5 sons and combine the information provided by the sources. This will be reviewed in due course. | |||||||||||||||
