, 'History of the County of Ayr' (James Paterson, vol 2, 1852, p436+ starts with Adam de Dalrympil of Dalrymple father of Gilbert father of Malcolm (a 1371) father of the following William. TSP mentions Malcolm (a 1371) son of Gilchrist son of Adam de Dalrimpill but does not connect them to ...
William de Dalrymple (a 1429, 1450)
m. Agnes Kennedy (heiress of Stair-Montgomery)
1. William Dalrymple of Stair
  m. Marion Chalmers (dau of Sir John Chalmers of Gadgirth)
There must be some uncertainty on the following generations since BP1934 omits details of them whilst giving contradictory information, viz: that the great-grandson of William and Marion Chalmers was John Dalrymple of Stair who married Isabel Crawford (dau of George Crawford of Lochnorris) and had a son James (of Stair) whose great-grandson was the 1st Viscount. That report seems to have too many generations. Paterson shows William & Marion as father of William (dvp) father of William (a 1531) father by Margaret (dau of Wallace of Cairnhill) of the following John (a 1535, m. Isabel, dau of George Craufurd of Lochnorris) father of James (d 1586, m. Isabel Kennedy). Because of these and other discrepancies, we stopped reviewing the page (on 13.06.20) and kept with what we had which follows TSP.
