| Sir Robert Dalzell, 1st Earl of Carnwath (d 1639) | |||||||||||||||
| Surprisingly, there is disagreement between our main sources as to whether or not it was this Robert who was created an Earl or his son. TSP (along with various web sites) identifies him as the first Earl but BP1934 (Carnwath), supported by TCP (Carnwath), shows his son as the 1st Earl. The creation was in 1639, just before this Robert died. We follow the majority but note that there must have been a question on this for BP & TCP to differ from the others. Some sources may therefore differ with the numbering used here for the Earls. | |||||||||||||||
