| Edmund Hay of Talla (Tallow) (d before 13.10.1466) | |||||||||||||||
| TSP (Tweeddale) identified Edmund as ancestor of the Hays of Barra, Rannes, Mountblairy, Cocklaw, Faichfield, Ranfield, Linplum, Alderstown, Mordington, etc.. and notes that he was succeeded by his son Sir William Hay of Tallow. BLG1886 (Gordon of Avochie), which follows the lines of Linplum, Rannes (& Ranfield), identifies Edmund as of Linplum and reports that he was father of Dugald of Linplum by Margaret Kerr. There is some doubt as to the generation of Annabella Boyd. If she was the one who (also) married Sir John Gordon of Lochinvar then it is unlikely that Edmund Hay married after her. If not, then it is possible that Margaret Kerr was Edmund's 2nd wife. | |||||||||||||||
