| i. | Sir Alexander Seton, 4th of Parbroath (d 1512) | ||||||||||||||
| 'Fife P&H' reported that Alexander married Katherine Crichton in 1472 and had one son, Kentigern (dvp c1498) who left a son John, father of Andrew (a 1528), succeeded by his son Gilbert in 1550 who was succeeded by David whose estate was forfeited in 1571, the forfeiture being reversed in 1592 in favour of David's son, another David who married Mary Grey. The setonfamily site shows the descent as follows. | |||||||||||||||
| m. Helen Murray (dau of Sir William Murray of Tullibardine) | |||||||||||||||
| a. | Alexander Seton, younger of Parbroath (dvp 1512) | ||||||||||||||

| (i) | David Seton, 7th of Parbroath (d 24.11.1601) | ||||||||||||||
| The setonfamily site suggests that David's wife was Mary, dau of 6th Lord of Broxmouth by Mary, dau of Robert Stewart, Earl of Orkney, but the Gray records suggest that she was 2 generations earlier. | |||||||||||||||
| m. Mary Gray (dau of Patrick Gray, 4th Lord) | |||||||||||||||
| (a) | George Seton, last of Parbroath | ||||||||||||||
| The setonfamily site suggests that David's 1st wife was Jean Sinclair, dau of Henry, 3rd Lord, but that Jean is not reported elsewhere as having married again after the death of her (1st) husband. Furthermore, TSP (Melville) reports a Jean Sinclair, widow of George Seton of Parbroath, as married to James Melville (mcrt 1618) which throws doubts on the order of David's marriages. | |||||||||||||||
