A history of the family of Seton during eight centuries[With plates, including portraits, illustrations, facsimiles, a bibliography and genealogical tables.] . anet, daughter of Roger de Quincey, Earl of Winchesterand Constable of Scotland; but seeing that the said Rogerflourished between 1219 and 1264—fully a century too late—thealleged alliance seems to be out of the question. PossiblyDougalls wife may have been the daughter of an ancestor ofRoger. The wives of Philip, Alexander, Bartine, Adam, andChristell are all on the authority of Sir Richard Maitland, butthe name of Sehers wife is nowhere specified. No doubt existsas to the consorts of Sir Christopher, Sir Alexander, the Governorof Berwick, and William, first Lord Seton ; and the wife of theGovernors son is supplied in a ms. account of the Seton family,in the Advocates Library, by Alexander Nisbet, the well-knownwriter on Heraldry (whose father was local agent of the Earls ofWinton), from which extracts are given by Mr. Sharpe. Thefollowing additional alliances are furnished by Nisbet, andpossibly they may have been either second wives, or the wives ofthe interpolated generations:. 1. Maude, daughter of Ingraham Percie, Lord Joplef. 2. Isobel, sister of Duncan, Earl of Fife. 3. Jean, daughter of Sir Thomas Halyburton of Dirleton. 64 THE LAIRDS OR KNIGHTS A tabular statement in the Appendix of Miscellanies willshow the different pedigrees of the family as given by SirRichard Maitland, and in the two editions of Douglass Peerageof Scotland. The History of the main line of the family may be con-veniently treated under the three following heads : I. The Ten Lairds or Knights, c. iioo—c. 1360. II. The Seven Barons, c. 1361—1584. III. The Five Earls, 1585—1749.
