A history of the family of Seton during eight centuries[With plates, including portraits, illustrations, facsimiles, a bibliography and genealogical tables.] . erage lawyer, in 1850, and from which Imake the following extract: George, sixth Lord Seton, had issueby his second and last wife, Dame Mary Peirs, one son and onedaughter:—Robert Seton of Greendikes (of whom almost nothingis known, and who may be held to have no existing descendants),and Mary Seton, one of Queen Marys Marys or maids, of whosemarriage there is no trace yet discovered. Sir Richard Maitlandadds another son, James; but he evidently must have died aninfant, or in pupillarity, from being quite omitted in the familysettlements and transactions. It hence follows that, by the lawof Scotland, the direct lineal descendant and heir-at-law of Robertand Mary, through John Seton of Cariston, their immediateelder brother, must be both their heir of conquest and heritage,in exclusion of George, the eldest brother, however different itmight be according to English law. It would therefore appearthat the author of this work is the living representative of QueenMarys faithful AT DRUM NEAR EDINBURGH. 152 GEORGE, SEVENTH LORD SETON
