Notes for James Rutherford

---

Sir Alexander Home married Marion Lauder daughter of John Lauder, granddaughter of Sir Robert de Lauder. Along with her sisters; Mariota, Beatrice and Christian each of the 4 [and their husbands] received 1/4th of the Crailing, Hownam and Swinside estates. On December 11, 1436 Lord James Rutherford and Lord Alexander Home held sasine at Linlinthgow. Swinside remained a Rutherford holding because Lord James Rutherford married one of the other Lauder sisters; Christian.
