Burke's Peerage(one of the older editions) seems to have part of this
lineage wrong when it stipulates that Sir David Hamilton, 2d Lord of
Cadzow,(d. 1374)married Margaret, dau. of Wm, 7th Earl of Ross.
However, I can find no evidence to confirm this.

Seems that Wm, the 7th Earl, had no daughter named Margaret at all. I
am wondering if the correct connection would be to a Janet or Joanna of
Ross, dau. and heir-portioner(w/ sister Euphemia)to Wm, 5th Earl of
Ross. The Earldom passed to the Leslies c. 1402, if memory serves, and
so I know that the connection has to predate 1402 or so.

Anyone able to confirm my suspicions?

I show Janet Keith, daughter of Sir William Keith of Galston as the wife of
David Hamolton, Lord Cadzow. My source is James Balfour Paul's Scottish
Peerage.

Have a look at http://www.baronage.co.uk/bphtm-03/hamilton.html. This also
gives the same marriage to a Margaret de Ross - unfortunately the site
gives no sources - but plenty of assertions that their research dept. is of
the highest standing (no names!). Can some learned soul please advise on
the merits or otherwise of the Hamilton genealogy by Baronage Press/MFR?

Thanks - Guy Ingram

BxP has William de Ros, 7th Baron, summoned to Parliament from 20 November
1394 as father of Margaret who m. 1st Reginald, Lord Grey de Ruthyn, and
2ndly, to James, Lord Audley.

Always optimistic--Dave

Hi Dick & Larry:

The pedigree of the Hamiltons provided by Sir James Balfour Paul
(Scots Peerage) makes one reference concerning this matter, in
discussing the marital status of David fitz Walter fitz Gilbert (father
of David of Cadzow, Sir John Hamilton of Fingalton and others)

The name of his wife has not been ascertained. He
is said to have married a daughter of an Earl of Ross,
but there is no corroborative evidence. [pp. 342-343]

His footnote refers back to Memoirs of the House of Hamilton, by John
Anderson (1825), indicating that p. 42 of that work is where the alleged
marriage is referred to.

Good luck and good hunting.

John
