Research Notes:
2nd Lord Borthwick, of Barony cr 1452 [Ref: CP II p221]

The name William is used for the eldest son in successive generations of the family during this period and there has always been difficulty in distinguishing a specific William from his father or son. The SP account at II 95-96 is very confused. [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87(24)]

The accounts of the first 4 Lords are very obscure, and that given in Scots Peerage points to there not being very much advance in precision possible overthe one appearing in the 1st edition of CP. It is conceivable that the first 2 Lords in the text may be in fact the same man, but in that case this man must have lived to a great age. [Ref: CP II p221(d)]

may have married twice, but no spouse's name is known [Ref: ODNB 54135 Borthwick]

the peerage petition of 1984-6 was inaccurate in stating that his second wife was Marion Hoppringle [Ref: ODNB 54135 Borthwick]
