Research Notes:
Heard on the web: (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Houston-4594) Although Scots Peerage opines that Margaret Sempill had married John, it seems clear from the Records of the Parliaments[6] that it was John's brother Patrick whom she married. Citation to Records of the Parliaments of Scotland: 1483/3/16 (URL given is https://www.rps.ac.uk/trans/1483/3/16) In the action and cause pursued by Elizabeth Sinclair, the spouse of the late Sir John of Houston of that Ilk, on the one part, against Margaret Semple, the spouse of Patrick of Houston, for the wrongful collection and retention of the mails from the third part of the lands of Houston, Cowale, Cairns, Auldanstoun and the otherside of the Lany, pertaining to the said Elizabeth through terce, as is alleged [...]
themselves and their procurators and there[...] the lords auditors decree and deliver that[...] regress to the terces of the said lands because[...] of the Netherside of Lany appointed immediately to the said Elizabeth for her said terce have fallen in ward to our sovereign lord the king, for which the said Elizabeth may not use them due to the said ward, and ordain that letters be written to the sheriffs where the said lands lie to make her be obeyed according to the form of the laws of the realm.
