Sir William Seton of Seton

William de Setoun, son and heir of John de Setoun, lord of that Ilk, was witness to a charter granted 2 December 1423 by Archibald, Earl of Wigtoun, which was confirmed by King James I. 8 January 1424-25. He seems to have been knighted. He is described as of lofty stature and powerful build, as were also his father and grandfather. He was killed vita patris at the battle of Verneuil, fighting on the side of the French against the English, 17 August 1424. He married a lady whose Christian name was Janet. It seems possible that she may have been a daughter of George, tenth Earl of Dunbar, and third (or fifth) Earl of March. She seems to have been married, secondly, after 1433, to Adam Johnston of that Ilk.
By her Sir William had issue :
1.George.
He is said to have had also two daughters:
2. Catherine, married, first, about the year 1429, to Sir Alan Stewart of Darnley, whom she survived. She was married, secondly, to Herbert, first Lord Maxwell of Caerlaverock, whom also she survived. She was alive 19 July 1468, and died before 7 February 1477-78.
3. Janet, married, first, to John, first Lord Halyburton; secondly, to Edward Congaltoun, second son of John Congaltoun of that Ilk. She was alive in 1492-93.
