William de Bosville of Oxmuir

His son, Richard Bosville of Oxmuir, besides his estate in Berwickshire, was proprietor of other lands near Ardrossan in Ayrshire, as appears by a charter under the great seal from King Robert the Bruce, about 1320. He left two sons, William and Roger.

William, the eldest, the last of the Boswells of Oxmuir, is mentioned as a. witness in charters of donation to the monastery of Kelso in 1330, and again in 1345. in a donation to the monastery of Dryburgh, William de Bosville, designed ‘aldermanus de Roxburgh,’ is a witness, in 1338.
