• Notes

  From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Livingston-187 It seems that in his youth Mr. Henry Livingston [son of Henry Livingston and Margaret Forrester] was placed with his elder half-brother Mr. Alexander Colville. As an apprentice in Mr. Alexander's household, Henry would have learned reading, writing and social protocol. And apparently Henry helped his half-brother with family business.... And finally, on 26 July 1586, at Edinburgh, 'Mr. Henry Lewingston, brother of the Iconimus [emphasis added], witnessed a charter to John Kennedy of Pennyglen. The fact that Mr. Henry Livingston is described as the brother of Mr. Alexander Colville, Iconomus of Melrose, can only mean they were uterine brothers, i.e., their mother was Margaret Forrester, widow of Sir James Colville of East Wemyss. Robert Milne the younger's manuscript pedigree is thus proved correct: Sir James Colville's widow married Henry Livingston of Falkirk and was the mother of Mr. Henry Livingston, Minister of St. Ninian's.
