• Notes

  The name of Henry Livingston's first wife, whom he probably married around 1520, is unknown, but it has been suggested that she was a daughter of Alexander Livingston of Dunipace. Henry's marriage to his second wife Margaret Forrester is estimated as in the neighborhood of 1545.[1] From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Livingston-3192 "The election of Henry of Falkirk as Provost or Mayor of Stirling in 1553 over incumbant John Craigengelt of that Ilk resulted in a feud between the two families and their supporters. Hostilities erupted on 21 August 1555, culminating in Craigengelt's losing his left arm and his son Robert's left arm being cut off by Henry and his sons William and Thomas."[2] "In 1562 Henry and his wife Margaret Forrester received two acres of land in Stirling, and in 1574 and his wife Dame Margaret Forrester borrowed money from the Duncanson sisters' grandfather, John Duncanson, minister of Stirling."[3] Children by first wife: Alexander (c. 1522-1563/4) Mary/Margaret (c. 1524-aft. 1574), m. Mr. David Rollock of Powis. William (c. 1526-aft. 1594) (Sir) John of Abercorn (c. 1528-aft. 1610), m. 1567 Elizabeth Carmichael. Bartholomewa (c. 1530-aft. 1550) Janet (c. 1532-aft. 1578), m. Ninian Aitoun. (Mr.) Thomas (c. 1536-aft. 1599), m. Helen Little, wet nurse to King James VI/I. Children by second wife Margaret Forrester: James (c. 1546-aft. Apr. 1565). David (c. 1548-aft. 1581).
