Research Notes:
The name William is used for the eldest son in successive generations of the
family during this period and there has always been difficulty in
distinguishing a specific William from his father or son. The SP account at II
95-96 is very confused. [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87(24)]
The accounts of the first 4 Lords are very obscure, and that given in Scots
Peerage points to there not being very much advance in precision possible
over the one appearing in the 1st edition of CP. It is conceivable that the
first 2 Lords in the text may be in fact the same man, but in that case this
man must have lived to a great age. [Ref: CP II p221(d)]
sons George and John, both clerks, were acknowledged as 'kinsman of Robert,
duke of Albany and governor of Scotland' This connection may have been
through the marriage of Sir William [Ref: John Ravilious SGM
12/3/2005-111110]
1368: styled "filius et heres quondam thome de borthwic" and under age when
impleaded by Thomas de Haye regarding the lands of Middleton which he claimed
as his heritage [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87]
between 1379 and 1384: knighted [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87]
1405: hostage for the Earl of Douglas [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87]
4 Jun 1410: obtained a charter of the lands of Borthwic and Thoftcotys [Ref:
Thompson CharlesII v12-87]
1 May 1411: a dispensation was issued for the marriage of William
Borthwick and Beatrice Sinclair, but there is no clue as to which William
Borthwick is meant [Ref: SP II p95 (with corr in IX p39)]
styled variously of Catcune, Ligertwood, and Borthwick [Ref: Thompson
CharlesII v12-87]
through his service to Archibald, fourth Earl of Douglas, brought the
family into contact with the royal court [Ref: ODNB 54135 Borthwick]
purchased most of Locherworth (renamed Borthwick) from Sir William Hay (see
SP VIII:424) [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87]
1414: named, with his son William [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87]
1425: sat on the jury which condemned Murdoch, Duke of Albany [Ref: Thompson
CharlesII v12-87]
1425: a hostage for James I [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87]
the name William is used for the eldest son in successive generations of
the family during this period and there has always been difficulty in
distinguishing a specific William from his father or son. The SP account
at II p95-6 is very confused [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87(24)]
Janet, named as daughter of Sir William Borthwick in the Papal dispensation of
1411 would be daughter of this Sir William and sister of the Sir William
Borthwick listed at SP II:95-96 [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87(24)]
married probably a Sinclair of Herdmanston [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-87]
