• Notes

  Married: Elizabeth was married three times ,her third and last husband being Samuel Kirkpatrick of Hoddam Castle. The Herries family had owned Hoddom Castle, where they are said to have imprisoned kidnapped Englishmen in the 15th century, but in 1607 it belonged to Samuel Kirkpatrick, who married Elizabeth Stewart ,widow of Johnstone of Newbie in that year(her third marriage). It was purchased in around 1630 by the Sharpe family. Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe, the celebrated antiquarian, whom Sir Walter Scott called the Scottish Horace Walpole, and the author of several poems in the Border Minstrelsy, was born there in 1781, and died in Edinburgh in 1851.
