  • Notes 
    • of Drum, only surviving brother and heir male, who as such was probably LORD SOMERVILLE [SCT], but who never used that title, was born about 1573. He was a Page of the Bedchamber to James VI at the age of 15, and obtained from his father, 29 April 1593, the lands of Gilmerton, Drum and Gutters "cum carbonibus," of which he had a charter of confirmation, 3 February 1625/6. He took no part in public life. He married, in August 1594 (contract 22 June), Margaret, 2nd daughter of Gavin HAMILTON of Raploch, by Jean, younger daughter and coheir of Sir Thomas DISHINGTON of Ardross. He died in April 1640 at Drum and was buried at Liberton. His widow died in March 1644
