| Notes |
- JAMES TWEEDIE married about 1422, by papal dispensation, Katherine of Caverhill, in the parish of Manor, this dispensation being doubtless required owing to the degree of kinship between the two. He was appointed on 27th February, 1436-7, by Sir James Douglas, Lord of Dalkeith, as his bailie for infefting Richard Brown in Hartree. This Richard Brown married Elizabeth of Tweedie, and she is called 'neptem' of Sir James Douglas, which means either niece or grand-daughter. Probably she was James Tweedie's sister, and the presumption is that Walter, their father, had married a sister of Sir James Douglas. On 8th March, 1455-6, James Tweedie received a letter of maintenance from King James IV., who promised to defend him in all his lawful actions as one of his own familiars, and in return Tweedie promised faithful and lifelong service, and to keep his house of Drumelzier always ready at the King's disposal. In 1473 he resigned to the burgh of Peebles his share of the patronage of St. John's altar in the parish church of Peebles. James Tweedie, so far as known, had two sons, Walter, who succeeded, and Patrick, who is referred to as a witness at Hartree in 1466.
