  Family	Sir William Hay, of Locherworth and Yester,   d. Bef 12 Apr 1421
  Married	Douglas says that he married, first, Johanna Gifford, the heiress of Yester, by whom he had three sons and three daughters, and secondly, Alicia, daughter of Sir Thomas Hay of Erroll, by whom he had another son and daughter. Joanna Gifford, as already stated, was in reality his mother, and in lieu of any evidence to the contrary it may reasonably be assumed that Alicia Hay was his only wife and the mother of all his children, as she most certainly was of the two sons David and Edmund. The Scots Peerage, Volume VIII – 1911 The Scots Peerage contradicts itself on this point.  In Volume IV page 445 under "Home, Earl of Home" it says:  "Sir Alexander married Jean or Janet Hay, daughter of Sir William Hay of Lochorwarth, by Joanna, daughter and heiress of Hugh Gifford of Yester." [5, 6]

• Notes

  (Research):"It is doubtful whether this lady was a Hay at all.  Her seal appended to her charter of mortification 23 February 1447-8 to the altar of the B.V.M. in the kirk of Bothans bears the arms of Hay of Yester impaling three stars or cinquefoils." [8]
