Marriage Notes:
"Edward Livingston was infeft in lands in Dumfriesshire in 1456, and in half of the lordship of Kilsyth on the west side of the bank of the Garvald, 20 April 1460, as son and heir of the deceased William Livingston of Balcastell. In the same year he had sasine of the lands of Glassinwell. In a number of contemporary deeds Edward appears as 'of Balcastel' as well as 'of Kilsith.' In an agreement for the marriage of his son and heirapparent, 19 December 1480, he is designed 'of Balcastell,' the last word being written over 'Kilsithe' deleted. He died between 6 April 1482, when his name appears as a witness, and 1 October of the same year, when he is mentioned as the deceased Edward Livingston of Balcastell.
According to a manuscript pedigree of the Viscount Teviot, a cadet of Kilsyth, in the Lyon Office, Edinburgh, this Edward Livingston married a daughter of Thomas, Lord Erskine, but proof is wanting, and as his eldest son married a daughter of Lord Erskine's sister, there may be some confusion between them. He is said to have had three sons: -
1. William, who succeeded.
2. Alexander of Inchmawchane.
3. Patrick.
4. Robert."
