Marriage Notes:
"George (Seton), third Lord Seton married before December 1506 Jane or Johanna, otherwise Jonet or Janet Hepburne, elder daughter of the first marriage of Patrick, first Earl of Bothwell with Jane (or Joanna) Douglas, daughter of James, first Earl of Morton. She survived her husband nearly forty-five years. Maitland records that she managed her son's property until he came of age, after which she took up residence at the convent of St. Catherine of Siena, near Edinburgh, which had been founded before 29 January 1517-18, partly at her instance, and was built principally at her expense. She was a liberal benefactress of the Collegiate Church of Seton, to which she added in 1541, and she founded two chaplainries for the increase of divine service in the same, endowing them with lands purchased during her widowliood; her foundation was confirmed by John, Archbishop of St. Andrews, on 20 July 1556. She purchased the lands of Foulstruther, and bestowed them upon her grandson John Seton of Cariston, and she was most generous to her descendants, and charitable to the poor."
