Death of Father
The Exchequer Rolls record that this Robert Lawder was granted Sasine of Stenton, Garvald, and The Bass in 1495. Sasine was also granted in 1495 to this Robert Lauder of the lands of Symprin and Ladypart, near Lauder in Berwickshire. This would normally occur upon the death of the head of the family.
A charter registered (but almost certainly signed much earlier) on 1 February 1497 records "Robert Lauder of Bass and Lord of Auldkathi to Robert Lauder his eldest son and Ysobella Hay his spouse, and their survivor of them, and their heirs male to be procreated of their bodies, of the lands of Auldkathi lying in the barony of Kynnele (Kinnoull) and sheriffdom of (Lin)Lithgow. Witnesses were William Hay of Menzen, William Hay of Tallo, Hugh of Dunbar, Gavin Lumsden, Thomas and Peter Wood and James Sinclair." The footnote states that the granter's seal is in fair condition.
