  III. Sir WILLIAM de MORAVIA, the undoubted progenitor of the Morays of Both∣well, &c.* who, in a charter of king Willi∣am, is designed Willielmus de Moravia, fili∣us Willielmi, filii Friskini, &c. The char∣ter has no date, but, as Bricius bishop of Murray was witness to it, it must have been betwixt 1202, in which year the bishop was consecrated, and 1214, in which year king William died.
  
  There is a donation sanctae trinitati de Spy∣nie, made by Willielmus de Moravia, filius Willielmi, filii Friskini, &c. to which Hugh his brother, and Archibald de Douglas, are witnesses;* and Andrew bishop of Murray confirms donationem illam quam Willielmus, filius Willielmi, filii Friskini, fecit, ecclesiae de Spynie, &c. about the year 1224.
  
  This William was highly esteemed by king Alexander II. who conferred the honour of knighthood upon him; and we find him of∣ten designed miles, &c.
  
  He married the daughter of sir David Oli∣fard,* son of Walterus de Olifard, justiciarius Loudoniae, and proprietor of the lands of Both∣well, &c.
  
  With her he got the whole lordship of Both∣well,* (whereof the lands of Drumsargart were a part) which afterwards became the chief seat and title of the family.
  
  He got with her also the lands of Small∣ham in the shire of Berwick,*&c. and by her he had a son, Sir Walter, his heir.
  
  'Tis said he had several other sons, of whom some considerable families of the name of Murray are descended; but we cannot pretend to ascertain or connect them.
  
  He died anno 1225, and was succeeded by his son,
  
  IV. Sir WALTER MORAY, who, succeed∣ing also to the estate and lordship of Bothwell, Page 81 in right of his mother; was the first of the name of Moray that was designed by that title.
  
  In a composition betwixt Andrew, bishop of Murray,*& Gilbertum hostiarium, Walte∣rus de Moravia, filius quondam Willielmi de Moravia, &c. is a witness, anno 1226.
