  !Scott's Peerage Hay, Marquess of Tweeddale, pg 416-29; Sir William Haya of Locherworth, succeeded his father between 1392 and 1399. He first occurs in 1387, as `William de Hay, Sheriff of Peebles,' he gives up his accounts by Deputy, and was knighted between that dated and 14 Mar 1406- 07, whenhe had two safe-conducts as a friend of and a hostage for the Earl of Douglas. On 27 Apr 1409 a safe-conduct was granted to `Willielmus de Hay de Lochawart, Viscomes de Peebles, miles,' one of the Commissioners appointed to treat with the English, and he had an allowance for his expenses May. He is also mentioned as having an annuity of L7, 8s. 4d. from the customs of Hadd- ington. He was one of the Scottish Commissioners for the same purpose 21 Apr 1410, who arranged a truce with England at Hawdenstank 21 Apr 1411, and app- ears as a witness to a charter of the Regent Albany, to his cousin Dugal Mac- Dowal of a fourth part of the lands of Yester, Duncanlaw, and Morham, dated at Edinburgh 11 Mar 1409-10, and to two others of Archibald, Earl of Douglas, dated there 29 Feb 1413 (sic) and 27 Feb 1416-17. It was this Sir William who founded, in 1420, the collegiate church at Yester called Bothans, for one Provost, six prebendaries and two singing boys, and he endowed it with sundry lands and rents. He changed his residence from Locheworth to Yester, and sold the greater part of his ancient patrimony, with the manor, retaining only Little Locherworth and its pertinents. He died before Aug 1421.

  === Sir William Hay of Locherworth, son and ===
  Sir William Hay of Locherworth, son and heir of the last, succeede his father between 1392 and 1399. He first occurs in 1387, when as 'William de Hay, Sheriff of Peebles,' he gives up his accounts by Deputy, and was knighted between that date and 14 March 1406-7, when he had two safe-conducts as a friend of and a hostage for the Earl of Douglas. On 27 April 1409 a safe-conduct was granted to 'Willielmus de Hay de Lochawart, Vicecomes de Peebles, miles,' one of the Commissioners appointed to treat with the English, and he had an allowance for his expenses May. He is also mentioned as having an annuity of £7, 8s 4d from the customs of Haddington. He was one of the Scottish Commissioners for the same purpose 21 April 1410, who arranged a truce with England at Hawdenstank 21 April 1411, and appears as a witness to a charter of the Regent Albany, to his cousin Dugal MacDowal of a fourth part of the lands of Yester, Duncanlaw, and Morham, dated at Edinburgh 11 March 1409-10, and to two others of Archibald, Earl of Douglas, dated there 29 February 1413 and 27 February 1416-17. It was this Sir William who founded, in 1420, the collegiate church at Yester called Bothans, for one Provost, six prebendaries and two singing boys, and he endowed it with sundry lands and rents. According to Chalmers he changed his residence from Locherworth to Yester, and sold the greater part of his ancient patrimony, with the manor, to Sir William de Borthwick, retaining only Little Locherworth and its pertinents. This statement is confirmed by a letter under the Great Seal 2 June 1430, which grants Sir William Borthwick licence to erect a castle at the Mote of Locherworth. He died in 1421, before August. Douglas says he married, first, Johanna Gifford, the heiress of Yester, by whom he had three sons and three daughter, 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. This Alicia Hay survived him about thirty years, and considerably augmented the revenues of the collegiate church of Yester. By a charter dated at Yeaster 23 February 1447-48 she settled on the churhc the land of Blanes within the constabulary of Haddington, together with various rents from tenements in the town of Haddington, amounting to £4, 2s 6d for the support of a chaplain, also sundry lands with the houses and buildings erected thereon, which the Lord David de Hay, of Yester, Knight, son and heir of the siad Alicia, had conceded to her for a residence for the chaplain and his successors. Among the witness to this charter, which was confirmed by the King 23 February 1449-50, are Edmund de Haya of Linplum, son of the said Alicia, Thomas de Haya, and Archibald de Haya.
