Patrick Douglas
Baillie of Morton
Probably a natural son (Letters of Legitimation 16 Aug 1546, and his family heirs of
entail to Barony of Drumlanrig 11 March, 1574) of
Sir
James Douglas, Laird of Drumlanrig. He is also shown as the son of Sir
James and his first wife Margaret.
Other natural sons of Sir James, Robert, John and Adam, were legitimised on
16 August 1546.
From him are descended the Douglases of Morton, in Dumfriesshire, the
Douglases of Fingland, Kirkcudbright, of
Salwarpe, Worcestershire and others.
It should be noted that he was Baillie of Morton, Dalkeith, not of Morton
Castle, which is near Drumlanrig, but where he did make his home at some point.
In 1555, Patrick the escheat goods of Robert Menzies, a cooper, the
natural son of Edward Douglas of Muirhill, who may be the Edward Menzies
of Castlehill, who was Patrick's first father-in-law (He married three
times).
Details of his family can be found in the
genealogy
database.
