Notes - Various web sites show David as a younger son of James, 2nd Lord of Dalkeith, by Elizabeth Gifford, but no evidence for this claim has yet been seen. TSP (Douglas of Morton) specifically considers and discounts a report ("in a recent publication, The Book of the Irvings, 1907, by Col. J.B. Irving of Bonshaw") that the founder of the family of Douglas of Tillyquilly (about 1450) was a son of James, 2nd Lord of Dalkeith, called John ("there is no evidence on record of this John") and goes on to report that James (2nd Lord of Dalkeith) "had issue, so far as is known, one son", his successor James who became the 1st Earl of Morton. TSP, in the 1914 edition edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, reports that Sir Robert Douglas, in his (the original) editions of that great work, inserted an Archibald as son of James, 1st Lord of Dalkeith, who "is said to be the ancestor of the Netherdale, Tilliquhilly and Inchmarlo families, but no evidence of this Archibald has been found on recor d." The connection we make is as suggested by BP1934 (Morton) inasmuch as that shows David "living 1494, said to have been ancestor of Douglas, of Tillquhillie" whom we presume to be the above David although it might have been his father. TSP shows a "Mr. David" of that generation but does not say anything about him other than that he witnessed a charter in 1494. Various web sites show him (or his son) as having died in 1526, having married Janet Ogston (d 1529)
We show David as a grandson.
