[Burke's Peerage] 1597 Aleson Ker ~1504 - <1544 Janet Ker 40 40 Widow of George Turnbull of Bedrule ~1569 - 1611 Walter Scott 42 42 Sir Walter Scott, 1st Lord Scott of Buccleuch, so created 18 March 1606, Privy Council 1611; b. 1565; knighted 1590, Warden West March 1590; after carrying out many raids into England was delivered up as a hostage during an outbreak of peace 1579; helped quell Borders turbulence following James I of England's accession; served in Low Countries against Spain; m. (contract 1 Oct 1586) Mary, sister of 1st Earl of Roxburghe, and d. 15 Dec 1611.  [Burke's Peerage]

Note: Based on the parent's marriage date, estimating his birth date to be later. ~1465 - <1500 Robert Ker 35 35 Robert (Sir), Younger, of Cessford; Master of King's Artillery; married (contract 12 Feb 1484) Christian, daughter of James Rutherford of that Ilk, and dvp by 6 Nov 1500.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1448 - <1487 Isabel Hay 39 39 Burke's Peerage states that Walter Ker's wife was "allegedly Isabel, daughter of 1st Lord Hay of Yester"--does not state which wife, but undoubtedly the first.  It did happen that children, especially girls, were born before wedlock, but 12 years is pretty extreme.  Isabel might have been a sister of John Hay, she might have been born much later (which causes all kinds of troubles with subsequent birth/marriage dates, some of which are sourced), or she was born well before her parent's marriage date.

Note that Burke's has an Isobel, daughter of 2nd marriage to Elizabeth Cunningham, marrying a Robert Lauder of The Bass by 1496.  This is surely not the same Isobel. ~1435 Agnes Crichton Widow of 2nd Lord Glamis ~1478 - 1548 Elizabeth Ker 70 70 Widow of Philip Rutherford ~1549 - 1574 Walter Scott 25 25 1566-69 Captain of Newark Castle ~1554 - 1640 Margaret Douglas 86 86 ~1524 - 1552 William Scott 28 28 Sir William Scott, of Kirkurd, Younger of Buccleuch; fought Battle of Pinkie 10 Sept 1547; married his step-mother's sister Grisel (married second Sir Andrew Murray of Balckbarony), 2nd daughter of John Betoun of Creich and dvp by 19 May 1552.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1525 Grisel Bethune ~1495 - 1552 Walter Scott 57 57 Warden of Middle March, knighted at Flodden 9 Sept 1513; tried to free the young James V but defeated at Darnick near Melrose by Earl of Angus 25 July 1526; fought Battle of Pinkie 10 Sept 1547.    [Burke's Peerage] ~1500 - <1530 Elizabeth Carmichael 30 30 ~1475 - <1504 Walter Scott 29 29 ~1550 Thomas Ker ~1552 Janet Scott ~1575 Thomas Ker Generated by GenoPro®.
