Notes for Hugh Gifford
He had four daughters and co-heirs:
Joan, m. Sir Thomas de Hay of Locherworth, ancestor of the Hays of Errol
Alice, m. Thos Boyd of Kilmarnock
Euphemia, m. a McDowell of Mackerston
Mary, m. a Maxwell and whose son was Eustace maxwell.

This split up the Yester holding into four but eventually, around 1515, the Hay family reunited it all.

The elucidation of Hugh’s ancestors is entirely due to the excellent work of Bruce Morrison in his sites of (in 2006):

Remarkably for an internet site, this work is done almost solely from primary documents, principally the surviving cartularly of Yester.
