Extract from The House of Cockburn of that Ilk, and their cadets. by Thomas H. Cockburn-Hood (Edinburgh 1888) pages 119 (http://archive.org/details/houseofcockburno00cock)

Alexander Cockburn of Ormiston, the second son, succeeded his father about 1470. He was alive in 1503, when his son John, styled "apparent of Ormiston," witnessed the retour of Helen Ruthirfurd, "Ladye of that Ilk," to her brother Richard, as heiress of the lands of Edeerston. This deed is in the Edgerston charter chest.
