Isabel BALFOUR

Born: Abt 1535 Marriage: John SETON

picture Isabel married John SETON, son of George SETON and Elizabeth HAY. (John SETON was born about 1530.)

http://www2.thesetonfamily.com:8080/gallery/Cariston_House.htm Sir John Seton, 2nd son of George 6th Lord Seton, by marriage to Isabel, daughter and heiress of Balfour of Cariston, succeeded to the estate became the 1st Baron of Cariston. During the absence of his brother George 7th Lord Seton, abroad, a report of his lordship's decease having reached Scotland, Sir John Seton was put in possession of his whole estate, as appears by a charter under the Great Seal, dated 1545. He had also assumed the titles of Lord Seton, and sat in parliament as a peer; but, on his brother's return, was justly dispossessed of both estates and honours, and stepped aside honourably and returned to his estate of Cariston, although having to sell his estates and lands in East Lothian as a result.
