About Sir Thomas Hay of Locherworth

SIR THOMAS was one of the hostages for King David’s liberation, 3rd October, 1357, and seems to have been detained a good many years in England. In 1385 he received four hundred of the forty thousand francs which were sent by the French king with John de Vienne, to be distributed among the most influential Scottish barons.

Married Janet Jean Gifford - coheir of Hugh Gifford. and so acquired the castle and a quarter of the lands of Yester


Joanna Giffard was the eldest of the four daughters, and was probably born in the period 1345-1350. She married Sir Thomas de Hay of Locherworth circa 1369. Sir Thomas de Hay had been one of the pledged hostages held by the English as part of the treaty arranged for the release of King David II. He was appointed the Sheriff of Peebles before 1373, and died between 1395 and 1399. In 1386 (Yester writ 35), Sir Thomas de Hay was called to represent the portioner interests of the four heiresses in the land of Ochtercummane. On Dec. 1, 1399, Joanna Giffard confirmed an earlier (1345) charter of her deceased father John Giffard. The document describes her as: "Joanna Hay, Lady Yester, spouse of the deceased Sir Thomas de Hay of Locherworth". Joanna Giffard was still living in January of 1401.

The known children of Sir Thomas de Hay and Joanna Giffard were:

  • 1. Sir Willam de Hay, (eldest son and heir who married Alicia de Hay of Erroll).
  • 2. John de Hay.
  • 3. Daughter who married Sir William Borthwick.
