William Middleton

As Captain William Middleton he is men- tioned in several deeds, 1669 and 1670. - Ibid. (Dab.), 20 December 1669 - Ibid. (Dundee), 18 June 1675

On 8 April 1672 he was admitted a Burgess of Aberdeen 'for love and favour.' M As Colonel William he was a witness to baptisms in the Strathmore family up to 1701. It is possible that he is the William Middleton of Kincardine O'Neil whom Sir James Strachan of Thornton designs his cousin-german in 1663. - Sheriff Clerks Deeds, Aberdeen, 17 July 1672

The relationship may have been through Strachan's mother, Marie Ramsay, who was a sister of Eliza- beth Ramsay, mother of Robert Middleton of Cald- ham. The date of William's death has not been ascertained. If he were the same as the William of Kincardine O'Neil his wife's name was Madeline Sinclair.
