"Sir James Colville, 1st laird of East Wemyss, married seccond, by congract dated at Edinburgh 21 May 1536 Margaret Forrester, sister german of David Forrester of Garden, by whom he had a daughter Margaret Colville and a son Mr. Alexander Colville, Commendator of Culross.... After Sir James Colville's death in England, on 10 January 1540/1 his widow Margaret and eldest son and heir James received a summons to appear before Parliament. On 14 March 1540/1, Margaret and her step-son witnessed the sentence of forfeiture against her late husband read aloud--proclaiming him guilty of the crime of...high treason.... the forfeiture was rescinded by parliament on 12 December 1543 and on 17 March 1543/4 the Lords of Council restored Colville's estate."[1]

"The precise date of Margaret Forrester's marriage to Henry Livingston of Falkirk has not been determined... In his Scots Peerage article, Wood cites a record registered 22 May 1550 of a dispute over a contract between Henry Livingston, here styled "in Falkirk," and Margaret Forrester, and Commendator William Colville, Sir James Colville, 2nd laird of East Wemyss, Robert Colville of Cleish, and others...."[2]

"It seems that in his youth Mr. Henry Livingston [son of Henry Livingston and Margaret Forrester] was placed with his elder half-brother Mr. Alexander Colville. As an apprentice in Mr. Alexander's household, Henry would have learned reading, writing and social protocol. And apparently Henry helped his half-brother with family business.... And finally, on 26 July 1586, at Edinburgh, 'Mr. Henry Lewingston, brother of the Iconimus [emphasis added], witnessed a charter to John Kennedy of Pennyglen. The fact that Mr. Henry Livingston is described as the brother of Mr. Alexander Colville, Iconomus of Melrose, can only mean they were uterine brothers, i.e., their mother was Margaret Forrester, widow of Sir James Colville of East Wemyss. Robert Milne the younger's manuscript pedigree is thus proved correct: Sir James Colville's widow married Henry Livingston of Falkirk and was the mother of Mr. Henry Livingston, Minister of St. Ninian's.[3]
