THE F^AIKDS Ul" DOWIIILL. 239
This James, af'terwardH Sir James, was the repreyenta-
tive of a I'amily an aiict'stor of vvhicli had married one
of the heiresses of David do I^ochore, who hroii^ht to
her husband great estates, inehulin*r Wester Lochore
and the barony of Torry, which Sir James inlierited.
•Agnes de Crambeth was not the only wife of Sir
James de Valoniis. He seems to have married,
secondly, one whose name was Christian, unless there
is an error in the transcription of a document.* lie
also, after 1396, married Elizabeth de Lyndesay ; for
which marriage a dispensatiim had tu be {procured
because the contracting parties were related both by
affinity and by consanguinity.
Sir James de Valoniis had no male issue by any of
his marriages, and no issue whatever by Elizabeth de
Lyndesay, who survived him. But he left at least two
daughters, Christian, the elder, who married Andrew
Wardlaw of Wilton, and Euphane, who married John
Sibbald of Balgonie. J Christian and Euphane brought
to their husbands, parts of Crandjeth ; and this tliey
might do whether they were daughters iA' Agnes de
Crambeth or no ; for their father had acquired for
himself a part of that barony which had never been
the property of his wife Agnes, but which had belonged
originally to Alexander de Crambeth, from whom it
had passed first to Sir Alan de Erskyue, and eventu-
ally to him. Sir James de Valoniis. § Even assuming
