"History of the Somerville family, compiled by Lord Somerville in the year 1679, is the following passage respecting the matches of the first Lord Somerville's daughters. ' This nobleman being blessed with many children, whereof five being alyve wer now come to the estate of men and women, his eldest daughter named Marie, this year 1427, he marryes upon Sir William Hay of Yestir ; his youngest daughter, named Margaret after his own mother, he marryes upon the Laird of Closeburn in Niddis- dale, of the sirname of Kirkpatrick, whose son Thomas named efter his grandfather the Lord Somerville, we will have occasion to speak of in the memorie of his cousin Lord John. What portion in land or money this lady had from her father I find not, but it appears the house of Closeburn has been very well satisfied with this match. Thus we see this nobleman happy and fortunate in his own match, and in the match- ing of his daughters, being all in his own life time marryed to gentlemen of eminent qualitie, two of them, Closeburn and Restairig, chief of their names and families.'
Margaret Somerville, Lady Closeburn, left a widow with a family, married her second husband Thomas Ker of Fernyhirst, ancestor of the Marquis of Lothian,"https://archive.org/stream/kirkpatrickofclo00kirk/kirkpatrickofclo00kirk_djvu.txt
