== Biography ==

Sir William Abernathy, 6th of Saltoun was the son of [[Abernethy-6|George Abernethy]]. He must have succeeded his father about the end of the fourteenth century. He was probably born not later than 1365, if he is the person who witnessed a charter granted by Sir James de Douglas, Lord of Dalkeith, in 1388. [[#BalfourPaul|Balfour Paul]]: [https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun07pauluoft#page/404/mode/2up Vol 7, Page 405]
He also witnessed, in 1397, a grant by George, Earl of Angus, to James Sandilands of the wardship of his son and heir.
He died of "Le Quhew", probably influenza, in 1420. [[#BalfourPaul|Balfour Paul]]: [https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun07pauluoft#page/406/mode/2up Vol 7, Page 406]

===Family===
He married Mary (Maria) Stewart, daughter of Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany and Margaret Graham, Countess of Menteith, in 1398. In 1404 they received a Charter from King Robert, where he is described as "dilectus confederatus noster" (our beloved ally) of certain lands in the baronyof Rethy and Kingaltuy on his own resignation. However Balfour Paul notes that the lady is not designed niece of the King, this seems rather to indicate that she was a second wife. [[#BalfourPaul|Balfour Paul]]: [https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun07pauluoft#page/406/mode/2up Vol 7, Page 406] This point , suggesting he had married twice, is generally ignored by genealogists. They had children:
* Sir William Abernethy. Killed at the battle of Harlaw, 24 July 1411. He married Margaret, daughter of Sir William Borthwick and had children who would succeed.
* James Abernethy. There is a charter, 26 July 1393, by Archibald, Earl of Douglas, to James de Abernethy, of the lands of Theynside and Harwood, in the barony of Hawick, which belonged to Sir William of Abernethy, younger, brother of the said James, and were resigned by him. James appears to have been succeeded in these lands by his nephew Oswald, youngest son of Sir William and Margaret Borthwick.
* Patrick Abernethy. He was witness to a charter by the Regent Albany on 24 November 1413, in which he is styled "noster nepos dilectus" (our beloved nephew).
* John Abernethy. There is some ground for believing that the John Abernethy who received from Sir William Abernethy, dominus de Saltoun, a grant of the lands of Kinnaltie, in the barony of Rethie, co. Forfar, was another son. [[#BalfourPaul|Balfour Paul]]: [https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun07pauluoft#page/406/mode/2up Vol 7, Page 406]
