General Notes: Husband - George Herriott
He was a descendent of the well-known Herriott family of Scotland, who claim descent from David 1st of Scotland, (1124-53) who by marriage became the earl of Huntingdon. King David was a great monarch and for his wise administration and purity of his life was deemed a saint by his people. He was succeeded by his grandson, Malcolm IV, (1154-65). Herriott is spelled both Herriott and Herriot. Herriott was assigned a leading part in Sir Walter Scott's novel, "Sir Nigel." Mr. Cook had a very interesting article on his family descent copied from an ancient book (Guillim's Display of Heraldry).
