Walter Halyburton, 1st of Pitcur and Gask (a 1433)
m. Catherine Chisholm (dau of Alexander de Chisholm)
Although we have information on several different generations of this family, little has yet been connected.
1. ?? Halyburton of Pitcur
Not certain on number of intervening generations. Possibly of the same generation were ...
  A/B. Andrew Halyburton of Pitcur
  m. Elizabeth Graham (dau of Robert Graham of Strathcarron and Fintry)
  B/A. John Halyburton of Pitcur (d by c1512)
  m. Anne Grant (dau of John Grant of Freuchie)

  i. William Haliburton, younger of Gask and Pitcur
  m. (mcrt 16.03.1506/7) Elizabeth Ogilvy (dau of Alexander Ogilvy, younger of Clova)

 

 

It is not known how the following were related to the above ....
  a. James Halyburton of Pitcur, Provost of Dundee (b c1518, d 1588)
  A web site suggests that the Margaret who married Thomas Maule was a grandniece of Provost David so ...
  b. ?? Halyburton
  (1) George Halyburton of Pitcur
TSP (Panmure) identifies the following links between the following siblings of the Maules of Panmure and the Haliburtons:
- Thomas Maule married to Margaret Haliburton ("a daughter of the Laird of Pitcur")
- Margaret Maule married to Andrew Haliburton of Pitcur
- Elizabeth Maule married to William Haliburton, "brother of the Laird of Pitcur"
Margaret is identified by a web site as daughter of Sir George (H of P) and grandniece of the James, Provost of Dundee. That web site also suggested that Margaret was married to John Ogilvy of Balfour before her marriage to Thomas Maule but an earlier marriage by her is not mentioned by TSP (Panmure).
  (A) Andrew Halyburton of Pitcur
  m. Margaret Maule (dau of Robert Maule of Panmure)
  (B) William Halyburton
  m. Elizabeth Maule (dau of Robert Maule of Panmure)
  (C) Margaret Halyburton (b c1526, d 10.1602)
m. (11.1546) Thomas Maule of Panmure (b 21.12.1521, d 07.03.1600)

 

 

 

 

TSP (Dundee) reports that "In December 1586 George Haliburton of Pitcur granted a charter of the lands of Thorngreen to his son James and Margaret Scrimgeour, his future wife". BLG1886 (Graham of Fintry) reports that "Mary, dau, of James Halliburton, of Pitcur, by Margaret his wife, dau. of Sir James Scrymgeour, of Dudhope, 1st Viscount of Dundee". Whilst BLG1886 is wrong to call James Scrymgeour the 1st Viscount (Margaret's brother was the 1st), these points suggest that James of Thorngreen later inherited Pitcur. Note that the marriage dates make it look difficult but not impossible for this George to be the same as the George above whose siblings intermarried with the Maules.
  (1) George Halyburton of Pitcur
  (A) (Sir) James Halyburton of Thorngreen, later of Pitcur
  m. (after 11.1586) Margaret Scrymgeour (dau of Sir James Scrymgeour of Dudhope, Constable of Dundee)
