C') The proof that it was he (and not his father, as has hitherto been stated in all previous accounts, including the recent Scots Peerage) who was created Earl, has been kindly furnished to the Editor by J. Maitland Thomson, LL.D. The person who was Master of Dalzell 1 1 July 1 635 (Reg. Mag. Sig.) was Lord Dalzell at the date of his son's marriage contract, 21 July 1637 (Reg. of Deeds, 526, 69); and the first Lord Dalzell was dead July 1636 (Lanark Sas., Upper Ward, III, 342). "It there- fore follows as the night the day " that it was Robert the son who was created Earl of Carnwath 21 Apr. 1639. V.G. i^) See note by the late R. R. Stodart in Foster's Coll.
