Notes |
- This Edward is described in the Colbert genealogy as younger of the two Edwards named in the following: "Edward Colbert (who gave very early, first lustre to this family in France, and was the seventh progenitor in a right line to the illustrious and noble lord Lord Charles Edward Colbert, marquis of Seignelay, secretary of state to the most serene French king and superintendent of all his maritime affairs) was born lawfully in lawful matrimony of illustrious parents of the Scots nation, and which derive their pedigree from several illustrious and noble families for many ages, for Edward Cuthbert was son to Edward Cuthbert, a son of Castlehill, and to his spouse Margaret Lindsay, he was grandchild to George Cuthbert, baron of Castlehill, begot on his wife Mary Ross...."
The chronology presented in the Colbert genealogy is nearly impossible to reconcile exactly as presented, but it seems to be no more than a generation out, so it's possible that some minor errors may exist.
