[A significant correction to this page was made on 15.11.04 when it was realised, after KL had kindly brought the error to our attention, that the details for Sir Edward de Keith of Synton had been mixed up with those of Robert de Keith, grandson of the Sir Robert de Keith who died in 1346. Sir Edward was the successor of Sir Robert who was his elder brother.]

(c)+other issue - Sir Richard (dsp), Philip, daughter

(iii)Robert de Keith
TSP reports "It may have been another son of Sir John de Keth who married Joanna, eldest daughter of William de Galbrathe (son of Sir William Galbrathe by a daughter of Sir John Cumyn of Badenoch). She was heiress of Dalserf, and died in 1301. They had issue Bernard de Cathe of Keth (a Sir Bernard de Keth appears in 1307, attached to the English interest).". The article on Bardowie in 'The Old Country Houses of the Old Glasgow Gentry' identifies Janet Keith (shown below, wife of Sir David Hamilton) as "heiress through her mother of the Galbraiths". This suggests that it was this son (Robert?)'s son Sir William who married Joanna de Galbrathe but TSP suggests a generation earlier.
