The Seton's of Cariston Descent

(revised December 2013)

The Hon John Seton, 1st of Cariston (a 1553), was in 1545 temporarily served as heir to his brother George, 7th Lord Seton when a false report of his death reached Scotland.  He sat in Parliament as a peer as Lord Seton, before dispossesed of the title and estates of Seton upon his brother's return from Flanders.
m. Isabel Balfour (niece of David Balfour of Carraldstoun ie. Cariston), she m2 James Seton of Ramelrie.
1. George Seton, 2nd of Cariston
  m. Margaret Ayton (dau of John Ayton of that ilk)
  A. George Seton, 3rd of Cariston.  His kinsman Robert, Earl of Winton, left his father 1000 merks "to be laid for profeit upon land or annual rents", for the benefit of this George Seton of Cariston. At the funeral of Alexander Seton Earl of Dunfermline in 1622 he carried the arms of the Earl of Winton.
  m. (1620) Cecilia Kynynmond (dau of David Kynynmond of that Ilk and of Craighall in Fife)
  i. George Seton, 4th of Cariston (b c1622, d 1688), Co-heir of Sir Thomas Seton of Olivestob.  As a boy he was brought up with Lord Seton, son of the third Earl of Winton. He was a close friend also of his kinsman Charles second Earl of Dunfermline, through whom he had an offer of a knighthood, which he declined. He must have been a man of considerable attainments as in 1673 he was on the leet for being a Lord of Session; Dunfermline's death however stopped his getting it. The Cariston family papers show that he managed the affairs of the Regality of Dunfermline,
of which the Earls had the heritable bailiary.

Against his own inclinations George Seton found himself involved in the activities of the Fife Covenanters, and took part in the battle of Kilsyth in 1645, where Montrose won his brilliant victory over them. During the Cromwellian occupation he was wrongfully accused of being implicated with his brother David in the affair of the English troopers mentioned above, and his estate was sequestrated for some years. Never a confirmed Covenanter this treatment meta-morphosed his outlook and, in 1679, he and his son Christopher were serving against the Covenanters, with
the Earl of Winton, and were present at the action of Bothwell Brig. He was a man of hasty temper, and Lauder of Fountainhall reports of him that, in 1674, "falling at variance with another man he gave command to his servant to shoot him; who did so, and the man with much difficulty recovered". Again, in October 1680, two of his daughters raised a libel for aliment against him on the ground that he "had used them most barbarously".
  m. (1638) Margaret Seton (eldest dau of Sir Thomas Seton of Olivestob, Baronet, 4th son of Robert Seton, 1st Earl of Winton)
  a. George Seton (d young)
  b. Christopher Seton, 5th of Cariston (b c1645, d 1718) and Lineal and Male Representative of the Seton's of Olivestob, and Heir to the Baronetcy of Olivestob.  He was a Royalist, and in 1679 he took part, with his father, in the action at Bothwell Brig,
in the Lothian Militia under the command of the Earl of Winton. He also had some military experience as Lieutenant in a troop of horse raised by Colin, Earl of Balcarres, during the reign of James VII.

He was a personal friend of the Earl of Winton, and was one of his Commissioners for the management of the Winton estates during the Earl's frequent absences abroad.  He died in 1718 aged seventy three.
