| Children with : | ||
| Bertram de Seton (-)2 | ||
| Dugal (-)3 | ||
| Dugal may have been the brother of Bertram as his grandson had the same properties in 1271 as Bertram had in 1201. Alternatively, Dugal could be the son of Bertram (while this seems to add too many generations) or Dugal or his son may have married a daughter of Bertram. | ||

| He had a charter of confirmation of the land that was Philip his father's, viz., Setune and Wintune and Wincelburgh, granted at Forfar by King William the Lion; to be held by the service of one knight as is shown by my charter made thereupon to his father. This confirmation is now considered to date from about the year 1195. The name of Alexander de Seton, (sometimes styled knight), occurs frequently in record throughout the reign of King Alexander II. He made a donation to Dunfermline Abbey for the benefit of his soul before 1246, and is said to have died shortly afterwards. There appears to be in existence no record evidence of the devolution of his estates for many years after his time.4 | ||
