Biography

Scottish flag
Mariota (Hoppringle) Borthwick was born in Scotland.

It is not known where or when she was born.

William 1st Lord Borthwick (d. about 1485-6) married as his second wife, presumably after 21st Nov 1458 (date of the Marriage Grant), a widow, this Mariotta Hoppringle. It is unclear if that is her maiden name or the surname of her first husband, bit it is probably her maiden name. By a charter under The Great Seal of Scotland of 14th January 1548/9 (no.667) The Lord Borthwick was granted the lands of Glengelt which Mariotta de Hoppringle resigned to him in her pure widowhood. It is also shown that she brought to her marriage the lands of Collilaw. She was still living at the end of 1473 and may have been quite young when her first husband died.[1]

This woman shows up as my 13th great-grandmother on a family tree at FamilySearch.org:

Mariotta Hoppringle 1 January 1504 – 1 January 1588 birth: 1504; Melrose, Roxburgh, Scotland

Marriage about 1545 Roxburghshire, Scotland to Walter Riddell [1520 - 1592]

Can anyone confirm these dates to be correct? Any relation to the Mariota [Hoppringle] referenced on this page. Thank you.

Borthwick-450 and Hoppringle-1 appear to represent the same person because: Same person

This person should be merged with Hoppringle-1

Her surname at birth was Hoppringle, as far as we know, not Borthwick.
