He [William] was twice married, and both his wives were heiresses. The first, "Emma 
de Sancto Hilario," inherited the barony of Boltoun, in the constabulary of Haddington, 
the possession of the St. Hilarys. . . The second was Matilidis de Sancti Andrea 
(Bishop Arnald's daughter?). She brought him these lands of Horndean in the Merse. 
By Emma St. Hilary he had two sons, both named William, being distinguished as 
"Primogenitus" and "Medius", and another, Ivo. A third William, his son by Matilidis, 
was styled "Junior." 

William "Primogenitus," who inherited the estates abovenamed in the counties of 
Berwick, Linlithgow, and Haddington, confirmed his father's many grants for the 
welfare of the souls "Dominorum King William and his Queen, and their son Alexander, 
and their other children, and for the benefit likewise of the souls of Kings David and 
Malcolm, and of Earl Henry and those of his own father and mother, and all of his 
ancestors and successors." The deeds were sometimes witnessed by this brothers, 
William "Medius" and "Junior", as in the confirmation of "Boeltun", and also upon two 
occasions by "Matillidis de Sancto Andrea", the latter's mother, as she is therein 
distinctly designated, showing that the statement that the three Williams were all sons 
of Emma de St. Hilary is an error. 

The three William de Veteri-Ponte brothers left many descendants, who appear to 
have intermarried frequently with the families who had Robert, Lord of Westmoreland, 
and his brothers, Ivo and William, for their founders. Ivo was deemed by Matthew 
Paris as equally wicked a counsellor of King John as his brother Robert. Their mother, 
as before stated, was daughter of the Great Constable of Scotland, Hugh de 
Moreville. [The House of Cockburn of that Ilk and the Cadets thereof]

NOTE: The above source states that the daughter of Hugh de Morville m. a Robert de 
Vieuxpont and was mother of Robert & William & Ivo, but Patricia Junkin states she 
married a William de Morville (who I believe to be William "Primogenitus" above).
