[1] Seton gave birth to fifteen children, seven sons and eight daughters, of whom only four survived.
[2] Her eldest son John Maitland became a prominent Scottish politician who was made Duke of Lauderdale in 1672.
[4] While Seton's tapestries do not survive, they were celebrated in a series of nine neo-Latin epigrams written by the Scottish poet Arthur Johnston and published in the Delitiae Poetarum Scotorum (1637).
Epigrams 2-7 praise her marvellous and naturalistic depiction of flowers, fruits, animals, birds, fish, and the planets, which are pictured in the guise of Roman gods.
The eighth epigram describes Seton's portrayal of the Roman heroine Lucretia.
