William Seton of Kylesmure

William Seton of Kylesmure (1562-1635) was a Scottish landowner, postmaster, Sheriff of Edinburgh, and administrator of the jointure lands of Anne of Denmark in Scotland.

In 1605 Seton was appointed to the commission for the pacification of the Scottish borders, a body set up after the Union of the Crowns.

William Seton wrote to Anne Livingstone to discuss a letter from an influential courtier Lady Jane Drummond.

[4] His advice was that she should write to Jane Drummond and Anne of Denmark, to persuade them to influence King James in her favour.

The Privy Council acknowledged various documents and Foulstruther's statement, but felt that only the Court of Session was competent to pass judgement.

[12] In July 1619 the Chancellor wrote to King James reminding him that Kylesmure was exempted from serving as a Justice of the Peace for Haddingtonshire.
