David, who succeeded Walter, was presumably his son, and possibly the same David who witnesses royal charters of Smailholm to the chapter of Glasgow, which grant was confirmed by Pope Nicholas IV in 1288. David did not long survive his predecessor; he died possibly before 1245, probably before 1250, and certainly before 1253. Thereafter the estates, both in England and in Scotland, passed, doubtless through an heir female, to Walter de Moravia, the first of the Morays of Bothwell. Davids wife was Devorgilla, apparently of the Munfichet family. She granted all her lands in Northamptonshire or elsewhere in England to Laurence, son of Sir Walter de Munfichet, which grant was confirmed by William de Munfichet, Lord of Cargill, as here nearest heir, 22 December 1287. She appears in record in 1289 and 1296, and was alive in May 1300.
