Lord of Kinneil David Hamilton Male Baron 100 Sir David fitz Walter (d. 1375x8). Elder, and perhaps only son of Sir Walter fitz Gilbert (d. in or before 1346). Present at the battle of Nevilles Cross (1346), where he was made prisoner. Knighted by June 1361. He he obtained a charter from King David II in Dec. 1368, referring to a grant of the barony of Cadzow made to his father by Robert I, now confirmed with the addition of the lands of Eddlewood. As a baron he attended the parliaments of 27 March 1371 and 4 April 1373, when the succession to the crown was settled on John, earl of Carrick, and his successors. He is known certainly to have had two sons, and may have had two others and a daughter. He was alive in November 1375, but had died by October 1378. See ODNB, under 'Hamilton family'.
