Robert de Cauldcotys or Caldcotys witnessed a charter of the lands of Lamberton in 1332 (BNCH., XVI, p. 327), and the seal of S' Johannis Caldecot is appended to a charter by John of Caldecotys to William of Caldecotys, his son of the lands of Grayden in the earldom of March c. 1360 (Seals Supp., 157). John de Caldicotys, dominus de Hoton, was a charter witness in 1361 (PSAS., XXIII, p. 30), and the seal of Cristiane de Caldecottis is appended to the renunciation by her of the lands of Grayden and Sympryne in 1424 (Macdonald, 310). The seal of John Caldecote of that Ilk, c. 1387, bears the legend S' iohannis caldcotys (ibid., 309). Caldcottis 1459.
