About 1180 Richard de Morville, with the consent of his son William, granted liberty to the monks of Melrose to plough and sow the lands of Blanslie and the plain beyond the grove over to the Leader Water. This grant was confirmed by William de Morville, presumably his son.
Also in the twelfth century, Richard de Morville rented Eddleston - now a parish in Peeblesshire - from the Bishop of Glasgow.
Richard married Avice (who survived him), daughter of William de Lancaster, Baron of Kendal by his spouse Gundred, daughter of William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey. They had at least five children:
Malcolm, accidentally killed by Adulf de St.Martin while hunting.
William, alive in 1180 but said to have died without issue.
Maud, who married William de Vieuxpont (who became Lord of Westmorland)
Elena (born circa 1170), eventual sole heir to her father, who married Roland of Galloway (died 1200).
