COCKBURN T. N. FOULIS LONDON 6? EDINBURGH • MCMXIII The Edition of this work is limited to Two hundred and fifty copies^ of which this is No. 99 Edinburgh : T. and A. Constable, Printers to His Majesty PREFACE To the ma j ority of the present generation of Cockburns this account of their forbears should prove interesting. It is shown in these pages that for some six hundred years individual members of the family, of one branch or another, have been inseparably connected with the history of their country, and of the services they have rendered to it have left no mean record. There was published in the autumn of 1888 a bulky volume, written by Mr. Thomas Cockburn Hood, purport- ing to give an authentic history of the family. This produc- tion was hurriedly put together, and it has been proved to contain many misstatements, regarding not only dates but even the identities of various members of the family. Some six years after its publication the attention of the late Sir Edward Cockburn was drawn to it, and, with a view to bring- ing out a corrected and authentic account he employed, al- most up to the time of his death, at Christmas 1903, much of his time in endeavouring to unravel the distorted and fal- sified pedigrees of this singularly erroneous Family History. Owing to the health of Sir Edward giving way before he was able to see his work completed, it has devolved upon us to embody in this volume the result of his labours. In conclusion, we must acknowledge with thanks the as- sistance rendered by the Rev. Walter Macleod, and the ad- vice and help of the Rev. Henry Paton, without whose aid it is improbable that we should have been enabled to prove the descent of the Cockpen branch of the family from the Cockburns of Choicelee and Caldra. To many friends and acquaintances our thanks are due for the permission they have given to copy and reproduce pictures in their possession: to Lady Anne Dick Lauder, who owns the portrait of Adam Cockburn, Lord Ormiston; to the Directors of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, who possess that of his son John Cockburn, ' the father ' of Scot- v THE COCKBURN FAMILY RECORDS tish agriculture; to the President and Council of the Royal Scottish Academy, who permitted the use of their portrait ofLordCockburn; to Violet, Viscountess Melville, by whose kindness the portrait of Janet Rannie, Mrs. Cockburn of Cockpen,isincludedamong the illustrations; toMr.William Page,who owns the portraits of Robert Cockburn and his wife Mary Duff (' Byron's Mary'); to Mr. William Cockburn of Old Kilpatrick, who sent us a photograph, taken under exceptional difficulties, of the old Brass at Ormiston; and for his to Mr. J. H. Rutherfurd miniatures of Sir James Cockburn, first baronet of that Ilk, and of Sir William James Cockburn, fourth baronet. Finally, we must express our best thanks to Mr. Francis Bickley for his great assistance in revising the whole of the history, and making it, in a literary sense, much more worthy of a place among other family histories which have already been published; and to Mr. George A. Morton for his valuable help in revising the proofs. Robert Cockburn. Harry A. Cockburn. CONTENTS LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS .....

ARCHIBALD COCKBURN . „ 260 INTRODUCTION There can be little doubt that the family of Cockburn, which eventually spread into so many branches, won three baronetcies, and enriched its country's annals with no mean list of distinguished men, had its origin at Cockburn in the parish of Duns in Berwickshire. Of that origin, how- ever, no authentic records remain. Of the few isolated Cockburns who represent the family before the beginning of the fourteenth century, none can be pointed out as laird of those lands whose name he bore; and about 1306, just before Langton was acquired by marriage and Henderland was restored to its former owner, Cockburn was given to Sir James Douglas by King Robert 1., to whom ithad been for- feited for treason by one Sir Peter Luband. Afterwards it came to the Lindsays, and there were to be no Cockburns of that Ilk until 1527. Still, it may be taken as almost cer- tain that when William Cockburn acquired the Berwick- shire property by the prosaic method of purchase, he was returning to the home of his ancestors. It may, however, perhaps be mentioned—for the im- aginative rather than the scientific value of the idea—that the late Sir Edward Cockburn used to suggest a more pic- turesque descent for his line. This was that the original Cockburns were hereditary priests or standard-bearers of Irmin, the war-god of the Saxons, who invaded the Lothi- ans in the sixth century. The symbol of Irmin was a cock: hence both the name and the armorial bearings of the fam- ily dedicated to his service. * How far this is good history or good mythology let the experts decide; it must be admit- ted that it is somewhat dubious genealogy and heraldry. The cocks of the shield are, it is natural to suppose, nothing more than a punning allusion to the name. The family *For this god, and the famous idol, the Irminsula, which stood at Eresburg on the Danube until carried off by Charlemagne, see Turner's History of the Anglo-Saxons (6th ed.), vol. i. p. 222. A I THE COCKBURN FAMILY RECORDS may, like many lowlanders, be of Saxon origin. On the other hand, Norman characteristics, dark hair and brown eyes, predominate in all its branches. These, however, may be an inheritance from the common ancestress of the race, Mariota Vipont, who was undoubtedly of Norman stock. Be that as it may, Mariota's husband, Alexander Cock- burn, who married that lady, the heiress of Langton, about 1330, must be regarded as the founder of the family. It is true that the Cockburns had Henderland in the time of Edward 1. — who took it away from them, though his son restored it — but the lairds of Henderland cannot be certainly connected, though undoubtedly near akin, with the house of Langton, from which all the more modern branches are derived.* From the fourteenth century onwards the name be- comes frequent in the records relating to Edinburgh, East Lothian, and Berwickshire. For instance, in the registers of baptisms in Edinburgh from 1598 to 1740 there are more than two hundred entries, exclusive of those where the mother alone was a Cockburn; in those of Duns from 1617 to 1724 nearly two hundred and thirty entries; in those of Haddington from 1620 to 1700 no less than three hundred and seventy-five. t Nor are other classes of re- cords, wills, sasines, and so on, less prolific. It has been pos- sible, therefore, to trace with a great degree of certainty the history of most branches of the family.

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Sir Alexander and Sir Thomas Cockburn-Campbell
    71 Sir Alexander and Sir Thomas Cockburn-Campbell By BONNIE HICKS The Cockburn-Campbells, Alexander and Thomas, made a rare combination in colonial days, a father and son who were equally successful in the public and cultural circles of the era. Whilst some of us may be chary of the contribution of hereditary factors to suc­ cess in life, it does assist us to understand the motivations behind such men if we trace their lineage. The Cockburn-Campbell saga goes back a considerable way into antiquity. The genealogy commences with PIERS DE COCK­ BURN, who inherited the lands of Cockburn, so called from a burn bearing the name COK running through the property in the Merse region. This event took place in the reign of the Scottish king William the Lion in 1214. "Burke's Peerage" claims that Sir Robert Cockburn was the first knight and received the honour from Alexander III in the 13th century. At any rate, from him can be traced 22 heads of the family down to Sir Alexander Cockburn, Lord Chief Justice of England, in whom this line of the family terminated. It was this family which showed the cocks and six mascles (diamond shapes) on their coat-of-arms. (1) Cockburn was joined to Campbell when Sir Alexander Cockburn inherited under special limitation a Campbell baronetcy and assumed the additional surname. At this point is is appropriate to note that Alexander and Thomas have always been used almost exclusively for the first two sons of every generation, or alternatively father and son, right down to the present Sir Thomas Cockburn-Campbell, living in Forrestfield, and his son Alexander.
