The urns were neatly formed of common clay, three of which were filled with an unctuous kind of earth, and one of them, besides the earth, -contained the breast and side bones of a chicken. Two of the urns had handles, and all of them were tightly closed with shreds of trimming or woven cloth, the most of which, on being taken out, crumbled into powder. Part of these relics are preserved at Ladyland, together with a small coin found in the grounds adjoining the tower. The coin is of some com- pound metal, and bears the legend festina lente.-, but the •date and the impress on both sides appear to have been effaced bj long circulation. FAMILIES IN THE PARISH OP KILBIRNIE. CUNINGHAMES 01' GLENGASNOCK. As already stated, this barony was anciently in the posses- sion of a familj of the name of Riddell, supposed to have been descended from the Riddels of Teviotdale, The Cuninghamcs acquired the property by marriage. Beginald, the second son of Sir Edward Gonyngham of Kilmaurs, by his wife, Mary, daughter of the High Steward of Scotland, living about 1292, married Jonet Riddell, the heiress of Glengaraock,* William Cuningliame of G-lengarnock, was slain at Pinkie. Mis mother, "Lady IsaheUa Cunyngham," was alive at the * Millar's M.S. T 290 CUNINGHA3IE. time. Before taking his departure for the army, he made his will, which was confirmed, &c., 4th November, 1547. It was probably this William Cuninghame of Glengarnock who was engaged in so many of the local feuds of his time. The Books of Adjournal* show that, in 1530, May 23, " William Cunyng- hame of Glengarnock, David C. of Robertland, and thirty- seven of their followers, found caution to appear at the Justice-aire of Air, to underly the law for art and part of the forethought felony, and oppression done to Gabriel Sympill, lying in the highway, in feir of weir, near Ormysheuche, awaiting his arrival, for his slauchter, of forethought felony, and old feud." In 1503, November 20, he was engaged in the feud between his chief, the Earl of Glencairn, and Lord Sempill, and had to underly the law for assisting the Master of Glencairn in attempting the slaughter of Lord Sempill. " William Cunynghame of Glengarnock, David C. of Kobertland, and Robert C. of Auchinhervey, with sixteen others, found caution to underly the law at the same Justice-aire, for art and part of the forethought felony and oppression done to Robert Snod- gerse, Mark Sympill, and Patrick Young, coming with convocation of the lieges to the number of 100 persons, in warlike manner, on the (3d) day of September last, within the lands of the said Robert, and forcibly seizing and im- prisoning him, &c. The parties both Cuninghames and Sempills, were bound over to keep the peace, under the pains of 5000, 2000, and 1000 marks each, according to their respective ranks." Sir James CuningJiame of Glengarnock. "Jan. 29, 1595-6, James Cunynghame of Glengarnok ordained to be denounced, for not 'compeiring personalie' before the King and Council, Huicheing the removing of the ffeid standing betuix him and Schir Patrik Houstoun of that Ilk knt. and his frieudis,'" &c. He succeeded in 1599, and was served heir to his father in * Pitcau-n's Criminal Trials. f J PARISH OF KILBIRNIE. 291 1601. In 1G02, January 15, James Cwninghame of Glengar- nok was " dilatit of art and part of the slaucliter of vmqle. Williame Cuninghame in Walzaird." In 1609, " Sir James Cuninghame of Glengarnock" was one of the assize on the trial of Sir James Makconeill of Knokrynsay, knt., &c. He appears to have been knighted about this time. His name occurs in several testamentary documents, a few years pre- viously, as James Cuninghame simply. In the testament of "Hew Gi-arven, notar, toune clerk of Irwein," in 1610, however it occurs thus: "Item, be Sir James Cuuynghame of Glengar- nock, the sowme of Thrie hundreth thretty-thrie pund vi ;. viii d." Having got into pecuniary difficulties. Sir James " assigned, in 1609,* the lands of Glengarnock in behoof of his creditors, and went to Ireland, where he had got a grant of 12,000 acres of laud from King James VI. Jolm Cunin'jhame, representative of the family of Glengar- nock. With the view of recovering the wadset lands of Boquhan, he sold the lands of Crawfield, Beith parish, to Gabriel Poterfield of Hapland, and Jean Maxwell, his spouse. The deed of sale was dated at Castle- Cuninghame, Ireland, the penult day of January, 164 3. Arms—Argent, a shake-fork, sable, charged with a cinque foil of the first. *- The name of Sir .James Cuninghame of Glengarnoclf occurs in several testamentary documents connected with the locality as late as 1615, at which period he appears to have still remained in Scotland. t Durie mentions that, being engaged in a law plea in 1626, Sir James Cuninghame of Glengarnock borrowed 1000 merks from Walter Forrester upon his lands of Boquhan. X Beith Papers. 292 CVNINGEAME. THE OTHER CUNINGHAMES OF GLENGAKNOCK. David CuningJiame of Robertland bought the barony of Glengarnock, and was infeft in it, 15th October, 1628, His second son, Alexander, who married Elizabeth, daughter of John Cuninghameof Cumbuskeith, resided at Ladyland in 1G47. He joined the Marquis of Montrose, and was rebuked for doing so an the kirk of Kilbirnie. He appears to have garrisoned the old castle of Glengarnock in the—royal cause. The following notice occurs in reference to this : " Debursit be the Hieate, Bigert, andKamsheid, to Alexander Cunyngham his garrison of Glengarnock, £51, 15s. Od., July, 1G51, the half £25, 17s. 6d." The Robertland family sold the barony of Glengarnock in 1651 or 1652 to Eichard Cuninghame, son of William Cuninghame, clerk of the Signet, and depute-keeper of the Privy Seal, who died before 1646. William was the second son of James Cuning- hame of Aishinyairds, in Kilwinning parish—a branch of the Craigends family. Richard married, in 1654, Elizabeth, daughter of James Heriot of Trabroun, and neice of the celebrated George Heriot, founder of Heriot's hospital in Edinburgh. This lady had possibly some relations in the vicinity of Glengarnock, for Maister John Heriot was " minister of the word" at Kilbirnie in 1615. Richard Cuninghame of Glengarnock, born at Glengarnock in 1656. He was served heir to the property 5th June, 1671.

The story of the Historic Families of Ayrshire is one of «xceptional interest, as well from the personal as from the county, as here and there from the national, standpoint. As one traces it along the centuries he realises, what it is sometimes difficult to do in a general historical survey, what sort of men they were who carried on the succession of events, and obtains many a glimpse into their own character that reveals their individuality and their idiosyncracies, as well as the motives that actuated and that animated them.
