THE GENEALOGY

OF THE FAMILIES

DOUGLAS OF MULDERG

ROBERTSON OF KINDEACE

WITH THEIR DESCENDANTS

DINGWALL: A. M. ROSS & COMPANY. MDCCCXCV.

PREFATORY NOTICE.

We think it may be well to state here the reasons why the genealogical outlines •of the families of Douglas of Mulderg and Robertson of Kindeace have been printed. They are the work of a descendant of the Douglas family, who lives amongst us, and has been known during the last thirty or forty years as a genea- logist of gx-eat ability and possessing very wide information. This gentleman has frequently of late years been asked for information regarding these two families, therefore he has kindly complied with the request of some of those interested in the Douglas and Robertson families that his genealogical knowledge of them should be printed. The advantage of printing will be seen when it is understood that a large portion of the matter this book contains has not hitherto been pub- lished, and might easily be lost and forgotten, as many of the descendants of these families have not been proprietors of land and their representatives have gone to all quarters of the globe in order to make their fortunes. The habit of wandering far afield has rendered the collection of full particulars in some cases extremely difficult, and in others impossible ; so, when there are errors in this book, they may, we hope, be pardoned, as great care has been taken in trying to avoid mistakes. It is with considerable regret that the system of giving authorities for every sentence and word has been abandoned ; but, if this plan is properly carried out, it increases the bulk of a book to a tremendous extent, and, owing to the long quotations necessary, renders a genealogy rather broken ; also, if the system of giving authorities is not scrupulously adhered to, it leaves as much room for romance and false statements as there would be if no authorities were given. However, most of the quotations from documents and sasines in these two genea- logies were kindly given by Sir James D. Mackenzie, Bart, of Scatwell and Tarbat, from the genealogical papers of his late brother, Lewis M. Mackenzie, Esq. of

Findon ; as well as by Charles Fraser-Mackintosh, Esq. of Drummond, who has most courteously allowed information to be reprinted from his valuable, and now scarce, work, " The Antiquarian Notes," which contains so much matter relating to the Robertsons of Inches and their descendants. Much information has also been gathered from such books as Dr Hew Scot's important collection of particulars concerning Scotch ministers, the " Fasti Ecc. Sco.," as well as "The Origines Parochiales Scotia," "Northern Notes and Queries," and many other works of an historical character. Also contemporary MSS., and other sources, from which genealogical matter can be obtained, have been searched. ;

VI. PREFATORY NOTICE.

Regarding the origin of the Clan Robertson, nothing has been said, as it has been considered better to begin that genealogy from a distinct and clear ancestor, rather than to try and find the name of their progenitor through a mist of years, which has allowed even great authorities to arrange the Robertson origin according to fancy, and to carry them down, unsupported by contemporary evidence, until a firm foothold could be found. The remote origins, through a string of names, given to Clans may be pleasing to some people on account of great antiquity, bub to those who think about genealogies these wild flights of speculation or romance make a work absurd, and cast suspicion and doubt on the portions treating of a later date, which are probably really honest and worthy of credence. Sincere and grateful thanks are due to the following for their kindness in giving information : —Sir James D. Mackenzie, Bart, of Scatwell and Tarbat

Charles Fraser-Mackintosh, Esq. of Drummond ; George Mackay, Esq., M.D.,

Edinburgh ; Charles Robertson, Esq. of Kindeace ; Mrs Robertson of Chilcote

Miss Mary Eleanor Robertson ; Mrs Douglas of The Rock, Isle of Man ; William

Munro, Esq. of Balerno ; A. A. Bethune-Baker, Esq. ; George Bain, Esq. of Rose- bank, Nairn ; Alexander Bain, Esq., Gilgarren ; The Rev. A. W. Cornelius Hallen, of Alloa, Editor of "Northern Notes and Queries"; Raymond Thine Berthon, Esq., and many others who have given invaluable assistance. The late Mrs Balfour-Melville of Pilrig and Straith Kennes was also most kind in lending her papers, which contained the result of continued research for genealogical inform- ation regarding her own family, their ancestors and connections. The orthography of the names of persons and places, in printing from the^e MSS., has been strictly followed. Since going into press some further information has been forthcoming, which is given in Addenda I. and II.; also several errors are rectified in the Corrigenda.

A. M. ROSS & CO .

THE DOUGLASSES OF MULDERG.

The exact date at which the Douglasses settled in Ross-shire cannot now with accuracy be ascertained. But the traditions of the family uniformly assert that they came from Lanarkshire to the North about the time of the Reformation. It appears from reliable evidence that they were located about the Abbey of Fearn, in Easter Ross, at the latter part of the sixteenth century, and possessed landed property in the seventeenth and early part of the eighteenth century, in the parishes of Fearn and of Kiltearn. In the Valuation Roll, 1644, of the Sheriffdom of Inverness, including Ross, Hector Douglas I. of Mulderg is styled "of Mulderg;" his rental in Fearn parish is marked £1540 Scots, and in Kiltearn parish £533 6s 8d Scots. In 1646 he was one of those selected to make a loan, his name and the amount appear- ing in a list discerned at Aberdeen thus—" Hector Douglas, Elder of Mulderg, £1333 6s 8d Scots." Hector Douglas IV. of Mulderg was appointed one of the Commissioners of Supply for the Sheriffdom of Ross in 1661. In 1662 he was fined £2400 for non-conformity to Scottish Episcopacy, the highest fine being that of Mackenzie, Kilcoy, £6000, who is said to have been a pious man. The second largest was that of the excellent Sir Robert Munro, Baronet of Fowlis, £3600. The third highest was that of Hector Douglas, Mulderg. He was in good company, for Wodrow, the historian, testifies relative to those who were fined, "that so far as he could learn anything about them, generally speaking, they were persons of the best morals and most shining piety in the places where they lived, and chargeable with nothing but being Pres- THE DOUGLASSES OF MULDERG. byterians. Middleton thought that all the fines would have come into his own hands, as well as the estate of the Marquis of

Argyle ; but of all this he was disappointed, as the money came to other hands. But the fines were uplifted and much more by military force" (see Wodrow's -History, vol. I., page 271). From the title deeds of the property of Mulderg in the possession of the present proprietor, it appears that there was a

"Hector Douglas, younger," in 1647 ; also that a "Hector Douglas died in 1675." The Douglas family ceased as pro- prietors of Mulderg in 1718. Some of the Douglasses also possessed the estate of Rainy, which adjoins that of Mulderg to the north and north-east. Both these properties were possessed by the Maccullochs at a later date. The Douglasses of Mulderg and of Kiltearn were the same family, and their burying-grounds in both parishes can be pointed out. Below is a copy of the initials in the burying-ground of the Douglasses in the aisle adjoining the Abbey of Fearn at the north-east.

The burying-ground of the Douglasses in Kiltearn is at the east gable of the Parish Church, surrounded by a high iron railino- attached to the gable of the Church, and several tomb- stones on pillars along the gable within the railing. —

I. Hector Douglas I. of Mulderg was proprietor as early as 1630, for his son Hector was then "apparent of Mulderg." According to "Northern Notes and Queries," Hector the elder married Janet Ross, but it is more likely his wife was H.

He died 18th October, 1810, aged 77. Mrs Rainy died in Glasgow 13th August, 1833. Mr Rainy was a native of Aberdeenshire, and, therefore, unacquainted with Gaelic. During the latter part of his course at the Divinity Hall, when tutor in a gentleman's family in the parish of Kilmuir- Easter, county Ross, he was highly esteemed for his piety by the eminent minister of that parish, the Rev. John Portius, and urged by him to study Gaelic. He acquired a number of vocables, and could speak it fluently, but failed in acquiring the proper pronunciation, which is difficult to any but a native Highlander, He must have been a man of ability when he acquired the knowledge of it which he did, for at that time no Grammar or Dictionary of the lanmiao-e was available. But his own congre- gation understood him well. The Rev. Mr Sage of Resolis, who knew Mr Rainy intimately, says of him in his Memorabilia that he "was a very model of a sincere practical Christian, and preached the Gospel by his life ; that when his congregation connected the doctrine which he taught in the pulpit with his intercourse amongst them, his sanctified dispositions and warmth of heart, they forgot the liberties which he took with their language and listened with attention, because they were convinced that they heard the Truth from the lips of one of its most faithful ministers." Mrs Rainy was pious, the impersonation of motherly kindness, and the beau ideal of a minister's wife. Mr and Mrs Rainy had issue — —

THE ROBERTSONS OF KINDEACE, COUNTY EOSS.

The name by which the Robertsons are known is " Clan- donachaidh." Their genealogy cannot be commenced prior to the time of Andrew de Atholia, who was father of Duncan de Atholia, Earl of Athol from whom the Clan takes its name. He was a great warrior, and a firm supporter of the cause of Robert Bruce. When a very aged man he fought, in company with his son Robert, at the battle of Durham against the English, 12th October, 1346. He married a daughter of Callum Ruaidh Leamnach (the Gaelie name of Malcolm, 5th Earl of Lennox), by whom he had a son and successor, Robert. Duncan de Atholia married, secondly, one of the co-heirs of Ewen de Insulis, Thane of Glentilt, by whom he had issue—Patrick, progenitor of the Robertsons of Lude, Thomas, and Gibbon. He had a Charter, dated December, 1355, from John, Bishop of Dunkeld " Nobili viro Duncano, filio Andree de Atholia, et heredibus suis masculis terrarum de Aclulia;" and dying soon afterwards was succeeded by his eldest son, Robert de Atholia, Bailie of the Earldom of Athol. He appears in the Chamberlain Rolls of Scotland, 1358, thus—" Et nihil hie de exitibus Curiae vice comitatus, pro tempore computa- tionis quod cecidit, nisi de hiis, de quibus extitit, deforciamentum per Robertum, filium Dumcani, filium Andree de Atholia, super quod consulatur Rex." He married, firstly, one of the co-heirs of Sir John de Striveling of Glenesk, and had by her an only daughter, Jean, married to Alexander de Meyners of Fothergill. 50 THE ROBERTSONS OF KINDEACE.

He married, secondly, it has been stated, one of the co-heirs of Ferdill, situated in the Stormont, in Perthshire. He undoubtedly acquired one half of the lands of Ferdill, as there is a Crown " Charter for them—thus : Carta Roberti fil. Duncani de Atholia," &c, &c. —in the Printed Record of the Great Seal, page 28, No. 42, dated 24th May, 1363. He was succeeded by his son by the second wife, viz., Duncan (Crosda) de Atholia, who appears in the Rotuli Scotiae, Vol. II., page 277, where he is designed as " Duncanus de Atholia, dominus de Rannoch." He was a hostage in England for the ransom of King James I., and is mentioned in the same wray as above in the year 1432, in Rymers Foedera, Vol. IV., part 4, page 180. When a man of advanced years he granted, on 20th January, 1438, a charter for some lands to the Dean of Dunkeld, in which he was called " Dominus de Strowan." He married (according to Douglas's " Baronage of Scotland " a lady of the name of Graham) and died leaving issue, Robert, a very celebrated chief, progenitor of the barons of Strowan, chiefs of the Clan, and a second son, viz., Duncan, who became progenitor of the Robertsons of Inches, county Inverness. He settled as a merchant in Inverness during the reign of King James 1., and died leaving a son and heir, Robert, who carried on his father's business in Inverness, and being a successful merchant, became possessed of lands and houses in the neighbourhood of that town. He died, leaving a son and heir, John Robertson, the first of this branch of the Clan to assume the surname of Robertson. He granted a charter, 20th April, 1448, to William Michael, Burgess of Inverness, of a particate of land in " Doomsdale," Inverness, in which he is described as John, son and heir of Robert, son and heir of Duncan. John Robertson died in the reijm of Kin£ James III. He had issue—Laurence and William. The elder son, THE ROBERTSONS OF KINDEACE. 51

Laurence Robertson, purchased a slated house in Inverness from the Monastery there. Charter for the same granted to " Laurence Robertsone by Henry Dewar, pryor of the Monasterie and Convent of Inverness, with the consent of the remanent breitheren, of one raid of land in the head of the Bridge Street callit Sklaet House," dated 20th July, 1517. He married, and died leaving issue, a son, John Robertson, Burgess of Inverness, served heir of his father in the reign of King James V. He died without issue, and was succeeded by his uncle, William Robertson, Burgess of Inverness, as shown by the " Service and Sasine in favour of William Robertson as heir to John Robertson, his nephew, son to Laurence, in roods, burgage lands, and houses, in Inverness and pertinents," 8th January, 1536. On the 18th October, 1522, there was an " Assedation by the Magistrates and Council of Inverness to William Robertson, Burgess of Inverness, of a timber shop appended to the Tolbooth." William Robertson married, and died leaving a son, John Robertson, Provost and Burgess of Inverness, a very strong and courageous man, hence he obtained the sobriquet of " Stalwart John." He acted as Lord Lovat's standard-bearer at the battle of Loch Lochy, 1544, fought between the Frasers and Macdonalds, and known to the Highlanders as " Blar-na- Leine " or the battle of the shirts. John Robertson was a successful merchant, and lived at a place still called " Robertson's Field," at Kinmylies, close to the Burgh. He married, firstly, a daughter of Hugh Rose of Kilravock, by whom he had issue,

William, the elder, progenitor of the Robertsons of Inches ; and Laurence, Burgess of Inverness, both living 1590. John Robertson—married, secondly, Janet Simpson, as shown by the following : " Instrument of resignation by John Robertson, Burgess of Inverness, to Janet Symmondson, for her life rent of 52 THE ROBERTSONS OF KINDEACE. a rude of land on the Bridge Street," 28th October, 1551, and a '' Charter by Janet Simpson in favour of John Robertson, her husband, and sasine of two roods of land in Doomsdale Street," 24th April, 1568, also, by an "Instrument of Sasine in favour of John Robertson and Janet Symondsone, his spouse, of the foresaid two roods in Demsdell," 6th April, 1570.

John Robertson, married and had issue. IV. A daughter married to a son of Lord Lovat. William Robertson the younger, Burgess of Inverness, was born before 1576. He carried on a good business in Inverness, and in 1615 purchased the lands of Urchany, county Nairn. In 1629 William Robertson purchased the lands, &c, of Kindeace, from which lands this branch of the family has since taken its title "of Kindeace." On 19th March, 1631, there was a charter under the Great Seal, to " Willielmo Robertson, burgen de Invernys, villae et terrarum de Easter Kindeace, &c, &c." He married Elspeth, daughter of the Rev. Thomas Howeson, minister of Inverness. The name of William Robertson of Kindeace appears in the Valuation Roll of the Sheriffdom of Inverness, including Ross, 1644, as a proprietor in the parishes of Kingscairn, Strath- hockel, Rosskeen, and Nonekill.

Copy of a letter from Charles Robertson, Esq. of Kindeace, to Raymond Tinne Berthon, Esq.:—

Kindeace, Delny, Ross-shire, N.B., 6th Nov., 1892. Dear Sir, —I am sorry I cannot give you all the information you want, but I have looked up Strowan's old old book and have found there some writing, either my grandfather's or great-grandfather's, on the margin of the writ of the family of Gilbert Robertson, II. of Kindeace. The printed part says he had three sons and two daughtei*s, thus: 1. William 2. Colin.

3. , and two daughters, Frances and Janet.

But the correction in the faded writing is different, and reads as follows : 1. William. 2. Colin. * 3. [and two daughters], Frances, "one daughter, Janet, who married, and had children—Gilbert, George, and others." I have copied the corrections, only adding quotation marks. You will see that it leaves Frances as the third son's name, though spelt with an " e." Frances is a woman's name generally. I think I can explain how George came to be put in by Burke. You mentioned 1838 as the date in which it first appears. I find from a document of my father's that he gave the name as George in 1828, and sent it to Mr Colburn, New Burlington Street. On what authority he gave the name as George, I do not know. Believe me, Yours very truly, (Signed) CHARLES ROBERTSON.

*Note. —The words "and two daughters" are obliterated in original. This proves that Francis was the third son, for, if there had been two daughters, the words quoted would not have been obliterated, and " one daughter " written in their stead. On the other hand, if there had been no child called Francis, the name "Frances" w juld have been obliterated at the same time as the werds "and two daughters." Therefore Francis was the third eon (72)

Extract from a letter dated 27th August, 1894, written to Mr A. M. Ross, Publisher, Dingwall:—

"Some considerable time ago I sent to a note to serve as the foundation of an introduction to his book. This told that the Douglases appeared in Ross-shire about the time that the Earl of Morton, Regent for Scotland, and a Douglas, claiming to be the representative of that great family, Avas beheaded. "This Earl favoured what was called the Reformed Church, as against the Roman Catholic or Jacobite party, who for a time got the upper hand. "The tradition—for if any documents exist, I know not of them —was common among descendants of Easter Ross Douglases in my early youth, that they were descended from some of the Eirl of Morton's followers, who fled there during his accusation and death. Manifestly they were possessed of some means or influence, for they immediately acquired land. "The Morton Douglas family have been Reformers and Whigs, as against the Jacobite faction of the families now represented by Home and Queensberry."

The value of this tradition cannot be ascertained, but it may be well to state that the arms, crest, and motto borne by the descendants of the Douglases of Mulderg are exactly the same as those borne by the Queensberry family, except that the wings in the crest are dove colour instead of or. — — —
