TH E following Genealogical History of his ancestors from the pe n of SI R WI L L I AM

M U RE , was lately found in the castle of

Ro wallan , together with a variety of his poetical manuscripts , amongst a miscellane ous collection of old family papers . It is , probably, notwithstanding the eminent an ti uit q y, rank , and high alliance of the family it to which refers , the only detailed account of them which has ever appeared .

ff n In o ering, then , the present publicatio m to the attention of the curious , to who only we expect it will be mainly interesting, a little further apology, it is trusted , will p it pear necessary . Though may seem very l doubtfu , whether the Author ever contem vi

plated the publication of this history, yet, it certainly bears such ample testimony of

u his ed cation , and literary acquirements , as may probably make it Vie with any similar composition of that, or any prior time . The t sta e of our public history and records , in e down to the time qu stion , forbids the expectation of historical exactness in the

n arrative b ut w h e r more early parts of the r ever errors have been observed , they have , a s . far as possible , been corrected

As illustrative , however, of former man ners and usages , productions of this nature m c ust, no doubt, ever derive their hief value ; yet, the origin and progress of the f amily, which has here been delineated , through the various fortunes and changes evolved by the long period of well nigh six hundred years , may not be found altogether without a m ore special claim on the regard of even the most general reader ; whilst it cannot fail to afford matter of far deeper i n t e re s t o t o the contemplation of the moralist -i n their struggles thro ugh many a dismal v ii

b day of lawless turbulence and loodshed , before the blessings of civilization and con

s n equent security, had re dered existence

n the useful , or society i teresting ; and place w they were after ards , through a long period

of the history of their country, destined to

o ccupy . The fortune of Elizabeth , whose virtu es and beauty recommended her t o the

h has n eir of theacrown , the grace of fictio with the re lity of truth , and every reader will rejoice that time has n o w rem o ved the mistakes that posterity had fallen into re

gardin g her marriage . The reader will pro bably lament the shortness of the graphic ” sketch of the w ais to r Rud - like many

other ancient Scottish families , their history bears testimony to the fatal days of Flodde n and Pinkie . To a number of readers , the notices which have been reco vered of the pious and poetic Sir William , our Author, it is hoped , may not be less interesting ; ff and the su erings of his posterity, during d the troubles of the Church of Scotlan , are worthy of record . pains have been spared to the every, even the minutest peculiarity of u original man script ; the exact orthography,

e xc e contractions, and, with scarcely any p tion , even the punctuation , have all been scrupulously retained . h The Editor acknowledges , wit gratitude, the kind assistance which he has received

TH E Account of the Family of Ro wallan

SI R thus closing with the death of WILLIAM,

i t n o w the author, seems requisite to add a

n co tinuation to the present period . This, — with some pains, has been attempted but, considering the interesting portion o f time

n o w which succeeds, and the part the family of Ro wallan took i n the affairs of that trou bled period, the notices which we have been able to collect regarding them , are certainly more scanty than could have been wished . Before proceeding with this part of the o acc unt, however, some additional notices of Sir William , last alluded to, seem pro perly to claim our attention . I n his early years he cultivated a taste for n poetry, and among his juve ile pieces, 92

the following Latin verses, on the death of f his grand ather occur .

s o o an ti uae fi de i ue r e c umbit Vir virtuti , h m q q , ual e s m ult os t e m e ra o s fe run t Q haud p n tra , Sim licitas o e t ris cae s p cui c rdi p ecula vitae , S o s s s s o s s r ine di idi , men ine fraude fuit, u h o c ae vo s e ro s us Q uae , q ia degeneri unt rara, p , h o c in di n m di n i Aevum g u g us ille adiit .

His manuscript poetry is considerable . Among the larger pieces is a translation of some books of V irgil ; a religious poem which he calls The joy of Tears , and another, The challenge and reply .

Several of his pieces have been published . ” In the Muses Welcome, a collection of poems and addresses made to King James,

i n 1 6 1 on his visiting Scotland 7, there is a poetical address to the King at Hamilton ,

l n written by Sir William Mure of Ro wala. 1 6028 In , he published a poetical translation ” of the celebrated Hecatombe Christiana,

Tro ch ri of Boyd of g , together with a small ” a s da origin l piece called D o o m e y . In 93

1 69 f 9, he published , The true Cruci ixe i for true Cathol ke s . 1 69 For some years after 9, he seems to have been employed on a version of the

Psalms , which was much wanted in Scotland

at that time . The old English version was not popular ; and the one executed by King

. o f M e n s trie James , and Sir W Alexander ,

w as s o disliked , that the Bishops would not ’ th e n press it upon Church . Ki g James version was not sanctioned by the Assem ff bly, and some expressions in it gave o ence

he e . . T to the people, g the sun was called

’ L or d o li ht The ale f g , and the moon , p

’ h n h L ady of t e ig t . i Though this version was rejected , st ll , many wished that the old one should be im

o r proved, a better one substituted in its

v place . Se eral gentlemen attempted parti c ular psalms ; b u t a version ofthe whole was

Ro allan . w undertaken by Sir W Mure of , which he seems to have finished in 1 68 9.

Principal Baillie , who attended the West minster Assembly, as a Commissioner from 94

the Church of Scotland, in a letter, dated

1 s t 1 64 4 at London , January , , says , I

’ Ro wallan s wish I had Psalter here, for I ’ like it better than any I have yet seen .

It does not, however, appear that Sir William ’ s version was transmitted to the

’ re c o m Assembly ; Mr . Rous s , which was

mended by the English Parliament, was

finally adopted , and has ever since been used in Scotland ; but the committee appointed to ’ revise Mr . Rous s version , were instructed to avail themselves of the help of Rowal l ’ * an s . The attention of Sir William was not e n

tirel y devoted to literary pursuits , he took his share i n the burden of the duties of

civil life, being a member of the parliament 1 64 8 held at Edinburgh , June , and of the m ’ ff co mittee of Warre , for the sheri dom 1 64 4 L of Air in . I

As stated in the conclusion of the pre

u ceding account, Sir William M re, our author and poet, was succeeded by his eld est son ,

SI R R Ro wallan WILLIAM MU E of , in the 5 end of the year 1 6 7.

1 3 1 658 Re April , , he was Served and

o f M r G mate friend the celebrated . uthrie,

n i first minister ofFe w ck . It is said that con v en ticle s * were held in the house of Rowal lan during his time . As a proof that such

o w Row allan That c nventicles ere held near , see A pp . n ote H . 96

tw o - meetings were held there, kirk stools are the still shown in the garret, most commo

n w hic lr is dio s apartment in the house , and

’ called to this day the auld kirk . Whether

on this account or not, it is certain that . he suffered much during the troubles of the

Church of Scotland . He was imprisoned

1 665 n in , in the castle of Stirli g, together with the lairds of Cu n n in ghamh e ad and

- Nether pollock . When other gentlemen

u were liberated pon the bond of peace, in 1 668 , these three were still retained in con

fi n e me n t u n , but in the year following, po G the removal of Bishop Burnet, from las

ow t g , they presented a peti ion for release

to Lauderdale , the commissioner, which — d Wodr ow v ol . . . 3 1 6. was grante , ii p 1 68 3 In , he again fell under the suspicion

w as of the court, and apprehended , together

t . wi h his eldest son , in London They were sent from London to Edinburgh , and com m itte d prisoners to the tolbooth . In the

s o n same year his second , John , was taken prisoner, and carried to Edinburgh . In a

98

He was entered a student at the univer

s it G 1 660. y of lasgow, in His share in the afflictions of his father has been already noticed . This did not shake his attach m uff ent to the church for which he s ered . His name frequently occurs in the records

m n of the parish of Kilmarnock . He is e tio n e d in 1 6 5 there, for the last time, 9 , In a commission to defend a process of trans lation before the Synod . 1 6 0 He married about 7 , Dame Mary
