    THE BALFOURS OF PILRIG A HISTORY FOR THE FAMILY, BY BARBARA BALFOUR-MELVILLE OF PILRIG PILRIO House. EDINBURGH WILLIAM BROWN, 5 CASTLE STREET 1907 Edinburgh: T. and A. Co::-;sTABLE, Printers to His Majesty DEDICATED TO THE DEAR MEMORY OF A. B.-M. vVHO FIRST PLANNED THIS HISTORY PREFACE Years ago ,ny fat her and nzother made researches among the scattered branches of the family z"n order to compile a record of all who claimed descent from 'The pi"rst Laird.' In those days these researches resulted in apparently inter- 1ninable sheets of paper, wh£ch for purposes of study used to be spread out on the floor. They were covered with neatly written names wh-ich represented, as far as could be known, the descendants of the sixteen children of James Balfour. Perhaps those who helped them to fill -in this tale of descen­ dants may now be glad to learn what we know of the common ancestors. It is in this hope that I have tried to piece together all the £nformation which my fat her and mother sought out, added to what f amity records are contained in the Piing archives themselves. It has been a pleasant task, in the course of which all the help I have asked for from the members of the family has been cordially given. And it is with real gratitude that I acknowledge first that of my s-ister, and, w-ith much apprec£at£on, the -invaluable azd of my cousins, S£r James Balfour Paul, Walter Bla£k£e, and Graham Balfour, to whose expert advice, given ungrudg·ingly, th£s history owes nzuch of what accuracy and trustworthiness it may possess.

THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

  • The Wives of Sir James the Steward -391
    THE WIVES OF SIR JAMES THE STEWARD -391- THE WIVES OF SIR JAMES THE STEWARD (d.1309) by Andrew B W MacEwen1 ABSTRACT This paper rehabilitates the traditional year of Sir James the Steward’s birth, names his first two wives, explains the late date of his third marriage to Giles de Burgh, and provides information about their four known children. It posits a double marriage alliance between the Stewarts and Comyns about 1240, clarifies the date of birth of Robert II, and establishes the circumstances of his mother’s death in 1317. It incidentally brings forward some overlooked information on the Muschamp family and shows when Sir William, earl of Mar, actually died. Lastly it draws together what little is known concerning Sir Nicholas Campbell (d.1305), whose representation passed to the Lochawe branch. Foundations (2011) 3 (5): 391-398 © Copyright FMG and the author Sir James, fifth hereditary Steward of Scotland (d. 16 July 1309), who succeeded his father Sir Alexander2 in 1281 or 1282, is traditionally said to have been born in 1243. Based on the late date of his marriage to Giles de Burgh,3 apparently in 1296, Barrow had suggested as early as 1965 that he was actually born later, perhaps in 1253, the year after his father’s pilgrimage to Compostella. In 1985 Barrow and Royan argued that “James was born even later than that, perhaps around 1260,” at the same time shifting “the likely date of birth of his younger brother John from Nisbet’s ‘1246’ to about 1263.” They concluded, “Although the precise date of James’s birth must remain a matter

JOHNSTON, LIMITED EDINBURGH AND LONDON MCM V 9 ! — Preface. THE JOHNSTONS are often referred to as the "gentle" Johnstons, and in Border ballad, entitled "The Lads of Wamphray," we find the Galliard, the " after stealing Sim Crichton's winsom dun," calling an invitation : " Now Simmy, Simmy of the side, Come out and see a Johnston ride Here's the bonniest horse in a' Nithside, And a gentle Johnston aboon his hide." From this we may gather that the term " gentle " is derived from a long pedigree, and not from the ancient manners of the race. Their past history makes lively reading ; the common foe across the Border was always an outlet for superfluous energy ; the long and tragic feud with the Maxwells kept them busy ; and when these excitements failed them, they had little wars amongst themselves to prevent their swords rusting in the scabbards.

  • The Court of the Lord Lyon
    CLAN MACRAE SOCIETY O F C A N A D A ONLINE THE COURT OF THE LOR D L Y O N The Court of the Lord Lyon All heraldry in Scotland is controlled by the Court of the Lord Lyon King of Arms, commonly known as the Lyon Court, and located at New Register House in Edinburgh. The origins of the Lyon Court are literally lost in the mists of time as the office of Lord Lyon incorporates that of the Royal Sennachie or Bard whose duty it was to proclaim the lineage and deeds of the ancestors of the King. From this Celtic start, the position has developed into a judicial one, with the Lord Lyon sitting as a judge on armorial matters. Older medieval heraldry in Scotland is extensive, but poorly documented, which is hardly surprising given the course of Scottish history. Certainly, it can be shown that heraldry existed by the last quarter of the twelfth century, but records of heraldry from the time before the War of Independence went south with King Edward and were like as not lost, whilst other early records appear to have been treated very much as the personal property of the heralds and have thus been lost. Better evidence exists from slightly later periods and this shows that the arms of most of the great families of Scotland, and some which were not so great, had certainly settled down by the fourteenth century, as can be seen from surviving armorial rolls which show Scottish heraldry. The earliest surviving such roll that the author knows of is the Balliol Roll which was the property of the late Sir Anthony Wagner and which is believed to be an English manuscript of the 1330s.

"The Ruddimans" (for private circulation). 2. "Scottish Heraldry Made Easy." 3. "The Heraldry of the Johnstons." DEDICATED BY PERMISSION TO THE STEWART SOCIETY. Introduction. THE name of Stewart is derived from the high office held by the earlier members of the family—namely, that of High Stewart of Scotland—and owing to the long connection of Scotland and France several members of the family went to the latter country. In the French alphabet there is no "w," and so " u " replaced it, the name thus becoming " Steuart," and as the " e " was then superfluous it was dropped, and the name was shortened into " Stuart." A branch of the family took the name of Menteth, which later became Menteith, Monteith, and Menteath. As regards the Armorial Bearings, the principal charge is the fess chequy or bend chequy —that is, a belt across the shield composed of rows, usually three, of squares, alternately blue and silver in the case of the Stewarts, and black and silver in that of the Menteths.

McLeod UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LIBRARIES 1979 PRINTED IN LAWRENCE, KANSAS, U.S.A, BY THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRINTING SERVICE To Helen and Don CONTENTS PREFACE « LIBRARY SYMBOLS XV ABBREVIATIONS XV THE CHECKLIST 1 BIOGRAPHIES 154 CHRONOLOGICAL INDEX 210 VII PREFACE For some years we have been interested in various aspects of a bibliography of works published during the reign of Queen Anne, and in particular in a working checklist of Anglo-Scottish materials from the conclusion of Wing's Short-Title Catalogue, 164-1-1700 to Anne's death in the late summer of 1714. We originally became interested in the union of 1707, and the vast quantity of pamphlets and other printed materials which that union and its subsequent history provoked. Even a superficial examination revealed numerous works in almost every major repository in the United States and in Great Britain; there had never been a bibliographical survey of such works and much confusion existed in contemporary as well as in later histories as to their number and content. Since some major and many more minor figures contributed writings to the Anglo-Scottish debate, both the literary and the political historian face controversy and disagreement in handling Daniel Defoe, Charles Leslie, An• drew Fletcher, George Ridpath, James Hodges, and others. Basically, this checklist attempts to do nothing more than to clear a path for the historian who seeks to write a history of the union in any or all of its many aspects, and to facilitate the study of such men as Defoe and Ridpath.
