Notes |
- The direct line of this family is here unavoidable broken, owing to the loss of many ancient charters and muniments which the civil commotions, and the distracted state of that kingdom, occasioned; but we have been enabled, from the family evidences, to trace their descent during the latter three hundred years; and from the first charter preserved in their archives, we learn that K. James II. Made a grant to Uchtred Knox of Ranfurley (upon his resignation of the same) of the lands of Ranfurley and the whole estate of the family, to be held from the King; - and from another charter of K. James III.
