[596] In the edit. 1621, this name is omitted. George Corrie of
Kelwood was served heir of his father, Thomas Corrie of Kelwood, "qui
obiit sub Majestatis vexillo in bello de Fausyde," 25th October 1547.
(Retours, Ayr, No. 2.) He was alive in December 1580. (Pitcairn's
Crim. Trials, vol. i. p. 89.)
[597] John Schaw of Haly, near Largs, in Ayrshire.
[598] Andrew Hamilton of Lethame, in Lanarkshire. He was Captain of
the Castle of Dumbarton in 1546. He went to France on a mission in
1550, and had a charter under the Great Seal of the lands of
Drumcross, in the county of Linlithgow in 1552. He was at the Raid of
Stirling in 1571, and died before 1585. (Anderson's House of Hamilton,
pp. 320, 469.)
[599] Alexander Earl of Glencairn: see vol. i. p. 72. He died in the
year 1574. (Register of Confirmed Testaments.)
[600] Andrew, second Lord Stewart, of Ochiltree or Uchiltree, in
Ayrshire. He succeeded to the title in 1548, and survived till near
the close of the 16th century.
[601] Edward Lord Crichton of Sanquhar, ancestor of the Earls of
Dumfries (now represented by the Marquis of Bute.) He died 23d May
1569, and was succeeded by "his son and air, Robert, now Lord
Creichton," who was then a minor. (Register of Confirmed Testaments,
8th March 1573-4.)
[602] Sir James Sandilands, Lord St. John, and afterwards Lord
Torphichen: see vol. i. p. 301, vol. ii. p. 125.
[603] William fifth Lord Hay of Yester, was served heir of his father
in 1559. He died in August 1576.

[605] William Cunningham of Cunninghamhead, in Ayrshire. He died in
January 1575-6. (Register of Confirmed Testaments, 17th April 1577.)
[606] In edit. 1621, "James Maxwell." As John sixth Lord Maxwell was a
minor at his father's death in 1552, and was not served heir till May
1569, it was no doubt Sir John Maxwell of Terreglis, (who became Lord
Herries in 1567,) whose signature was attached to the Book of
Discipline.
[607] George Fenton of Fenton was probably succeeded by "John Fenton
of that Ilk," to whom the three daughters of Patrick Quhitlaw of
Quhitlaw were served heirs-portioners of their grand-uncle (_abavus_),
30th March 1586. (Retours, Haddington, Nos. 399, 400, 401.)--In MS.
1566, the name is made "George Seton." As Lord Seaton was the head of
the family, there could be no Seaton of that Ilk; and George fifth
Lord Seaton never joined the Reformers.
[608] Sir John Gordon of Lochinvar, in Kirkcudbrightshire, the
ancestor of the Earls of Kenmure. In 1555, he was appointed Justiciary
of the Lordship of Galloway. He survived till the year 1604. (Douglas
and Wood's Peerage, vol. ii. p. 25.)
