CoRRiES OF Annandale. 89 



to remain undisturbed, ist April, 1310, William Marmyun 

 had a grant in fee of the lands of Levinton, Co. Cumberland, 

 " late of Walter de Curry, a rebel " (Pat. Rolls, 1307-1313, 

 p. 221). But the following- year, 3rd December, 131 1, an 

 order was passed to restore his lands to Walter de Curry, 

 erroneously said to have been with the Scottish rebels (Close 

 Rolls, 1307-1313, p. 387). In what way Walter made his 

 peace on this occasion is difficult to say. Certainly, if he was 

 not acting with the " Scottish rebels " at this time, he did 

 so very soon after, and in 13 15 he was knighted by Robert 

 Bruce at the Siege of Carlisle (Bain's Doc'ts., iii., 101). At 

 the same time Richard de Kirkbridge, Walter's cousin, 

 petitions for Walter's lands in Kirkandrews and Kirklevinton, 

 as said Walter is with the King's enemies (ibid.). Until 1342, 

 or later, Sir Walter of Corry is repeatedly mentioned in the 

 public records (Pat. Rolls, passim), and it is evident that he 

 adhered to the Scottish side, and lost his Cumberland lands. 

 It is possible, however, that some of the family remained in 

 Cumberland, since, in 1377, Adam of Corry is charged with 

 breaking the park and killing the deer of Roger de Clifford 

 in Co. Westmoreland (Pat. Rolls, 1377-1381, p. 44), and in 

 1390 Thomas de Clifford, lord of Westmoreland, grants for 

 life to John de Crackenthorpe the office of Constable of his 

 castle of Burgh-on-Sands, as held by Adam of Corry (ibid., 

 1 388- 1 392, p. 254). 



In 1297 a certain William Curry, Esq., captured at the 

 battle of Dunbar, had allowance for his maintenance as a 

 prisoner at Nottingham Castle (Close Rolls, 1 296-1302, p. 34), 

 and was to have his lands in Scotland restored to him (Rot. 

 Scotice, i., 49a). In 1299 Sir John of Curry, a Scottish 

 Knight, was a prisoner in England (ibid., p. 258). Whether 

 these persons were of the Annandale family it is difficult to 

 decide. A branch of the family, in which Adam is the dis- 

 tinctive name, was for a number of years connected with 

 Lochmaben. 29th March, 1329, Adam of Corry witnesses a 

 charter of Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, and lord of 

 Annandale, granting permission to William of Carlyle to 

 enclose the park of Kinmont (Buc, 42), and, 12th December, 

 1332, protection for one year is granted to Adam of Corry and
