Of Andrew Crichton, Roger Charteris, John Wrycht, 
John Crichton of Burngranis, and John Paterson we know

At Fol. 3 of our Sheriff Court Book there is a notice of an 
action between the laird of Kirkmichael and ‘* ye Glencorss.”’ 
This notice is explained by certain entries belonging to the 
year 1537 in the ‘‘ Acta Dominorum Concilii,’’!°8 which refers 
to an action by John and Archibald Glencors, tenants of the 
land of Glendenholme against John Glencors of that Ik and 
the laird of Kirkmichael in order to ascertain who it was of 
the two last-mentioned who was legally entitled to the rents. 
At Fol. 4 Sir Thomas Grierson is mentioned. He was 
minister of Penpont, and brother of Gilbert Grierson in 
Camling. 
At Fol. 5 Matthew Gledstanis of Kelwod and Margaret 
Jardyng, lady of Kelwod, are mentioned. This family is fully 
dealt with by Mr R. C. Reid in the notes to his recent edition
