ANDREW HERON AND HIS IKINSFOLK. AN | 
which seems so to have shaken the evidence that the farmer 
was acquitted. While Willie was thus laudibly engaged in 
getting an innocent man off, his wife stole the hood off the 
judge’s gown, for which little offence she was deported to 
New England, from whence she never returned. 
I cannot end this brief account of my ancestor without a 
reference to the labours and indefatigable industry of my 
cousin, the late Julian Rogers, without whose researches the 
writing of this paper could never have been accomplished. 
For the last twenty years of his life he had made it his hobby 
to investigate all matters connected with our family, and par- 
ticularly with the Herons. His discovery of the report of the 
lawsuit in the Library of Lincoln’s Inn enabled him to com- 
plete that part of our ancestry, supported by the family docu- 
ments, in the discovery of which I had had my modest share.

13 A part of Camlodane certainly belonged to the Herons, but 
there does not appear to be any evidence to show that Machermore 
also belonged to them. Prior to 1487, Thomas Heron, the first 
recorded member of the family, owned Camlodane-Maklurg as well 
as Kirrouchtrie (R.M.S., 1424/1513-1702). Machermore, which 
must not be confounded with a four merkland of that name near 
Glenluce, belonging to the M‘Kies, was owned by the family of 
M‘Dowall in 1490, and probably earlier. There is nothing to show 
that Machermore ever formed part of Kirrouchtrie, as suggested 
by M‘Kerle.
