420 The Jen-dines of Applegirth, by C. T. Ramage, LL.D. 



NOTES. 



" Lady Margaret Jardine, widow of Sir Alexander Jardine of 

 Applegarth, and daughter of Douglas of Drumlanrig, married 

 2ndly, Sir David Thoris, Advocate of Innerkeithing ; and had 

 Sasines from 1671 to 1676, on the lands of Applegarth, &c, for 

 an annual rent of 2500 merks, during her lifetime. She was 

 wont, for a halfpenny, to carry people over on her shoulders, 

 across the Annan, near the Castle of Spedling ; and used to sit 

 there for this purpose, whenever there was a prospect of pas- 

 sengers. Her first husband died previous to 1695, and Alexan- 

 der, his son, succeeded. 



Alexander, the father of Sir Alexander, married Janet 

 Johnstone, widow of John Oarruthers of Rammerskailles, before 

 1651 ; and daughter of John Johnstone of Wamphray, by a 

 daughter of Montgomerie of Cockilbie. 



Sir John Jardine, brother to Sir Alexander, and son-in-law of 

 the said Margaret Douglas, married first the daughter of Lock- 

 hart of Carstairs, and secondly, the daughter of Commissary 

 Charteris of Dumfries. By his first wife he had Sir Alexander ; 

 and by his second wife, Sir William." (Charles Kirkpatrick 

 Sharpe's Notes). 



A Charter of Donation in the Dryburgh Chartulary, by Robert 

 de Maxwell, knight, Lord of Caerlaveroek, to the Monastery of 

 Dryburgh, of that land in West Pencaitland, which John Man- 

 telet, (Maitland) Lord of Thyrillstane, held of him, is signed 

 along with others, by " Umfrido Jardyn." This charter is 

 without date, but thought to be about 1400. The above Sir R. 

 Maxwell succeeded his father 1373, and died 1409. It was he 

 who rebuilt Caerlaveroek Castle. 



In Douglas's Baronage (p. 303), this Umphryd Jardine is 

 referred to, where it is said that " Elizabeth, daughter and heir- 

 ess of Alexander Gordon, brother of U. Jerdyn of Applegarth, 

 was married to Sir William Boswell, 1395; who got with her 

 the lands of Craigincat, Easter and Wester Balglillys in the con- 

 stabulary of Kinghorn and shire of Fife." 



I have not investigated the origin of the family of Jardine, but 

 the Umfryd here referred to, is the earliest I have seen, though 

 I have no doubt they were settled in Dumfriesshire, at a much 

 earlier period. 



In an Instrument of Sasine of " Mattheo de Johnstone, in the 

 20 Merklands of Padinane, called Wisterraw, county of Lanark- 

 shire, upon a charter from the crown, dated 19th Nov,, 1455," 

 one of the witnesses is William Jardine, Rector of Applegarth. 



On the 15th January, 1503, John Weyr, agent for Alexander 

 Jardin, grandson and heir apparent of John Jardin of Applegirth, 

 compeared in the chapter-house of the church of Glasgow, before 

 the commissaries of the right reverend Robert, Archbishop of
