 and Nisbet^*^'-* offers the remark that Adam de Lummisdcn

 Lumsden, Roger de Lumsden, and Rogei' de Wester Lumsden,

In a Charter in 1320 the Seal of Roger de Lumsden is 

 attached for William Fleming of Ayton.^^^ Roger of Easter 

 Lumsden is a witness to a Charter in 1328.'i3 



Roger is succeeded after 1328 or 1329 by his brother 

 Gilbert, who, Avith his son Gilbert, are witnesses to several
