Notes for PATRICK McILVANE from Kimberly Egan:
PATRICK MOILVANE s ucceeded his father, Gilbert, October 25, 1547, and
became Laird of Grimmet f or the years, 1547 to 1613. The estates at this
time included Upper Grimmet, Lower or Nether Grimmet and Attiquin. The
records of Frank McElvain list the children of Patrick and Isobel Kennedy
as John (m Jane Corry), Patrick (m Jan e Forrester 12-4-1615), Thomas,
David, and Alexander. Thomas was alive in 161 7 (Glasgow Commissariat).
PBGR mentions Patrick apprenticed to William Halibu rton in Edinburgh
(probably son of Patrick and Jane Forrester.) A decree of a bsolution on
record at Holyrood, February 1592, made by the Privy Council in favor of
John, Earl of Cassilis, names five Mcllvanes Patrick Mcllvene, elder of
Grimmet, John Mcllveanne of Grimmet, younger, John Mcllveanne of
Auchen harrie, Gilbert Mcllveane, Flesheur, in Maybole, and David
Mcllveane, Flesheu r in Maybole. The word 'Flesheur" refers to the
retailing of meats, or the fl esh of animals for food. Other records
indicate Alexander, whose will dated A ugust 1, 1620 made him a resident
of Ballantrae.
At Holyrood House, Edinburg h, 22 Feb. 1597, a document was signed by King
James VI confirming the lands as follows "The King as administrator,
etc., confirms to one Patrick Mcllivan e of Grumet (from whom Isobella
Kennedy, his wife, is conveyed a life estate) 21/2 measures of land in
the Manor of Lower Grumet and 1/2 measure of land a djacent, called
Willistoun (occupied by J.C. McClymouth) according to the old survey also
to John Mcllvane his son and heir apparent, and to his male heir s
whomsoever, 6 measures of land of Grumet, 6 1/2 measures of land of Lower
Grumet, and Attiquin, with their mansions, houses, fisheries and woods in
th e County of Carrik, called Air, excepting reserving to the said Patrick
the f ree use thereof and may redeem these lands from the said John by
paying five pounds at the parish church of Maybole on 40 days warning.
Held of Henry I, L ord and Seneschal of Scotland and Earl of Carrick. II
In the Register of Sasin es for 1601, Patrick's wife is referred to as
"Isobel Kennedy, Lady Grymett". This has given rise to all sorts of
speculation. Torrence and Allied Familie s declares that "Sir Patrick was
knighted for bravery on the field of battle" . What battle is not told. It
seems much more likely that Isobell brought the title of "Lady" with her.
One source says she was the widow of Kennedy of Kn ockdon. Since the use
of the title after the name denotes a widow, it seems f airly plain that
is all it means and had nothing to do with Patrick, no matte r how brave
he may have been.
These were particularly violent times in the h istory of Scotland. The
Reformation was in full swing, and the religious uphe aval is indicated by
the following
On May 19, 1553, Hugh and David Kennedy c ame with 100 followers with
jacks, spears, and guns to the Parish Kirk of Kir koswald and the College
Kirk of Maybole, and abused the sacrament of OHaly Ki rk", (The elements
of the Mass and other sacred items. ) The Earl of Carrick was quick to
respond, and a number of persons had to give caution (bond) afte rwards to
the extent of 3,000 Pounds for their future good Behavior.
At abou t the same time, one of the Kennedys living at Dunure tried to
seize the land s of Crossaugel Abbey. He tried to persuaDe the person
responsible for the De eds to turn them over by slowly roasting him over a
fire. He survived the roa sting, but did not turn over the deeds.
The Lairds of Grimmet were involved in a particularly bitter feud between
the Kennedy Earls of Cassilis
and their cousins, the Kennedy House of Bargany, which reached its most
intense fury be tween 1569 and 1602. It climaxed with the kidnapping of
the Countess of Cassi lis as she returned to Ayr from a visit in Galloway.
She was escorted as she travelled by various members of the family and ~1540 Isobella Kennedy REFN: 2485AN
REFN: P2486
Some say Isobel Kennedy Lady is not John's mother but that Patrick was
first married to Julianna Shaw. In the Register of Sasines for 1601,
P atrick's wife is referred to as "Isobel Kennedy, Lady Grymett". She may
have been the widow of Kennedy of Knockdon.
Notes for ISOBEL KENNEDY from Kimberly Egan:
Gaelic Name: Gaelic, CealU1aideach (Ugly head)
Motto: Avise la fin (Con sider the end)
Badge: Oak
Lands: Arrick, Ayrshire Lochaber and Skye
Origin o f Name:MacUalraig, Ceannaideach
Kennedy comes from the flattering Gaelic word cinneidigh, which in
ancient Ireland meant "ugly headed". Crossing the Irish Sea to settle in
an area of Dalriada now called Carrick in Ayrshire, they wer e probably
led by Gilbert, whose son Duncan became the 1st Earl of Carrick in the
11th century.
This name comes from the old Irish Gaelic, 'cinneidigh', l iterally
meaning 'ugly headed'. The family came from Ireland to Celtic Dalria da,
now Strathclyde, but are mainly associated with the district of Carrick
in Ayrshire. They claimed descent from the Earls of Carrick and kinship
to t he Bruce family, whom they supported against the Comyns and
throughout the Wa r of Independence.
John Kennedy of Dunure acquired lands at Cassillis about 13 60, and
witnessed a charter by Robert II in 1384. His son, Sir Gilbert, was o ne
of the hostages for the release of David II by the English in 1357.
Gilb ert's son, James, married Princess Mary, second daughter of Robert
III. Their son, another Gilbert, was created Lord Kennedy in about 1457
and was one of the six regents during the minority of James III. A
brother of the first Lord Kennedy, James Kennedy, was one of Scotland's
best-Ioved bishops. He served briefly as High Chancellor of Scotland and
was Bishop of Dunkeld, and later A rchbishop of St. Andrews. At St.
Andrews he founded St. Salvator's College in 1455.
Hugh Kennedy of Ardstinchar served as commander of the scots mercenary
troops who fought for Joan of Arc at the siege of Orleans; hence Joan
figur es on the arms of Kennedy of Bargany. Sir David, third Lord Kennedy
, was cre ated Earl of Cassillis in 1509 and died at Flodden in 1513. The
second Earl w as murdered in 1527. Gilbert, third Earl, was one of four
Scottish commission ers who were poisoned at Dieppe on their return from
the marriage of Mary , Q ueen of Scots to the Dauphin in 1558. He had
inherited his title at the age o f twelve when one of his first acts was
to sign, under duress, the death warr ant of Patrick Hamilton, the first
Scottish Protestant martyr. The fourth Ear l earned an infamous reputation
by 'roasting' Alan Stewart, Abbot of Crossrag uel, in the black vault of
Dunmore in order to obtain tracts of abbey land.
The sixth Earl of Cassillis, John, was Lord Justice General of Scotland
from 1649 to 1651. He was a zealous Protestant, as was his son, the
seventh Earl, and both were firm supporters of Parliament during the
civil war. The Justice General sat in Cromwell's House of Lords. They
suffered for their beliefs, b ut their estates remained largely intact.
When the eighth Earl died without h eirs their was a three-year court
dispute to determine the succession. The Ho use of Lords finally found in
favour of Sir Thomas Kennedy of Culzean in pref erence to William, Earl of
March and London. Sir Thomas's brother, David, an advocate, succeeded him
in 1775 as tenth Earl, and was an active improver. He commissioned the
architect Robert Adam to build the castle at Culzean, consi dered to be
Adam's masterpiece. ~1560 Patrick McIlvane REFN: 2486AN

Scottish nobleman active in Sco ttish and English politics and in the
unsuccessful negotiations for the relea se of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.
The third son of James Hamilton, 2nd earl o f Arran, he was given the
abbey of Arbroath in 1551. In politics he was large ly under the influence
of his unscrupulous younger brother Claud Hamilton, af terward (1587)
Baron Paisley (b. September 1543?–d. 1621/22). At first hostil e to Mary
Stuart, they later became her devoted partisans. Claud met Mary on her
escape from Lochleven and escorted her to Hamilton Palace. With others of
the Queen's party they were forfeited by the Parliament and sought their
r evenge on the regent Moray. Although the Hamiltons disavowed all
connection w ith Moray's murderer, James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh, he had
been provided w ith horseand weapons by the abbot of Arbroath, and it was
at Hamilton that he sought refuge after the deed. Their uncle, Archbishop
John Hamilton, was han ged at Stirling in 1571 for alleged complicity in
the murder of Mary's husban d, Lord Darnley, and is said to have admitted
that he was a party to the murd er of Moray.
At the pacification of Perth in 1573 the Hamiltons abandoned Mary 's
cause. On the uncertain evidence extracted from the assassin by torture,
the Hamiltons had been credited with a share in the murder of the regent
Len nox in 1571. In 1579 proceedings against them for these two crimes
were resum ed, and when they escaped to England their lands and titles
were seized by th eir enemies. John Hamilton soon dissociated himself from
the policy of his br other Claud, who continued to plot for Spanish
intervention on behalf of Mary until her death. (He later, in 1590, went
mad and was mad at his death.) Wit h other Scottish exiles, John crossed
the border in 1585 and marched on Stirl ing; he was admitted on November 4
and formally reconciled with James VI, wit h whom he was thenceforward on
the friendliest terms. He was created marquess of Hamilton, earl of
Arran, and Lord Aven in 1599. 1589 - 1625 James Hamilton 36 36 REFN: 4535AN

HAMILTON, JAMES, third marquis, and first duke of Hamilton, was bo rn in
the palace at Hamilton, on the 19th of June, 1606. His father, James,
marquis of Hamilton, was held in high favour by James I., who, amongst
other honours which he bestowed on him, created him earl of Cambridge, a
title whi ch was at an after period a fatal one to the unfortunate
nobleman who is the subject of this memoir.
Before the marquis had attained his fourteenth year, h is father, who was
then at St James’s court, sent for him for the purpose of betrothing him
to the lady Margaret Fielding, daughter to the earl of Denbigh , and niece
of the duke of Buckingham, and then only in the seventh year of h er age.
After this ceremony had taken place, the marquis was sent to Oxford, to
complete those studies which he had begun in Scotland, but which had been
seriously interrupted by his coming to court. He succeeded his father as
ma rquis of Hamilton, March 2, 1625, while as yet considerably under age.
An earl y and fond intimacy seems to have taken place between prince
Charles and the marquis. That it was sincere and abiding on the part of
the latter, the whole tenor of his life and his melancholy and tragical
death bear testimony. On C harles succeeding to the throne, one of his
first cares was to mark the estee m in which he held his young and noble
friend, by heaping upon him favours an d distinctions.
Soon after the coronation of the king, however, in which cerem ony he
carried the sword of state in the procession, he returned to Scotland for
the purpose of superintending in person his family affairs, which had
b een much deranged by the munificence of his father. The marquis, who
does not seem to have ever been much captivated by the life of a
courtier, soon becam e warmly attached to the quiet and retirement of the
country, and spent the g reater part of his time at Brodick castle, a
beautiful and romantic residence in the island of Arran.
The king, however, whose attachment to him seems to h ave gained strength
by his absence, wrote to him repeatedly, and with his own hand, in the
most pressing terms, to return. All these flattering invitation s he for
some time resisted, until his father-in-law, the earl of Denbigh, ca me
expressly to Scotland with another earnest request from the king that he
would come up to London, and at the same time, offering him the
appointment of master of the horse, then vacant by the death of the duke
of Buckingham.
The Most Noble James Hamilton, 1st Duke of Hamilton (June 19, 1606 - Mar
ch 9, 1649), Scottish nobleman, son of James Hamilton, 2nd Marquess of Ham
ilton, and of the Lady Anne Cunningham, daughter of the Earl of Glencair
n, was born on 19 June 1606. He was the Great-Grandson of Catherine, the i
llegitemite daughter of King James IV.
As the descendant and representative of James Hamilton, 1st earl of Arra
n, he was the heir to the throne of Scotland after the descendants of Jam
es VI. He married in his fourteenth year May Feilding, aged seven, daught
er of Sir William Feilding, later 1st Earl of Denbigh, and was educat
ed at Exeter College, Oxford, where he matriculated on 14 December 1621.
He succeeded to his father's titles on the latter's death in 1625. In 16
28 he became master of the horse and was also appointed gentleman of the b
edchamber and a privy councillor.
In 1631 Hamilton took over a force of 6,000 men to assist Gustavus Adolph
us in the Thirty Years' War in Germany. He guarded the fortresses on the O
der while Gustavus fought Tilly at the Battle of Breitenfeld, and afterwar
ds occupied Magdeburg, but his army was destroyed by disease and starvatio
n, and after the complete failure of the expedition Hamilton returned to E
ngland in September 1634.
He now became Charles I's chief adviser in Scottish affairs. In May 163
8, after the outbreak of the revolt against the English Prayer-Book, he w

William Douglas, 1st Earl of Selkirk (December 24, 1634 - April 18, 1694
), was the son of William Douglas, 1st Marquess of Douglas and his seco

re 4th Great-Grandchildren of James IV through two of his illegitimate dau
ghters.
Marriage
He married Anne Hamilton, Duchess of Hamilton on April 29, 1656. He was cr
eated Duke of Hamilton in 1660 on the petition of his wife, Anne Hamilto
n, suo jure Duchess of Hamilton (daughter of the 1st Duke), receiving al
so several of the other Hamilton peerages, but for his life only. The Hami
lton estates had been declared forfeit by Cromwell, and he himself had be
en fined £1000. He supported Lauderdale in the early stages of his Scotti
sh policy, in which he adopted a moderate attituDe towards the Presbyteria
ns, but the two were soon alienated, through the influence of the Counte
ss of Dysart, according to Gilbert Burnet, who spent much time at Hamilt
on Palace in arranging the Hamilton papers. With other Scottish noblemen w
ho resisted Lauderdale’s measures Hamilton was twice summoned to Lond
on to present his case at court, but without obtaining any result. He w
as dismissed from the Privy Council in 1676, and on a subsequent vis
it to London Charles refused to receive him. On the accession of Jam
es II he received numerous honours, but he was one of the first to enter i
nto communication with the Prince of Orange. He presided over the conventi
on of Edinburgh, summoned at his request, which offered the Scottish cro
wn to William and Mary in March 1689. His death took place at Holyro
od on April 18, 1694. His wife survived until April 17, 1716.

Notes for JOHN McILvANE:
JOHN MCILVANE succeeded his father, Patr ick, as Laird of Grimmet in 1613.
By marrying Jane Anne
Corry (also spelled Corrie), he brought Thomaston Castle and estate into
the family.
Thomas Corr y De Kelwood, had a charter from James IV dated 12, January
1507, for the lan ds of Thomaston and several others. He had a charter
from James V in 1517 for the lands of Newly and Clonlothry .Thomas Corry
, along with David Crawford of Keirs, was fined 100 pounds for not
entering Bargany for the slaughter of the young Laird of Attiquin in
1512. The lands of Thomaston passed eventually to George Corry of
Kelwood, who was served heir to his father, John, on 30 M arch, 1610. In
George's will, it states that his son having died, his daughte r Ann was
heiress. The heads of the family retained the title of Laird of Gri mmet
but always thereafter lived at Thomaston.
Anne Cony Mcllvane died in 16 32 and in her will she names daughters
"Margaret, Agnes, Helein and Mareonne Mcllvane, Bairnes lawfull to ye
defunct." Margaret married Sir Alexander Kenn edy, Earl of Culzean, whose
father was Gilbert Kennedy, Earl of Cassilis. The y had a daughter
Margaret Kennedy who married David Kennedy, Earl of Cassilli s. Agnes
married Morris Morrison, and Marion married Gilbert Edgar. There wer e
also at least two sons David (who may have predeceased his father), and
J ohn, who succeeded his father.
While the Kennedy feud ostensibly ended with th e death of Laird of
Bargany in 1601 at Lady Cross, afterwards the violence of the period
continued sporadically. The Mcllvanes did not completely avoid th e
conflicts, being drawn into them by friends and relatives. John Mcllvane
of Grimmet was witness to caution of Patrick Campbell Seotember12, 1607
and, In 1613, John, Earl of Cassilis complained against John Mcllveane
and others for riot in tile Baillery of Carrick-
"In November last, Jolm Kennedy of Blair quhan on the one part and Johnne
McIlvalle of the other part of Grinunet, hav ing raised a tumult in the
town of Maybole, the said Earl, as one of the memb ers of His Majesty's
counsel. ..had attempted to pacify the same and had orDe red the rioters
to disperse. The said Jolm Kennedy had obeyed most willingly, but George
Corry of Kelwood and David Corry , his brother had gone to the sa id
Johnne McIlvane and With the aid of 11 persons ...with swords, ...had
at tacked the Earl and his servants, and had driven them to their lodging,
had c ompelled the said Earl to barricaDe themselves. Moreover the said
Johnne McIl vane and George and David Corry had proudly refused to obey
the Earl's order that they should enter themselves in ward in Ivlaybole
Tolbooth til they had found caution; and the said George Corry had
proudly and avowedlie carried th e said Johnne McIlvane and his said
brother away with him from the Earl's bil lie-deputy. The said Johnne
Mcllvean being present the Lords find the defenDe rs have been guilty of a
very great insolence and misbehavioure ..and commit the said Johnne
McIlveane to the Tolbooth of Edinbllfgll, there to remain at his own
expense till further order...They refuse the charge against the said Jolm
Mcilvane for refusing to find caution, as the said Jolm has produced an
act of Court of the Bailery of Carrick showing that tlle said Jolm and
Geor ge Corrie of Kelwood as cautioner had acted themselves for Jolm
Kennedy of Bl airquhon and his household for 1,000 merks.O 1613, Regular
CouncilofDecreta.
