Preface.

AS stated in my Heraldry of the Douglases, the similarity of the Arms borne by that family and by the Murrays suggests a common origin. The Douglases bore: Argent, on a chief azure three stars of the field (Plate II., fig. i) ; and the Murrays of Bothwell bore : Azure, three stars argent.

The name of Murray is derived from their first lands in Moray, the owner being styled " de Moravia," which gradually became Moray or Murray. The families of Bothwell and Abercairny were Morays, and all the others Murrays.

The different families of Moray or Murray are apparently all descended from the Morays of Bothwell, but the connecting links are now lost, and the origin of each family is a matter of conjecture or dispute. The families resemble so many cords or lines originally falling from a single knot ; but the connecting link or knot has been cut off, so that each line is now separate from the others.

ARMORIAL BEARINGS.

The Morays OF Bothwell bore : Azure, three stars argent, and when that Lordship passed to the Douglases a Royal tressure was added, as can be seen on the Garter Plate of James, ninth Earl of Douglas, 1461.

The Earls of Sutherland and their cadets, all descended from Moray of Bothwell, "differenced" their Arms by changing the field to gules and the stars to or.

The Murrays of Atholl originally bore : Three stars with a label of three points in chief After the marriage of Sir William Murray in 1284 with Ada, daughter of Sir Malise, Steward of Strathearn, a chevron was added between the stars — the Arms of the Earldom of Strathearn being Or, two chevrons gules. The Seal of Sir William Murray in 1501 shows that this family had then adopted the Arms of Moray of Bothwell, as shown on the ninth Earl of Douglas' Garter Plate of 1461 : Azure, three stars argent within a double tressure flory-counter-fiory or.

The Viscounts Stormont, cadets of Atholl, adopted as their difference a cross patty between the stars, the cross being derived from the Arms of Barclay of Kippo, whose heiress married the first of these Murrays.

vi PREFACE

The Murrays of Ochtertyre have not assumed the double tressure, but have the curious difference of a cross argent surmounted by a saltire gules between the stars.

The Earl of Dysart has an Imperial crown proper between the stars.

The MURRAYS OF Touchadam and Polmaise had adopted the double tressure round the stars as early as 1463, as \s shown by the Seal of Sir William Murray, so that they were only two years, at most, later than the Earl of Douglas in doing so.

The MORAYS OF Abercairny quartered the Moray Arms and double tressure with the Arms of Strathearn, but originally they apparently bore a chevron between the stars.

The MURRAYS OF FALAHILL adopted the difference borne by the Douglases : Argent, on a chief azure three stars of the field, but on the field they added a hunting horn to show descent from the Forresters.

The second family of Blackbarony and the Murrays of Elibank, cadets of Falahill, changed the hunting horn into a fetterlock to show descent from the Lockharts.

The MURRAYS OF COCKPOOL had adopted the double tressure round the stars as early as 1477; in 1542 they had apparently adopted the common Border Arms founded on those of the Bruces : A saltire and chief, the latter charged with the three stars; and in 16 1 2 had reverted to their original Arms.

The original family of Blackbarony began with Arms similar to those borne at first by Murray of Atholl, namely, Three stars with a label in chief, but the label has five points in place of three as borne by the Atholl family.

It will be seen from the above that the most of the families of Murray have, sooner or later, added the Royal tressure round their original stars.

The principal authority is given at the commencement of each family, but additions and corrections have been made where considered necessary.

To save space I have, as usual, omitted courtesy titles — " His Grace," " Lord," " Lady," etc. — and also, as before, I have recorded the males alone.

My sincere thanks are due to Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King-of- Arms ; to Mr F. J. Grant, Lyon Depute ; and Mr W. Rae Macdonald, Albany Herald, for much assistance kindly given me.

Principal Authority — Scots Peerage.

THE first known ancestor of this family was Freskin, who accompanied King David I. to suppress an insurrection in the North in 1130, and was granted lands in Moray, which districts, under the forms of Moray or Murray, gave a surname to his descendants.

CHAPTER II.

The Murrays of Atholl.

Principal Authority — Scots Peerage.

THE most probable origin of this family is given in the Scots Peerage as follows : On referring to No. 86 of this work, it will be seen that John Murray, elder son of Sir Malcolm Murray, settled about 1284 the lands of Aldie on his younger brother, William. According to the charters of Inchaffray, Gilbert, Earl of Strathearn, granted the lands of Aldie to his daughter, Matilda, on her marriage with Malcolm, Earl of Fife, who died about 1228. Sir Robert Douglas in his Peerage says that Walter Moray of Bothwell (No. 6 of this book) married a daughter of the Earl of Fife ; but the Scots Peerage says that it was Walter's father — Sir William Moray of Bothwell (No. 5), — died before 1253, who married a daughter of Malcolm, Earl of Fife. If these statements are correct, the lands of Aldie came from the Earl of Strathearn to his daughter and her husband, Malcolm, Earl of Fife. The lands then passed to their daughter, who married Sir William Moray of Bothwell (No. 5), and from them to their son, Sir Malcolm Murray (No. 86), probably named after the Earl of Fife, and who was the first of the Atholl family. According to this, Sir Malcolm Murray was second son of Sir William Moray (No. 5).

The earlier writers thought that Sir Malcolm Murray (No. 86) was a son of a John Moray, Sheriff of Perth, supposed to be a son of Hugh Moray of Duffus (No. 2, «), but there is no evidence to support this view, and as there were two, if not three, John Morays living at that time, this suggested origin has been abandoned.

The head of these Murrays is the seventh and present Duke of Atholl, and the cadets became Earls of Dunmore, Lords Nairne, Viscounts Stormont, Earls of Mansfield, and Earls of Dysart. The other cadets were the Baronets of Glendoick, the Murrays of Ayton, Pitcaithly, Lintrose, Dollary, Arbenie, Pitcullen, Dollerie, Woodend, Strowan, and Tippermore.

(86) Sir Malcolm Murray or de Moravia died before 1289. He was witness to a charter granted by Malise, Earl of Strathearn, between 1251 and 1263. He was Sheriff of Perth about 1276, and is said to have married the daughter and heiress of Gilbert of Gask, with whom he got that property. He had two sons : —

(a) John Murray, who gave his lands of Culnacloich and Ruthtrelan in Strathbogie about 1284 and the lands of Aldie to his brother, William.

CHAPTER V.

The Murrays of Falahill.

Principal Authority — Scots Peerage.

AS the first recorded ancestor of this family belonged to Peeblesshire, it is probable that the Murrays of Falahill and Cockpool had a common origin. From Falahill descended the Murrays of Philiphaugh, Deuchar, Priestfield, the Baronets of Melgund, Romanno, the Baronets of Stanhope, Broughton in Peeblesshire, Cardon, the later Murrays, Baronets of Blackbarony, Cringletie, Henderland, Lords Elibank, and the Baronets of Dunerne.

As regards the present family of Blackbarony and its cadets, it was generally believed that they were descended from the original Murrays of Blackbarony, but the Scots Peerage proves that the original family sold Blackbarony to a John Murray in 1507, who appears on record as assignee of the executors of William Murray in Sundhope, his father's brother. William Murray in Sundhope was undoubtedly the son of John Murray of Falahill (No. 274), so John Murray, who purchased Black- barony, and all his descendants must belong to Falahill also.

(270) Archibald de Moravia, in Peeblesshire, died before 1321. He signed

the Ragman Roll 1296. He was father of: —

(a) Malcolm, who also signed 1296.

(273) Patrick Murray of Falahill, living 141 3, father of : —

(274) John Murray of Falahill, died before 20th February 1477. He was

probably the "outlaw Murray" of the Border ballad (see Genealogist, New Series, Vol. XII., p. 217). On 20th July 1461 he had a charter of the lands of Philiphaugh, in Selkirkshire, and left issue : —

(a) Patrick (No. 275).

(b) Alexander Murray, Canon of Moray, died between 17th

September 1484 and 1st March 1485.
