| "Kilravock Nynth" A Genealogical Deduction of the Family of Rose of Kilravock |
|---|
The last above-named Hugh deceasing (as said is) March 1 , 1517, was succeeded by his eldest sone, named Hugh, seventh of that name, and nynth person succeeding in the familie, being infeft in the Barronie of Kilravock and Geddes upon the 18th day of February 1520, which was the seventh year current of King James V. reign. He was maried to Agnes Urquhart, daughter to Mr. Alexander Urquhart of Cromartie, with whom he was contracted, being a child, by his father, in the year 1501 ; which contract was ratified in the year 1503, October 13, at Cullan ; and finally ratified and reiterated with Thomas Urquhart of Cromartie, her brother, upon the 3d of Februarie 1510, at the Kirk of Keith. Her dote or tocher was 400 merks, being half of 800 merks decerned to Cromartie for the spuilzie of his lands by M'Intosshe, with whom Kilravock concurred. It was contracted, that if the said Hugh, eldest sone to Kilravock, should have dyed before the mariage, that his next brother, John Rose, should have maried her upon the samen terms. That which Kilravock elder contracted to give his sone and the said Agnes Urquhart, was the milntown of Kilravock, except the miln and alehouse croft, with some pairt of Orchartown, which he obliedged himself to be worth to them ten pounds yearlie rent, or otherways to make it up to them. This is the first joynture I find given to anie in the familie ; and I suppose, that this Hugh Rose of Kilravock was maried with the said Agnes Urquhart, in the year of the last contract, I mean 1510, being seaven years before his fathers deceass.[1]
I find, that by this Agnes Urquhart he hade three sons, viz., Hugh, who succeeded him ; the second, Mr. William Rose, educated at St. Andrews, who lived single and unmarried, and reported to have turned hypochondriac, because his father would not give him Geddes for his patrimonie. His third sone was John Rose, afterwards of Wester Drakies, and Provost of Inverness. This John Rose married Margaret Vaus, daughter to the laird of Lochslin, and relict to Alexander Cuthbert, (predecessor to Cuthbert, afterwards of Easter Drakies,) slayn at the battell of Pinkie, 1547. By her he hade considerable soums of money. I conceave he carried her away before marriage, for he is indicted at Invernes before the Justice ; but she declared, that what passed was done by her own consent, upon which George Earle of Huntly took protestation, August 23, 1562. This John Rose, by the foresaid Margaret Vaus, was father to Master John Rose of Wester Drakies ; which Mr. John, by Stewart, daughter to Stewart of Culcouie, was father to Mr. John Rose of Wester Drakies, and afterwards of Pittendrich, and of James Rose of Markinsh, Robert Rose, Provost of Invernes, and William Rose, his youngest son.
Master John Rose, his eldest son, in his youth, was a person of great hops. He first maried a daughter of Lindsay, Bishop of Ross, by whom he hade a daughter. Next he maried Margaret Douglas, heretrix of Pittendrich. In which last marriage ther was a daughter, named Katherine, maried to Sir James Strachan of Thorntown.
This Mr. John Rose had a verie competent fortune of his own ; but the difficulties upon his ladies patrimoniall fortune have undone both.
The second brother was James Rose of Markinsh, Provost of Innernes, father to Alexander Rose, one of the present magistrats of that burgh.
The third brother was Robert Rose, Provost of Innerness, a frugall prudentiall persone, who dyed March 23, 1679. This Robert was father to William Rose, now of Markinsh, and to Mr. John Rose, who dyed a youth of good hops, October 31, 1666, and of Robert and Mr. David Roses, yet liveing.
The fourth brother was William, father to Robert Rose, citizen of Innernes, yet liveing in good accompt.
This Hugh Rose of Kilravock, by Agnes Urquhart, hade nyne daughters.[2]
The eldest was maried to Strachan, Laird of Culloddin, who, leaving only daughters heirs-portioners, M'Intosshe gott from them the right of their father's interest, paying some portion to each of their husbands. The second maried to Cuthbert of Castlehill, slayn at Pinkie, 1547, after whose death she married (as is reported) a gentleman of the name of Robertson, predecessor to Robertson of Inches.
The family of Castlehill, in the surname of Cuthbert, hase been of good antiquitie. I found in the reigne of David Bruce, mention of Susanna and Eda, heirs-portioners of the barronie of Old Castlehill, by the marieing of the elder of the two. I suppose it probable, that the first of the Cuthberts hade the title and lands from them ; and of their surname have been verie substautiall persons, magistrats, and citizens, in our own times. From this familie, Monsieur Culbert, the great French minion, derives himself ; and seeing it was in Queen Marie's time his father went, he might have been a sone of that mariage with Kilravock's daughter.
Another of this Kilravocks daughters, named Janet, maried Mr. George Gordon of Beldormie, being contracted January 27, 1537; and because they were within prohibited degrees of consanguinitie, ther was a dispensation obtained, dated at Placentia in Italie. The tocher was eight scor punds.
The familie of Beldormie, as I am informed, is descended from a third sone of the second Earle of Huntly, and the said Janet, her grandmother, being Margaret Gordon, they behooved (as I conceave) to be little more than cousine-germans, once or twice removed.
Off this mariage, as ther be many persons, males and females, descended, soe have they keeped their kindness verie intirelie.
A fourth daughter of this mariage, named Kathrine, was maried to John Fraser of Farralen, (whose familie is best known by the title of Bailzie of Stratherrick,) who, with the Lord Lovat, and most of the name of Fraser, were killed at Kinlochlochie 1543. She was one of the four scor widows who, by haveing posthume sons, restored the name of Fraser, almost extinct by killing of their husbands, as aforesaid. What his tocher was, I find not, only I find a receipt of eleaven merks Scots, in compleat payment of his tocher. This Kathrine Rose, after the deceass of John Fraser, her[3] first husband, maried Donald M'Intosh Williamson, by whom she was mother to Angus M'Intosh, (called Williamson also,) a verie wittie and dareing man, predecessor to the present M'Intosh of Kylachie.
A fifth daughter of this mariage, named Helen, was first maried to John M'Intosh Williamson of Termet, and after his deceass, to Stewart, Barron of Kincardine in Strathspey.
A sixth daughter of this mariage was first maried to Patrick Rose, Provost of Nairn, and after his deceass, to Bailzie of Dunean.
A seventh daughter of this mariage was maried to Grant of Kinchirdie.
Agnes Urquhart, Ladie Kilravock, was a good woman, according to her principles, devote, being verie charitable, a great reliever of the poor by her alms deeds. She caused build the house of Geddes wher it now stands, (near the chappell, for conveniencie of her devotions,) whereas their former dwelling-place at Geddes was below, near the water of Nairn.
As to the familie of Cromartie, whereof she was descended, it was verie auncient ; Sir George Mackenzie of Tarbat, now Lord Register, reporting that Urquhart of Cromartie, and Rose of Geddes, were witnesses in the fuudation of the Priorie of Bewlie, which behooved to be betwixt the year 1200 and 1220, as farr as I can gather. I conceave they have been heretors of Urquhart, from which (as others designed of that ilk) was the originall of the surname. It was long a flourishing familie of gentlemen, haveing a great and verie full estate, pleasantly situated, and contigue. They had all the privileges of ane honourable familie ; their estate erected in ane sheriffdom, whereof themselves were sheriffs. They were patrons of churches, and titulars of their own tyths. Their principall dwelling and residence statly, haveing a goodlie prospect into the famed Portus Salutis, &c. I shall say noe more, but nihil certum sub sole et omnium rerum vicissitudo est.
I find a strict bond of amitie and friendship betwixt Sir John Campbell of Calder (who married the heretrix thereof) and this Hugh Rose of Kilravock, for them and ther heirs, dated February 13, 1523. I finde also, that ther were great broyls betwixt the Clanchattan and Clanehameron. Ther are extant the assurances of truce betwixt Hector M'Intosh, Captain of the Clanchattan, and Ewn Allanson, Captain of the Clanehameron, in[4] the year 1527. I find, by a complaint made by James Dunbar of Tarbat, that the Clanchattan hade wasted his lands in Brea Murray, and slayn his men, that therefore, and for other enormities, and quieting the countrey, King James V. gives commission to the sherifis of Kincardin, Aberdeen, Banff, Elgin, Nairn, and Innernes, and to James Earle of Murray, his brother, and Lieut.-Generall of the North ; and to the Earle of Sutherland, Alexander Master of Sutherland, John Earle of Caithnes, John Lord Forbes, Hugh Lord Eraser of Lovet, John Grant of Freughie, William Allanson, John M'Cay of Strathnaver, John Mackenzie of Kintaile, William Chesholme of , and Urquhart of Cromartie, to pass against the Clanchattan in Pettie, and Strathnairn, and to destroy them and their assistantes, except priests, women, and bairns ; and that they should transport in ships, upon the king's expences, the women and bairns to Island, Friesland and Norway ; remitting them for all they should doe in execution of that comission ; in the 29th year of his reigne.
I find this Hugh Rose of Kilravock to have been long prisoner in the Castle of Dunbartoun, as appears by discharges for his mantinance, granted by George Stirling of Glorat, captain of the castle, in 1536. Why he was soe confyned, I do not find. I was informed from a manuscript historie of the Abbey of Kinloss, written by John Ferrerius Pedemontanus, that Hugh Rose of Kilravock seased upon the Abbot of Kinloss, and keept him prisoner. Circumstances make me conclude, that this was that Kilravock that did soe ; and that for soe doeing, he was imprisoned. Att his releasement, he indents with Thomas Davidson, burgess of Paselie, to become his gardiner.
I finde mention in this Kilravock's time of Robert Rose, descended of his familie, who, I conceave, was father to John Rose, Sheriffe-deput of Nairn, who was father to Angus Rose, who was father to another John, and he father to another Angus. This is that cadet called the burgess of Nairn familie, but now extinct ; and their interest bought by William Rose of Clava.[5]
