all the Account of these of the Family before this Man's Time,
and has put them to so great a Loss as the utter Ignorance of
their Predecessors and their Honours, Fortunes, Marriages
and Succession.

[page 538.]

The Proof of this Burning is this. There is in the said
Charter Chest the Verdict of an Inquest proceeding upon a
Brieve out of the Chancellarie bearing That it was lamentably
complained by Walter Carnegy of Kinnaird That in the Time
of the War betwixt Alexander Earl of Huntlie, Lord Gordon,
and Alexander Earl of Crawford Lord Lindesay his Mansion
House & Charters thereof and of little Carcary were
destroyed. This Brieve is dated 1^st January 1454; And it is
directed to Thomas Fentoun of Ogill then Depute to Alex-
ander of Ogilvie Sheriff of Forfar, and hath his Seal appended
thereto, and the Seals and Subscriptions of the Persons of
Inquest, to wit, William of Ouchterlony of Kellie Thomas of
Ogilvie of Clova, John of Ereskine of Dun, Patrick of Gairden
of that Ilk; James of Rynd of Broxmouth. John Guthrie of
Essie, Alexander Lambie of Dunkeny, William of Gairne of
the Burrowfield, William Guthrie of Glenquharadie, Thomas
of Crawmond, William Symer of Balzordie, and several others
of the antientest Gentlemen of the Shire of Angus; And in
Answer to the Points of the Brieve they gave this Verdict,
That Walter of Carnegy held the Lands of Kinnaird and
Little Carchary with the Pertinents of the King for the Service
of the keeping of the King's Ale Sellar within the Sheriff-
dom of Forfar when the King should happen to reside there,
and when he is lawfully thereto, and for Payment of a Penny
in Name of Blensh Farme if it were asked.

AFTER this Walter Carnegy the Race & Posterity coming
of him and his Marriage also are Something Obscure. Yet I
find about 60 Years thereafter One James Carnegy Anno 1512,
who, I suppose was this Walter his Son or Grand Child.

JAMES CARNEGY of Kinnaird Son (or Grand Child) to the
last Walter Carnegy was living at the Field of Flowdoun. Mr.
Robert Maule in his M.S. of the Genealogy of the Family of
Panmoore makes Mention of him, but has Nothing of his
Actions, Marriage or Posteritie. He also speaks there of
John Carnegy, who, it seems, was Son to this James.
