as well as having been at several sea engagements.
John and Patrick, his two younger sons, also went
to sea, and both soon after died unmarried. Janet,
his eldest daughter, married, 1st, Mr Howie, sur-
geon in Selkirk, by whom she had children, but
they all died young; and 2dly, to the Rev. Mr
David Brown, minister of Selkirk, by whom she
had a daughter.* This Janet was an excellent good
woman, in every sense of the word ; she died at
Ormiston in East Lothian in 1767. — Elizabeth,
his youngest daughter, is still living, and unmar-
ried.
The said Thomas married, 2dly, Jane, sister to
John Elliot of Peal, in Selkirkshire, and relict
of Mr Thomas Pringle of Kirton, in the said
shire, but by her had no issue. This Thomas
having lived genteelly, and perhaps a little too libe-
rally, hurt his fortune; and in 1746 sold his estate
and mansion-house of Toderick, having also some
years before sold the estate of Wester-Essenside
in Roxburghshire. He died in 1753, at Selkirk,
and was buried at Askirk, in an isle or vault at
the south side of the said church, which isle is now
in ruins, or rather, in a great measure, totally re-
moved. The arms are still on the seat in the said
Kirk that belongs to Toderick, cut in wood, and
