THE BAIRDS OF ORDINHNIVAS AND CHESTERHALL.
N the foregoing history Auchmedden traces the line of the Family
of Ordinhnivas for seven generations, till the marriage of Lillias
Baird, only daughter and heiress of Walter Baird, the 6th in
descent, to Gilbert Baird of Auchmedden, who, though a name-
sake, was of a different family altogether. The rest of the history
is devoted to the descendants of this marriage, to the entire neglect of the male
line of the older family, which still flourishes, and of which some account is here
presented.
A brief table will explain what Auchmedden has done and what he has left
undone.
