England, and had his lauds confiscated,
but, returning with the exiled lords in
1585, they were restored.
There was a charter passed the great Mag. Sig. Lib .
seal, " Patricio Hamilton, filio natu
maximo Jacobi Hamilton de Peill de

* In a document, (Reg. Seer. Cone. 26th April 1 566,) James Hamilton of Kincavel, and James

Hamilton of the Peil of Livingston, Agnes Ookburne, his spouse, Patrick, James, John, Claud,
and Alexander Hamilton, their sons.
