him and his posterity. I think he was son to
Andrew Murray, once Governour of the King-

the two begotten in his marriage with Euphan
Ross, daughter to the Earle of Ross ; Whereupon
I find four Charters granted at several tymes,
whereof the second is most ample, dated at Perth,
the third July, the . second year of the s d King
Robert his Reigne, whereby the said Earldome is
given to the said David as fully and freely as umq"
Melisse Earle of Straitherne, or any other Earle,
