ELIZABETH, MARRIED JAMES KYNNAIRD.
65
son and heir of the late Patrick Kynnaird, burgess of Dundee, as appears by a Part '■
settlement of a cross lodging near S. Clement's, which he made, 9 Feb., on himself ap '
and on her as his "future spouse" (D.P.B. 355), and from a mortgage of this
property for 600 merks made by them iu favour of John Bursye and Barbara
Kynnaird, his wife, 24 Dec. 1605 (ib. 361). It seems doubtful if she was married
till after 15 June 1604, as in a decree of that date ordering Euphame Kynnaird
to restore to Bessie AVedderburn " ane goldein ring with ane turcas thairin," which
the latter had lent her, there is no reference to her husband (D.B.R. 347), and even
on 15 April 1605, at the inquest for serving her heir to her uncle Walter (D.B.R.
354 a), he is not mentioned. He is first named with her, as her spouse, 6 Dec.
1605, in a decree which they obtained v. Agnes Wedderburn (wife of Gilbert Ramsay,
ante p. 27) for the delivery up of certain " pieces of heirship," inherited of Bessie
from her uncle Walter, including " ane hagbit, ane pair of sword gairdis, ane frenche
brydill," &c. (D.B.R. 355). Some few years later she and her husband went to
Denmark and resided in Elsinore. Perhaps it was in view of this change of
residence that, 6 Nov. 1610, they resigned their property near S. Clement's to Andrew
Kynnaird (D.P.B. 415), a transaction confirmed later, 27 Oct. 1615, by a procurator
on their behalf (ib. 387). They were in Dundee 27 June, 8 July 16 15, but were then
about to sail for Denmark, as David Wedderburn notes in his " Compt Buik " the
loan to Bessie of "ane treu flacon of a quarter to go with her to Denmark," as well
as his delivery to her of a procuratory and other documents on the latter date
(D.W. 9/). On 8 Nov. 1616 she was again returned heir to her uncle Walter, her
husband being described as " burgess of Dundee, now indweller in Alsownuir "
(D.B.R. 397). This retour was repeated at Edinburgh 8 Dec. 1616 (R.H. 19).
The date of her death is not ascertained, but she was living in May 1620, the date
of her mother's will, in which both she and a daughter of her s are named as
legatees (P.B.N. 4 ; Br. Test. 4).
