merks of the barony of Fairnilee from Patrick,
eldest son of Sir Thomas Ker of Fairnilee, which he
disponed in the same year to Robert Rutherford,
then styled of Capehope, with the proviso that the
lands of Keidheuch should be reconveyed to him,
which was done the same day.
The third son of Sir Richard de Ruthirfurd and
Jean Douglas was William de Ruthirfurd, Lord of
the Barony of Eckford. In some memoirs he is
called Gilbert, but is mentioned as William in an
old MS. pedigree of the family. He was doubtless
a turbulent Border rider, and was slain by Walter
Scott of Kirkurd, who got grant of Eckford from
King James II., 3d May 1437. This chieftain had
also the honour of Knighthood from His Majesty,
and grants of Bucleuche and Branxholm for the aid
he gave against the Douglasses. He was not very
particular himself regarding the ownership of the
cattle he brought home, any more than William de
Ruthirfurd, remarking that the beasts of Cumber-
land were just as good as those of Teviotdale.
