Nisbet, Co. Berwick, and had a son, John Carre of
Cavers, served heir in 1693 to his uncle, Robert
Karre, third Lord Jedburgh, in Hundalee and his
other estates, being designated in the deed " lawful
son of John Karre of Nisbet and Lady Jean Ker,
his spouse."
compliance with the stipulation made by his grandfather, married
his cousin, Jean Ker. From this marriage descended the Drum-
monds (called Ker), Dukes of Roxburgh, whose line also failed.
After a long contest with General Ker of Littledean, the heir-
male of the house of Cessford, the titles and estates were awarded
by the House of Lords in 1812 to Sir James Innes Norcliffe,
Bart., in virtue of his descent from Margaret, third daughter of
Harry (or Habbie) Lord Ker, who in 1666 married Sir James
Innes, Bart., of Innes. Sir James succeeded as fifth Duke of
Roxburgh.
