field were held by Adam Kirktouu, and during tlie same century the rest of the lands of the
barony of Ulstoun were distributed among various proprietors.^
Edwordisley, or Eadwardesle, supposed to be the place now called Long Edwardly near
Jedburgh, was the gift of King David I. to the canons of Jedburgh before 1152, and was
about the same time confirmed to them by Prince Henry, and about 1165 by King William
the Lion.-
Rhenaldtown in Upper Crailing appears to be an old possession. It probably gave name to
Roger of Rainaldeston of the county of Roxburgh, who swore fealty to the King of England in
1 296.^ In the following century it was held by Robert Burell, on whose forfeiture King Robert
III. in 1.390-91 granted Raynaldistoun to AVilliam of Laundelis, his wife Jonet, and their heirs.'
Bonjedworth, now Bonjedward, was in 1.320 granted by King Robert Bruce to Sir James of
Douolas.-'' About 1356 Bondjeddeworth formed part of the grant given by King Edward III.
to Henry Percy and his heirs in exchange for Annandale.^ King David 11., probably between
1358 and 1370, granted to William Pettillok, herald, the three husbandlands of the town of Bon-
jedward which had been forfeited by Roger Pringill.'' In 1398 George earl of Angus was
infeft by James Sandilands in the lands of Bonjedworth, and the infeftment was confirmed by
Kin" Robert lU.*" In 1407 Isabel countess of Mar granted to Thomas the son of -John Douglas
and Maro-aret his spouse all the lands of Bonjedworth, which were confirmed to them by the
recent Albany.^ Godscroft affirms that the Douglases of Bonjedward are descended from a
natural son of George fifth earl of Angus, who died in 1462.i<> In 1476 and 1479 George
Douglas was laird of Bonjedworth. i' In 1529 George Douglas of Boonjedward is witness to a
bond of alliance or feud-stanching between the Scotts and Kers.i^ In 1544 Sir Ralph Enre
burned Bonjedworth, and in 1545 William Douglas of Bunjeduard had his ' dwelling-house,' his
' town,' and ' the two towers of Bune Jedworth,' destroyed by the English in the expedition of
the Earl of IIertford.^3 in 1575 Douglas of Beanjeddart fought at the 'Raid of the Reid-
swire.''* In the seventeenth century 'Bonjedburgh' was still the property of the Douglases, but
three husbandlands of the town and territory, probably those given by King David II. to
William Pettillok, were held by Adam Kirktouu of Stewartfield.is
The lands of Timpendean, lying in the territory of Bonjedworth, were in 1479 granted by
George Douglas, with consent of James his son and heir, to his son Andrew, from whom they
descended in lineal succession to AVilliam Douglas who held them in 1718.is
Hundalee is an old possession of the Rutherfords. John Rutherfurde of Hundole appears in
record in 1475 and 1492,i' and his grandson John Rutherfurd in 1494.18 In 1545 and 1547
