McCLURE, Agnes ²

Agnes married.¹

  Marriage Notes:

"William Rait, the sixth Laird. In 1557 he petitioned the Lords of Council for his recognition (by delivering the relevant charters to him) as the heir to the deceased David Rait of Drumnagar (probably his grandfather). This implies that William, the fifth Laird, was already dead by that date, but William the sixth was still suing John of Silliflett in 1569/70 for payments due from Drumnagar, and he did not obtain a charter to the lands of Drumnagar until 1574. Clearly the inheritance was not straightforward.

This William also extended the property interests of Hallgreen into the county of Forfarshire (Angus) by obtaining, in 1597, a charter for the whole of Cononsyth in the parish of Carmyllie, Forfarshire, from the Gardynes. He still held that property in 1603, when he sold Pressock in the barony of Gardyne in Forfarshire. By 1574 he was married to Margaret, daughter of Garden (or Gardyne) of Leys...."
