LAUDER, John in Stow 1
User ID: Q976 General Notes: "The Privy Council heard, on the 22nd October 1617, a complaint by 'Agnes Lawder, liferenter of the lands of Pirn (Peebleshire), and Richard and [this] John Lawder, her sons' [the sons appeared in person] against John Scot in Pirn and others, tenants of the said Agnes. John Scot had apparently asked to purchase his land and this was refused by Agnes and subsequently Scot started a very serious feud which ended violently.[1The Registers of The Privy Council of Scotland edited by David Masson, LL.D., vol.XI, 1616-1619, Edinburgh, 1894, pps: 251/2.]" |
