MUIRHEAD, John of Brydinhill ¹

   User ID: Z753.

  General Notes:

" John Muirhead of Brydinhill, named as James Muirhead, (8th) of Lauchope and Elizabeth (Houstoun)'s eldest son, apparently did not inherit the estate of Lauchope; the reason is not known. The inheritance of the estate of Lauchope possibly went to John's younger brother, James, because he already possessed the estate of Brydinhill."
