"Besides .... sixteen legitimate children Sir Robert Carnegie left a natural son, John Carnegie, sometimes designated of Seaton, but more often ' of that Ilk,' because he purchased, on 26 May 1564, the lands of Carnegie from Thomas Maule of Panmure, whose father had acquired them from James Carnegie of that Ilk in 1527 ; he also acquired the barony of Dunichen and the lands of Ochterlony and Crechie. In 1570 John Carnegie was forcibly ejected from Seaton by George Douglas, afterwards Bishop of Moray, and a great company of soldiers. He raised an action of spulzie in the Court of Session against Douglas and the others ; to aid him in which action he applied for a special Act of Parliament, which was granted on 29 November 1581. John Carnegie died in December 1604 ; and on 11 April 1649 David Carnegie of Balmachie was served heir of tailzie to him in eleven acres of Punderlaw and Deischland ; the lands had been in non-entry for forty-four years and three months in the hands of the Marquess of Hamilton, the superior.
