FRASER, Adam of Hales 1

  • Born: About 1195

   User ID: K630.

  General Notes:

"Chalmers, in Caledonia, ascribes the foundation of Oliver Castle, in Tweeddale, to this son of Kylvert, and it is probable that he is correct in doing so, for the first mention of that place, afterwards the seat of a branch of the Frasers, is found about the time when he flourished, in a description of the marches between Stobo, Hopprew, and Orde ; two of the numerous witnesses being designated Adam and Cosvold, sons of Muryn 'aput Castrum Oliveri.'

Adam, filius Udardi, sometimes written Odoardi, confirmed the above charter granted by Oliver, using the same expression, 'in tellure de Hale,' and terming Oliver 'avunculus meus ;' and a passage in the confirmation, 'per easdem divisas per quas illam tenuerunt' (the monks) 'in vita, predicti Oliveri,' shows that it was granted after Oliver's death. Adam therefore succeeded his maternal uncle in the lands of Hales."

from Frasers of Philorth 1
