"VI. James Chisholm of Cromlix, who appears to have been married to a daughter of Sir Ludovick Houston of that Ilk, and to have had issue - one son ; for we find a petition to Parliament, on the 5th of August, 1641, from ' Ludowick Chisholme onlie lawful son and appearand aer of umquhile James Chisholme of Cromlix,' who, being a captain of foot in Lord Drummond's regiment, died at Kelso ; and the prayer of the petition is, that ward and marriage may be granted without composition in the name of Sir Ludovick Houston of that Ilk, his gud-sire, and tutor testamentar. Ludovick seems to have died almost immediately after the presenting of this petition, for on the 22nd of September following we find John Chisholm, who describes himself as heir apparent of James, making a similar application."
