1. Agues Wedderbiirn, named in tlie confirmation of lier niotlier's will
(S.A.R. 4), and 10 March ItiOl D.l! U. 337 «). She married (;tlh,rt Ramsay, loader,

his minority acts and especially his signinp;of the marria^'e contract of his sister Agnes
and Gilbert Kamsay, and again G lice. 1605, when she and Uanisay are numodln a

and in another from the Doctor to Alexander Wedderburn of Kingennie in 1647
(See post pp 32-33).
2. Margaret Wedderburn, also named in the confirmation of her mother's

legacy of 1,800 merks by her brotlier the Bishop, who also bequeathed a similar sum
to her daughter Christian (R.l). 132-33). She died in 1643, perhaps about July,

was then under age, as there is an edict of curatory to him (D.B.R. 44G). He had,
however, gone abroad to Stockholm, to acquire a commercial training, nil640, but
came home upon the death of his mother. Of this event he gives an account in his
letter (S.W. 291) to liis uncle, John Wedderburn, who seems to have mistrusted
his interference with his house property in Dundee' (See post )ip. 32-33).
3. Helen Wedderburn, named only in the confirmation of her mother's will,
and probably, therefore, died young and unmarried.

Moravia, and (//) James, Uishop of Dunblane, remain to be dealt with :
