Chapter V.
Notices of Various Persoxs, chiefly in Dundee, unidentified in the rRECEOiNG
Chapters.
I now proceed to give particulars of some few persons of the name, whose parentage Part I.
I have failed to ascertain, and whom I iuive thus been unaljlc to work into the continuous Chap. v.
history. These are cliiefly persons whose names occur in tlie Dundee Records, although I
have added two or three whom I find recorded elsewhere, as for example, Adam Wedderbum
in S. Andrew's, and Alexander Wedderburn, Vicar of Sandridge, co. Herts. Of
those mentioned in the Dundee Records, most are naturally women, who, after their
marriages, cease to be closely connected with their fathers' family, the males of tlie
name, clearly named in tlie records, but still unidentified, being principally three, viz.,
Sir Thomas (1500-68), Mathew (1540-lGOO), and Archihald (l.JG t-G.')). 1 have in some
cases been able to add some remarks by way of suggestion as to the parentage of this
or that individual, but they are suggestions only and no more. In another part of this
volume (Part vi.) I shall have to deal with some other individuals (later in date than
those here dealt with), whom, equally, I cannot place, as well as with other families
of the name in Scotland, England, and abroad, in regard to whom I have obtained
considerable material, but whose connection with the Forfarshire family I have failed to
prove.
