when Peter Wedderbuni, elder, enters into a contract with Dr. David Kiiilndi, son to his
wife's brother, John Kinloch (R D. 10), but he died before 5 Nov. in that year, when there
is an edict of curatory to Peter Wedderbuni, son of umquhill Peter, burge.ss (D.U.K. 350),
and one of the first acts of this son is to implement, 6 Feb. 1607, his father's contn>ct with
Dr. David Kinloch (D.P.B. 3G6.) There are sevenil references to old Peter Wedderbuni
after his death, both in reuard to his son (D.P.B. 385; D.B.R. 376), and in reference to
lands once his (S.W. 36S;^D.P.B. 490, 566).
He married before 1577 (D.B.R. 231) Margaret BLinloch, daughter of William
Kinloch and Janet Lindsay (D.P B. 313) through wlinm ho aeiiuired a South Murr,iy;.'.iit
land, near " that of William Lochmalony and the windmill " (.S.W. 313; D.P.B. 241 »(, 279),
which, with a North ^larketgait land, descended to her eldest son {il>. 830, 349). By her,
who died before 10 Jan. 15';>9, when hsr son Peter is named as her heir (il>), he had two
sons and three daughters :
1. Peter 'Wed.d.erburii [1585 ?— 1627?],' eldest son of Peter Wedderbuni and Margaret
Kinloch, is first named, 28 April 1595, in a discharge by Peter Wedderbuni. elder,
and his son Peter Wedderbuni. younger (D.B.R. 300 f). He was entered heir to
his late mother, Margaret Kinloch, in a North Murraygait land, 10 -Ian. 1599
(D.P.B. 330). and also^in a North Marketgait propcrtj-, 3 .Ian. 1003 (i'''. 349). He
was still young at this date, as he is called " puer " in the entry, althoug'i oM
enough to join in a contract between his father and Dr. David Kinldch, d.itcd

1 Aug. 1610 (U.D. 1610). On his father's death he got an edict of cunitory,
5 Nov. 1604, so that he was then under age (D.B.R. 350), but seems tohaie
attained his majority bj- 6 Feb. 1607, when he implements the al-oveiiirntidued
contract (D.P.B. 366). Ho is called "young Peter Wedderbuni," 6 .hui. 16u6
(D.W. 9 c), and, 9 Sept., Peter Wedderbuni. younaer 1
3G:i). That he was
his father's eldest son is clear from the confirmation of the will of his brother-inlaw,
William iJavidson, to which ho is cautioner, and in which he is cxpre.'vsly
called '• eldest son of the late Peter" (Br.T. 1). Ho was thus luir to his uncle
Kobert, the notary, by whose will (1611) he is left a legacy " in sjitisfaction of all
heirship claims" (' Br.T. 2). He, "younger," was entered heir to him in variouH
