Sir Simeon Glendonwyn of that Ilk, a famous and brave country-man, got fi
Archibald L'url of Douglas and Galloway the lands of Witliim-Glencorse, and se-
\(j ral others, as appears by the charters of the family, with the gality
bailiary of the re-
of Eskdale: He had for his wife Mary Douglas, daughter to the said Earl.
His son and successor was Simeon Glendonwyn, father of Bartholomew Glendunwyn,
father of John, as by an account which I had from the present rcpreH-nter of the
family; and that the family resided at Parton in the Me wart ry of Kirkcudbright ;
from which afterwards they took the designation from the lands of 1'arton. And
their descent runs thus:
Which John was father of Ninian, who married Janet Dunbar; their son, John,
married a daughter of Gordon of Lochinvar, who hud issue, Alexander, married to
a daughter of Gordon of Troquhane ; and their son was Robert, who had for wife a
his son
daughter of Maxwell Lord Herries; and their son, John, was succeeded by
Robert of Parton, who married Agnes Herries, of the family of Mabie, and with
her had only a daughter, Agnes Glendonwyn, heiress of Parton, who was married to
James Murray of Conhcath, who takes upon him the name and arms of Glendonwyn,
and has issue a son, Robert Glendonwyn. The arms of the family are, quarterly,
argent and sable, a cross parted per cross indented, and counter-changed of
the same ; crest, the sleeve of a coat upon the point of a sword : motto, Have faith
in Christ. The same arms are to be seen carved upon their seat in the church of
Parton, in the year 1598; but there are placed several other figures on the cantons,
which the cross makes ; on the first a goat's head, on the second a sword in bendsinister,
on the third a boar's head, and on the fourth a fesse cheque, and in chief
the sleeve of a coat, as by a draught of them sent to me by Mr James Ro\\
minister in the parish church of Parton.
DUNBAR of Machrimore, in Galloway,
descended from the Dunbars of Enter-
kin, a branch of the old family of Dunbars Earls of March. The first of this family
who came to Galloway, was a second son of Enterkin n commonly called Long
John of Enterkin; his son, Anthony Dunbar, was the first that purchased the
barony of Machrimore from the M'Dowalls,. old possessors of these lands, in the
year 1623; he married a daughter of Stewart of Phisgill, and with her had a son,
John Dumbar, his successor, who married a daughterof John M'Dowall of Logan; his
son and successor, Patrick Dunbar, was a member of Parliament for the
stewartry
of Galloway, in the reigns of King William and Queen Anne. He married a
daughter of M'Dowall of Freugh; his son and successor is the present Alexander
Dunbar of Machrimore, married to a daughter of John Hamilton of Bardanoch,
late bailie of his Majesty's palace of Holyroodhouse.
The family of Machrimore has been in use to carry for arms, gules,
a lion ram-
pant or, surmounted of a bend azure, charged with three cushions of the second,
all within a bordure argent, charged with eight cinquefoils of the first; crest, a
lion's head erased, crowned with an open crown or: motto, Fortis 13 fulelis; as in

CAMBBELL of Inveraw, commonly called MACKCONACHIE or MACK.DONACHIE of Inveraw,
being a patronimical appellation, as the offspring or son of Duncan; who,
it seems, was the first descended from the ancient family of Argyle, before that
noble family married the heiress of Lorn, and so bear only gironnt of eight, or and
sable, within a bordure waved azure, and charged with eight salmons naiant
argent, for difference, in reference to the river of Awe, upon which their lands and
houses lie, which runs out of Lochow, where they have a considerable salmon
fishing; crest, a hart's head, proper, in regard of the forest, or deer they have in
the great mountain of Cruachan.
Of this family are several branches, viz. Alexander Campbell of Kilmartin, Dou-

Alexander Campbell of Brigadier Stanwix's Regiment, and many others,
