- Involved in cases in 1629. Was infirm and aged by then. Sir John Home of Rentoun and Sir Alexander Nisbet of West Nisbet took the oath of Sheriff in his place (RPC 2nd S, v3 p. 274). King Charles I mentions him a letter ordering the arrest of John Neill in England (Register of Royal Letters, v2 p. 423). Not the same as LA/1764.
