by whom he left a daughter, m. to Sir Wil-
liam Hamilton, bait, of Preston. About
1610, the lands of Thornton, near Kilmar-
nock, long in possession of the family, were
alienated to a cadet, founder of the house
of Mure, of Thornton, the male line of
which becoming extinct in 1701, in the
person of Sir Archibald Mure, Lord Pro-
vost, of Edinburgh, the estate passed by his
heir female to John Cunninghame, of Caddel,
and is now held by Colonel Cunninghame, of
Thornton, the superiority being still with
Caldwell. In the year 1611, occurred the trial
of the ferocious Laird of Auchendrain,
chief of an ancient branch of the Mures, in
Carrick, whose crimes have been immorta-
lized by the pen of Sir Walter Scott. He was,
according to the fashion of the time, sup-
ported in his adversity by those of the
name, throughout the west of Scotland ; and
when summoned to Edinburgh by the coun-
cil, was escorted by the Lairds of Rowallan,
Caldwell, Glanderstoun, and other gentle-
men of rank connected with them. They
abandoned him afterwards, however, when
upon a fuller investigation, the infamy of
his character was displayed in its true
colours. The Laird of Caldwell when cited
for having knowingly harboured and con-
cealed an accomplice, or an important wit-
ness for the prosecutor pleaded that he
could not be expected to do otherwise, in
the case of a clansman, and this excuse was
deemed sufficient. Sir Robert was s. at his
decease by his grandson,

Robert Mure, of Caldwell, who was
served heir to his grandfather in 1617. He
m. Jean, daughter of Uchtred Knox, of
Ramphorlie, and had issue,
Robert, -*

James, 'successively "of Caldwell."
William, S

Euphemia, m. to William Mure, of
Glanderstoun, and had a son,

William, of whom presently, as
representative of the family.
Robert Mure, it seems, fell in battle about
1640 : for in August, 1641, the marriage of
the Laird of Caldwell, " whose father died
in his country's service," is ordered by the
parliament to be passed gratis. Hence it
would appear that he was one of the few
Scotchmen who perished in the only military
transaction of that period, the first revolu
tionary campaign against Charles I. which
ended in the rout of the English army at
Newburn. He was s. by his eldest son,

Robert Mure, of Caldwell, who d. in
1644, and was s. by his younger brother,

James Mure, of Caldwell, at whose de-
cease, without issue, in 1654, the estates
devolved upon his brother,

poused, in 1655, Barbara, daughter of Sir
William Cunninghame, of Cunninghame-

head. This laird, aud a few other west
country gentlemen, favourable to the cause
of civil and religious liberty, met in arms
at Chitterfleet, near Caldwell, on the 28th
November, 1666 ; whence a troop of horse,
consisting chiefly of the tenantry of that
and the neighbouring properties, set out,
under his command, to join the covenanters,
who had recently risen in Dumfriesshire,
and marched upon Edinburgh. But find-
ing themselves intercepted by the king's
troops, and hearing, by the way, of the
defeat of the whig army at Pentland, they
dispersed. Caldwell was attainted, fled to
Holland, and died in exile. His estates,
on forfeiture, were granted to the celebrated
general Dalzell. His lady was imprisoned
with two of her daughters, in Blackness
Castle, and underwent much cruel persecu-
tion, described by Wodrow, the historian of
the period. Of Caldwell's three daughters,
Jane, the eldest, wedded Colonel John Ers-
kine, of Carnock, but left no issue. Anne,
the youngest, died during the prosecution
of the family, while

Barbara Mure, the second daughter,
lived to obtain by special act of parliament,
(on the 19th July, 1690) a full restitution
of her patrimonial estates. She m. John
Fairlie, of that Ilk, but dying without issue,
was s. by her kinsman,

William Mure, fourth laird of Glander-
stoun, (refer to issue of William, second
son of the John Mure, who inherited Cald-
well in 1539.) This gentleman became, by
failure of the elder branch, heir male of line
to Caldwell, and heir direct in right of his
mother, Euphemia, sister of the last unfor-
tunate laird. He m. Margaret, daughter of
Sir George Mowat, bart. of Inglestoun, but
dying without issue, was s. by his nephew,

William Mure, eldest of eighteen chil-
dren of James Mure, esq.* of Rhoddens, in

Alexander, were wounded at the battle of Fonte-

in London. The descendants of both George and
Hutchinson are now settled in the countv of
Suffolk.



William Mure, of Caldwell, who was
elected member of parliament for Renfrew-
shire, in 1742, and he continued to repre-
sent the county until 1761, when he was
made one of the barons of the Exchequer.
He exercised considerable influence in the
management of public affairs in Scotland at
this period, as appears from a series of
confidential letters, addressed to him by
members of the Bute, and other succeed-
ing administrations, some of which throw
light on the political intrigues of the day. —
These, with other letters, from various
eminent literary characters of his time,
Hume, Robertson, &c. with whom he was
in habits of close intimacy, are still preser-
ved at Caldwell. He m. Katherine, daugh-

Crest — A Saracen's head.

Motto — Duris non frangor.

Estates — The family possessions are now
concentrated round the place of Caldwell,
by the sale of several detached properties,
Glanderstoun,Capelrig, &c. and the purchase
by Baron Mure of other lands contiguous.
They are situated, partly in Ayrshire, partly
in Renfrewshire, and in the parishes of Beith,
Dunlop, and Neilston, and comprise a sur-
face of about 5000 imperial acres, of which
about 500 are covered with wood, chiefly
well-grown timber ; the remainder, with tri-
fling exceptions, arable land of good qua-
lity, well enclosed and cultivated. The
husbandry chiefly confined to dairy produce.
A valuable coal is worked on the banks of



a small lake, called Lochlibo ; and the pro-
perty abounds with good lime and free-
stone. The superiorities of Cowdams,
Thornton, Kittochside, and some other old
possessions, still remain with the family. —
The old castle of Caldwell, situated on a
rocky eminence, in the county of Renfrew,
went to decay on the forfeiture in 1666, and
is described as a ruin by topographers in
1690. Nothing now remains but one square
tower. The present mansion house was
built by Baron Mure, in the middle of last
century, after a plan of the architect, Adam,
and is large and commodious. It is situ-
ated a mile to the west of the old residence,
in the parish of Beith and county of Ayr,
and is distant 14 miles from Glasgow, 9
from Paisley, and 12 from Kilmarnock.
Seat— Caldwell.

The mansion house at Coham having been
destroyed by fire in the reign of Queen Anne,
and the family records lost in the conflagra-
tion, we have now traditional authority alone
lor the early abode of the Cohams on their
patrimonial estate, but that establishes the



fact beyond doubt, and proves their resi-
dence there since the Conquest. In the
registers of the parish which commenced in
1520, we find the name of

* The family of Holland, one of the most an-
cient and illustrious in England, derived its de-
scent from Robert de Holand, a gallant soldier
in the Scottish wars of Edward I. who obtained
large territorial grants from the crown, and was
summoned to parliament as a Baron, in the 8th
of Edward II. His lordship joining the insur-
rection of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, suffered
decapitation in 1328. He had wedded (as stated
in the text) Maude, one of the daughters and co-
heirs of Alan, Lord Zouch, by whom he had with
three elder sons,

John de Holand, who married Elinor, daugh-
ter and heir of Sir Andrew de Metsted, of Up-
cott Avenel, in the county of Devon, by his wife,
trie heiress of Bathe, of Weare, and thus ac-
quired that estate ; where this branch of the Hol-
land family have ever since resided. This John
de Holland having made an avowry in certain
lands, it was pleaded against him that the lands,
then in question, were seized unto the king's
hands, because that Robert de Holand, father of
the said John, did aid and assist Thomas, Earl of
Lancaster, against King Edward II. (lib. 3rd of
Edward III. folio 10th.) He was s. by his son,

Thomas Holland, of Upcott Avenel, living
temp. Edward III. who espoused Lucy, daughter
and heiress of John de Holsworthy ; and from
this alliance lineally sprang, through a long line
of eminent progenitors,

William Holland, esq. of Upcott Avenel, who
married Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Bar-
tholomew Thorne, esq. of Thome, by his wife, a
daughter of Henry Rolle, esq. of Heanton Sack-
ville, and was s. by his son,

William Holland, esq. of Upcott Avenel.
This gentleman m. Mary, daughter of — For-
tescue, esq. of Buckland Filleigh, by whom he
left at his decease, a son and successor,

William Holland, esq. of Upcott Avenel, who
m. in 1682, Joan Stafford, of Stafford, and left at
his decease, two daughters, viz.

Mary, who wedded (as in the text) Stephen

Coham, esq. of Coham.
Margaret, m. to John Coham, esq.



Upcott Avenel, in Devon (lineally descend-
ed from John, fourth son of Robert, Lord
Holland, by Maude, his wife, one of the
daughters and co-heiresses of Alan le Zouch,
of Ashby), and thus acquired that estate.
About this time, Coham, as before men-
tioned, was destroyed by fire, and the family,
in consequence, removed to their seat ;it
Upcott Avenel. By the heiress of Holland,
Mr. Coham had two sons,
Lewis, his heir.

Holland, in holy orders, rector of
Northlew, in Devon, who in. Chris-
tian, daughter of the Rev. James
Silke, of Bedminster, and had issue,
Stephen, successor to his uncle.
William-Holland, heir to his
brother.
The elder son,

Lewis Coham, esq. of Upcott Avenel, re-
built the mansion of Coham. He m. Lu-
cretia, daughter and co-heiress of — Barn-
field, esq. of Mambury and Great Torring-
ton, Devon, but dying without issue in 1778,
the estates devolved upon his nephew,

Stephen Coham, esq. of Coham and Up-
cott Avenel, at whose decease unmarried
in 1786, the representation and possessions
of the family devolved upon his brother

The Rev. William-Holland Coham, of
Coham and Upcott Avenel. This gentle-
man wedded in 1790, Mary, daughter and
eventually sole heiress of George Bickford,
esq. of Duusland and Arscott, both in the
county of Devon (see family of Bickford,
of Dunsland at foot), and had issue,
