not found him so designated. In 1517 he
appears in the inquisition taken before the
Sheriff of Fife respecting the landowners
of that county. On 27 March, 1531, he
grants a charter to Henry his son and h.
and Alison Hume his spouse ; and on
'7.5 Jan., 1535, he grants a second charter
to the same. He m. Elizabeth, dau. of
John Beton of Balfour, and they are both
named in a charter of 9 Jan., 1546/7, on the
occasion of their son's second marriage.
She d. 1558 (Wood's ' East Neuk of Fife,'
p. 372), and he before 25 Oct. that year.
His son was
II. Henry Wardlaw of Torrie, called Sir Henry and made grandson in the Peerages, and said to have d.s.p. He m. 1st Alison Hume, with whom he had charters from his father 27 March, 1531, and 25 Jan., 1535. She was dead before 9 Jan., 1546, on which day he had another charter on the occasion of his 2nd marriage with Katherine, dau. of James Lundy of Balgony. He served himself heir to his father John 25 Oct., 1558, and was still living 16 Sept., 1569, when William Lumsden, rector of Cleish, uncle and heir of Thomas Lumsden of Ardrye, had sasine in the third part of Lockend, in the barony of Lochore- shire, on a precept from Henry Wardlaw of Torrie, life-renter, and Andrew his son, fiar of Torrie, superiors. He was pre- sumably the Henry Wardlaw of Torrie summoned to the Parliament of 1560. I believe that Andrew still appears as " appa- rent of Torrie " in the registers of the Great Seal in 1576, in which case he must have been still alive then ; but I have not the reference. He had a large family, of whom were (1) Andrew his heir ; (2) Robert, living 1592 ; (3) Mr. John ; and (4) William. Alexander Wardlaw, parson of Ballingry, Oct., 1551, was also apparently a son. In a long document dated 9 July, 1561, in which he is accused of various things, mention is made of " the Laird of Torrie, Andro Wardlaw," brother to the said Alexander and to John Wardlaw and James Wardlaw " his emis." See Hew Scott's 'Fasti,' ii. 525. He was afterwards (1576) rector of Banchrie, and d. before 1581, leaving two sons John, a witness to a sasine of Andrew Wardlaw of Torrie, June, 1576 ; and George, named in 1581.
III. Andrew Wardlaw of Torrie, eldest son. In the Peerages he is called Sir Andrew and made brother of the preceding. He had sasine, on precept from John, Archbishop of St. Andrews, on resignation by Henry Wardlaw of Torrie his father, of the lands
and barony of Torrie (with exceptions),.
9 June, 1566 (' Reg. of Sasines, Dunferm-
line, 1569 ') ; and again 9 June, 1576, in
the said lands, on their redemption from
David Durie, son of the quondam Henry
Durie de eodem, on a precept from Robert,
Commendator of Dunfermline, dated 7 June
previous (' Reg. Rec.'). On 17 Dec., 1579,
he and others were proceeded against at the
instance of James Scott of Balwearie
(' Wemyss Book,' ii. 303). He acquired,
with Janet Durie his spouse, the lands of
Pitgarnow from William Scott of Abbots-
hall by a contract dated 9 Aug., 1594, and
had a charter of confirmation from King
James VI., 7 Oct., 1598 (' Reg. Gt. Seal ').
These lands by a subsequent charter he
granted to Patrick his son, whom failing,
to James, Patrick's immediate younger
brother. Henry Wardlaw, his son and
heir apparent, is a witness. On
18 May, 1613, he makes complaint that
Andrew Wardlaw, Younger of Torrie, re-
mains unreleased from the homings of
13 and 15 Oct. last ; and also that Mr.
Patrick Wardlaw, sometime of Pitgarnow,.
second son of the pursuer, remains unreleased
from a horning of 19 Nov. last for not
fulfilling certain obligations. On 8 June,.
1613, he appears, along with Andrew
Wardlaw, fiar of Torrie, Henry Wardlaw
of Balmule, and others, as resigning certain
lands (ibid.). He d. before 1615. His
wife Janet Durie was probably a dau. of
the Henry Durie above named. She d~
1601. They had issue (1) Henry, Younger
of Torrie, called Sir Henry in the Peerages.
He was living 1598, and d.v.p. before 1605,
leaving issue by Marion Tours his wife
two daus. and coheirs, Elizabeth and Janet,
who on 24 Feb., 1619, were served heirs
portioners to Henry Wardlaw, heir apparent
of Torrie, their father ; to Andrew Wardlaw
of Torrie, their grandfather ; to Henrjr
Wardlaw of Torrie, their great-grandfather ;.
and to John Wardlaw of Torrie their
great - great - grandfather (' Inq. Gen.,'
Nos. 805-12*). The younger was probably
the "Janet, dau. of Henry Wardlaw
of Torrie," who m. Sir Robert Bruce
of Clackmannan (Douglas's ' Baronet-
age,' p. 239). (2) Andrew, Younger of
Torrie after 1605, his heir. (3) Patrick,
heir to his brother. (4) James, living
Oct., 1598. And probably (5) Margaret,
wife of David Beton of Balfour with issue
(Wood's ' East Neuk of Fife,' p. 377).
- This establishes the Torrie succession from
John.
