Lilias Graham md. Lord
John Fleming (1567-1619) 6th
Lord Fleming,
first Earl of Wigton in Scotland
from 1606 [His
line]
"Biggar and the House of Fleming" by William Hunter, F.S.a.
Scot. Pages 551-552, 557:
"Lord Fleming married Lady Lilias Graham, a daughter of
John, Earl of Montrose. Her ladyship was distinguished
for her piety and devotion and her zealous efforts to
promote the principles of the Reformation.
Livingstone, in his 'Characterisitcs' says of her, 'When I
was a child I have often seen her at my father's at the
preachings and communions. While dressing she read the
Bible, and every day at that time shed more tears (said one)
than ever I did in my life.'"
"The Earl died in April 1619 leaving three sons and five daughters and was succeeded by his eldes son John who warmly embraced his mother's ecclesiastical opinions and was as zealous of the cause of Presbyterianism as his forefathers had been in the maintenance of Popery.
"He
married Margaret, daughter of Alexander Livingstone, first
Earl of Linlithgow, a lady of amiable disposition and great
piety who entered cordially into the religious views and
schemes of her husband. They not only attended the
ministrations of the settled Protestant clergy, but for some
time maintained a chaplain of their own family." (page 552)
William and Mary Quarterly, Volume XII (1903) pp. 45-47 by
Lyon G. Tyler vies the names of two sons, John and
Charles. "While his second son, Sir Thomas Fleming, is
said to have emigrated to the Virginia colony and became the
progentiro fhte Virginia branch of the family. Mr.
Brock states ('Richmond Standard,' Feb. 7, 1880) that he
married Miss Tarleton and had Tartleton, John and
Charles. Mr. Brock's information it is believed, is
derived from family tradition. There is, nevertheless,
no mention as far as I have been able to ascertian in the
records of Virginia, of any Sir Thomas Fleming. The
earliest perosn of the name was John fleming, who I am
inclined to believe was the emigrant". (Lyon G. Tyler)

16, 1212) was the second but eldest surviving son of Robert
de Brus, 2nd Lord of Annandale. His elder brother, Robert
III de Brus, predeceased their father and never held the
lordship of Annandale. William de Brus thus succeeded his
father when the latter died in 1194.
William de Brus possessed large estates in the north of
England. He obtained from King John, the grant of a weekly
market at Hartlepool, and granted lands to the canons of
Gisburn.[1] Very little else is known about William's
activities. He makes a few appearances in the English
government records and witnessed a charter of King William
of Scotland. He married a woman called Christina, and had by
her at least two sons, Robert (his successor),
William."
William = son of
31 Robert de Brus, 2nd Lord of Annandale (d. 1194) md. Euphemia, daughter of William le Gros, 1st Earl of Albermarle [Her line]
According to Wikipedia: "Robert II de Brus, The Cadet, (died 1194) was a 12th century Norman noble and Lord of Annandale. He was the son, perhaps the second son,[1] of Robert de Brus, 1st Lord of Annandale. The elder de Brus' allegiances were compromised when David invaded England in the later 1130s, and he had renounced his fealty to David before the Battle of the Standard in 1138. The younger Robert however remained loyal and took over his father's land in Scotland, whilst the English territories remained with the elder Robert and passed to the latter's elder son Adam. Bruce family tradition has it that Robert II was captured by his father at the battle and given over to King Stephen of England. A legend tells that in the 1140s, Robert II was visited at Annan by St Malachy. St Malachy asked Robert to pardon a thief, but Robert hung him anyway, and for this the River Annan destroyed part of his castle and the de Brus line received a curse from the holy man. Robert made Lochmaben the centre of his lordship and constructed a new caput there. Robert was buried at Guisborough Priory in North Riding, Yorkshire, a monastery founded by his father Robert I de Brus. As his eldest son, Robert, predeceased him, he was succeeded by his second son William. He married Euphemia, a daughter of William le Gros, 1st Earl of Albemarle, and had four known children,"
Robert = son of
32 Robert de Brus, 1st Lord of Annandale (d. 1142)
According to Wikipedia: "Robert I de Brus (died 1142) was an early 12th century Norman baron and knight, the first of the Bruce dynasty of Scotland. A monastic patron, he is remembered as the founder of Gisborough Priory in Yorkshire in 1119. Nothing is known of Robert's father, except that he was a landowner in Normandy. Modern historians contend that Robert may have come from Brix, Manche, near Cherbourg in the Cotentin Peninsula, and came to Britain after King Henry I of England's conquest of Normandy (i.e: at the same time as Alan fitzFlaad, ancestor of the Stewart Royal Family). David fitz Malcolm (after 1124 King David I of Scotland), was present in France with King Henry and was granted much of the Cotentin Peninsula. It is suggested that Robert de Brus's presences and absences at Henry's court seem to coincide with David's. Whatever his immediate ancestry, what is known beyond doubt is that he went to Scotland, where the new King, David, made Robert Lord of Annandale in 1124,[2]. although there is scant evidence that this Robert took up residence on his Scottish estates."
