Respecting Uchter Knox, one of the arbiters of 1489, Mr Crawford adds:
“His lady is Agnes Lyle; the presumption is that she was Lord Lyle’s daughter, because there was no other family of that name, and they resided just in the neighborhood at the castle of Duchall, not above two or three miles distant. He left two sons, Uchter, his successor, and George Knox, a younger son, to whom his father gave in patrimony the half of the lands of Knoc or Knox; and to Janet Fleeming, his spouse, a daughter of the ancient family of Barrochan, in the shire of Renfrew, anno 1503. The charter proveds the estate disponed to them and their heirs simply.”
