LIST OF THE KNIGHT-BAEONETS OF SCOTLAND (PRECEDING THE UNION) WITH THE DATES OF THEIR DIPLOMAS. From a manuscript, by Robert Milne, preserved in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh (32. 6. 6), supposed to have been taken from a list or book of accounts in the Exchequer, which perished with many other records in the fire that occurred in that office ; with additional entries from the "Roll of Baronets of Nova Scotia who had territorial grants from Sir William Alexander, Earl of Stirling." printed, with other documents relating to Nova Scotia, by the Bannatyne Club,^ 1867, and other sources. Several of these are included in the Register of the Great Seal of Scotland in H.M. General Register House, Edinburgh, and also in the "Register of Signatouris in the Office of ComptroUerie," but others, probably from not having paid the fees, seem not to have been registered. Some further particulars as to remainders have also been added from the patents as recorded, but all matter not in Milne's List is included in brackets. The entries to which the letter (S) is placed are included in the roll of Baronets of Nova Scotia printed bv the Bannatyne Club, and those marked by an asterisk appear in that roll only, and not in Milne's List. The names marked with a dagger ( f ) are not recorded in the " Registrum Preceptorum Cartarum pro Baronettis Novae Scotiae," 1625-30, deposited in the General Register House, Edm- burgh, or in the Great Seal Register ; those marked ( J ) are not in the Great Seal Register. iVoto.— These with the letters A. M. B., their Patents are only providit to the heires male of their owne bodyes, and these with the letters A. M. are providit to the heires male whatsoever.
