Andrew MacFarlane, in Easter Kipnoch Farm

Andrew MacFarlane, Gentleman, who was born circa 1560 in Scotland, and died there before October 1623. He was the tenant in Kipnoch farm, Drymen Parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland for his distant cousin John, 2nd Earl of Perth, and, as a party to the feud with the Buchanans, was mentioned in the Privy Council minutes on 10 March 1619 and 25 March 1619.[The late historian and genealogist John Ormiston Gray said that this gentleman was a younger son of Humphrey MacFarlane of Brachearn, 1st Baron, but in your editor's opinion John's time frame, based upon his estimate of Humphrey's birth year as 1570, was too short for a conjectured son Andrew to have had three sons old enough to have come to the notice of the Privy Council in 1619 as parties to the feud with the Buchanans.]Andrew married with issue, five sons: he also had two natural sons:"
