Andrew Lundy of Benholm

ANDREW LUNDY OF BENHOLM

Spurious Pedigree

Andrew Lundy of Benholm is identified as the grandson of Robert Lundy of Benholm in Dr. Robert Lundie's account of the family (another Robert Lundy of Benholm intervening), but this is wrong. Lundie of Benholm Andrew Lundy of Benholm is in fact the son of Robert Lundy of Benholm, rather than his grandson. The House of Benholm
