Sybilla Graham of Abercorn

THE HEIRESS OF ABERCORN

William Muir, the editor of Sir William Mure of Rowallan's account of that family added the following note to a mention of the House of Caldwell: "Crawfurd, derives the Mures of Caldwell from Gilchrist, who appears in 1363, a younger son of Sir Reginald More of Abercorne; and says that Sir Reginald, who was Lord Chamberlain of Scotland, temp. David 11. obtained Abercorne by marriage of one of the co-heiresses of the Grahams of Eskdale. The connection, however, of the family of Abercorne, with the house of Rowallane, appears not to be very distinctly ascertained: neither does the present account seem more certainly to fix that point."
