Notes |
- The family of Buntine of Airdoch, Dumbartonshire, was very ancient, and of high blood. One Finlay Bunting obtained a charter of the lands of Mylnelame, and of six merk land of the barony of Cardross, from King Robert III., whose reign was from 1390 to 1406. Sir Finlaw Buntyn was one of the arbiters, on the side of Renfrew, of the indenture between the burghs of Dumbarton and Renfrew, as to the determination of disputes between the said burghs, in 1424, in the Kirk of St. Patrick. The first from whom we may number the successive and regular series of the lairds was, I. John Buntine of Airdoch, parish of Cardross, Dumbartonshire, lived about 1550, or thereby. He married Henwis Knox, daughter of the Laird of Ranfurlie, in the parish of Killbarchan, in Renfrewshire. This Ranfurlie was the brother or nephew of John Knox, the Reformer. They had a son: John Buntien of Airdoch.
