Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / Re: Robertus King of Barra and Bourtie

I have never found anyone older than Robertus Dictus King. If you want info around the time of the family losing Barra try James King, wife Beatrice Liimsdaine, around 1580-1640, son of William King, son of James, son of William, son of James.

If you need info around 1600 try following the large amount of info on Sir James King, Lord Eythin 1589-1652. He was famous in the civil war.

I personally am interested in the James King of the Barra family that migrated to Corrard, Ireland in the early 1600's. There are so many James that it is confusing.

Kylie B,

I have stumbled onto your comments through Google. I have joined RootsChat just to ask if you ever filled out the Kings of Barra family tree. I have a great interest in this era as I am descended from a branch of the Barra Kings that migrated to Ireland and hence to Australia. I am trying to find the King who migrated to Corrard Ireland.

I have found lots of info on the family around 1600, mainly because Sir James King, later Baron Eythin, was very famous and there are lots of references about his efforts in the Civil War.

Anyone who can link to Sir James King's mother can prove they are descended from Scottish Royalty and English Royalty and thence to most of the european thrones.
