Kerrs of Linton/Lintoun/Lintoune/Lyntoune and Home of Haircarse

[Rewcastle]

Has anyone got Kerrs of Linton/Lintoun/Lintoune/Lyntoune or Home of Haircarse?

I'm not sure where the Kerrs come from, whether it was Linton in Roxburghshire or in Peebleshire.


Sophia Kerr married Gilbert Ker of Greenhead, brother of Sir William Ker of Greenhead.
William Kerr
Mary Kerr married Robert Scott in Park in Liddesdale
Janet Kerr
Henry Kerr
Elizabeth Kerr married James Scott of Bowhill
Christian Kerr
Andrew Kerr
James Kerr
Julian Kerr married Francis Armstrong of Whithaugh in 1683

The parents of the above were Henry Kerr of Linton/Lintoun/Lintoune/Lyntoune and Margaret Home.

They are mentioned in Inquisitionum ad Capellam domini regis retornatarum, quae in public archives Scotland.

Berwick

Sept 11 1656
"Margaret Home spouse to Harie Kerr of Lintoun, heir of David Home of Haircarse, her father, - in the lands of Haircarse extending to 6 husband-lands (156 acres) within the earldom of March:- E.6l one part of lands called Haircarse extending to one 2 mercland within the parochin of Fogoe.-E.27s"

by the looks of the info you need to look at the Duke of Roxburghe (family name Ker(r)) Kelso - Linton in near Kelso and Duke of Buccleuch (family name Scott) Bowhill

Also the Ker(r)s at Fernihurst Jedburgh and the Lothian Estate

They are all related either by birth or marriage.  Most of the big families in the area are related in some way

Have fun

Thank you, terianne.

It seems to be the right family
I've found a book The baronetage of England from 1741, published again in 1771, which says that Mary the daughter of Benjamin Culpeper married Andrew Ker, the Laird of Lintoun in Scotland, of his grace the duke of Roxburough's family.

Rewcastle, I know it's been a long time since you've posted, but I'm also searching the same Kerrs of Linton and Francis Armstrong. I notice you say your email no longer works, but maybe one day you will read this and be able to reply. Maybe someone else knows how to get in touch with you. Fingers crossed.

Welcome to RootsChat Annston,

I am sorry but I spotted the note underneath Rewcastles profile to say that their email address given is no longer working so we are currently unable to contact them. Old members do get in touch every day updating their profiles I hope that this will happen for this member.

Regards

Sarah
