Sir John Baillie is mentioned as being appointed one of the arbitrators to hear and determine upon the claims of the competitors for the Crown of Scotland in 1292, whose name and seal, seven stars with the motto " Quid clarius astris," is attached to that document. Tradition says that on a certain occasion one of the family single-handed killed a wild boar, and relieved his sovereign from danger, ■whereupon he was desired henceforth to bear nine stars, which all his descendants do, but some of them have the boar's head for a crest, and others the arm and seymitar, being the weapon with which the deed was done. SiE William Baillie, of Lamington, co. Lanark, by Marian, his wife, daugliter of Sir John Seton, of Seton, had a numerous issue. The three eldest sons, it is said, had maimed a clergyman, who had been taken into the house as tutor, for a grievous offence which he had committed in their family, of which injury he died. The power of the Church at this time being great in Scotland, the three brothers were (continues the tradition) obliged to fly. The eldest, who settled in Inverness, is stated to have fought at the battle of Brechin, and to have been for his services rewarded with the lands of Dunain and Torbreck, part of the castle lands of Inver- ness; from him springs the family of Doch- four, and its derivative branch of Bedoastle and Tarradale (see Burke's Landed Qentri/ of Q-reat Britain and Ireland'). The second, of whom presently, settled in Ireland, and the third went to the Isle of Anglesey, and founded the family of which the Marquess of Anglesey is a descendant. The second brother was Alexawdee Baillie, who settled in Ire- land, at Innishargie, co. Down, in the reign of James I., about the year 1620, and d. 1687. He had issue, John (Capt.), of whom presently; and Edward, who settled at Ring- dufferin, co. Down, and was ancestor of the family of Bailie of Ringdufferin (see Burke's Landed Oentry of Great Britain and Ire- land). The eldest son, Capt. John Baillie, who was h. 1623, d. 1687, and was s. in Innishargie by his eldest son, James Baillie, Esq., who was h. 1653, and d. 1710. He was s. by his second son, John Baillie, Esq. of Innishargie, 6. 1697, who m. Jane, daughter of Matthew Forde, Esq. of Seaforde, co. Down, and d. 1759. He had issue, I. James, who sold Innishargie.
