WARDLAW OF PITREAVIE, BARONETS.

116. Sir Henry Wardlaw of Balmule and Pitreavie, 1st Bart., Chamberlain to Queen Anne of Denmark, was the second son of Chithbert Wardlaw in Balmule, and was b. 1565. How or when he obtained Balmule is not quite clear. He would seem, how- ever, to have acquired Balmule Mill from James Meldrum in 1596, and to have had a charter of confirmation from Queen Anne in 1598. He was appointed Chamberlain to the Queen Consort in 1603 ; acquired Pitreavie in 1606 ; was knighted by King James VI. about 1613 ; had Pitreavie erected into a barony in his favour in 1617 ; and was probably the Sir Henry Wardlaw who was created a baronet by King Charles I., 5 Mar., 1631 ; but he is not so styled in his will, and in a charter dated Jan., 1639, his son is described as " Sir Henry Wardlaw, Baronet, son of the late Sir Henry Wardlaw." I believe that in this case Burke has avoided the mistake of Playfair, Foster, and Lodge, who all make his son the first Baronet.

He m. Elizabeth,* dau. of Wilson,

an Edinburgh merchant, and had, with probably other issue, (1) Sir Henry his heir. (2) Mr. William Wardlaw of Balmule, of -which he had a charter from his father in

Catherine Wilson.
 * In the Dunfermline Register she appears as

1617. He was living 19 Oct., 1648, but was dead before 11 July, 1650 (Dunfermline Registers). He m. Christian, dau. of James Foulis, 3rd of Colinston. In the family record of the Foulises, George Foulis, 1st of Ravelstone, says, " Christian, my sister, Lady Balmule, died in Dunfermline, and was buried in Dunfermline, in Sir Henrie Wardlaw his Ille, callit his Buriall place." They had issue : (i.) Sir Henry, who suc- ceeded as 4th Bart, (ii.) George, living 31 May, 1655, when he appears as a witness to a sasine to his brother german Henry Wardlaw of Balmule. (in.) James, bapt. at Dunfermline 25 May, 1626. (iv.) Janet. (v.) Elizabeth, bapt. there 22 July, 1624; m., 1646, David Boswell of Balgonie. (3) John, ancestor of the Wardlaws of Abden. (4) Anna, a godchild of Queen Anne of Denmark, bapt. at Dunfermline 25 Nov., 1606 ; m. there, 19 June, 1623, William Lundie of that ilk.

III. Sir Henry Wardlaw of Pitreavie, 2nd Bart., son and heir of the preceding, from whom he had a charter of Pitreavie in 1617 on his marriage with Margaret, dau. of David Beaton of Balfour by his wife Margaret Wardlaw of Torrie. He had a charter of confirmation under the Great Seal in 1626, and d. at Dunfermline 2 March, 1653, being buried there. ".He dyed sud- denly, and, as it was said by some, the last word he spake was an oath " (John Lament's Diary,' p. 54). He had issue (1) Sir Henry, his heir ; (2) Elizabeth, who m. her ousin Sir Henry Wardlaw, 4th Bart.

IV. Sir Henry Wardlaw of Pitreavie, 3rd Bart., only son and heir. He is omitted

n the Peerages. He m. in the Kirk of 3eath, 9 June, 1653 (Dunfermline Regs.), Margaret, dau. of Sir John Henderson of ?ordall.* He had retour as h. to his father 11 Jan., 1654, and sasine 17 March following, jut was dead s.p. before 16 May that year.

V. Sir Henry Wardlaw of Pitreavie, th Bart., cousin and h. male. He likewise

s omitted in the Peerages. He succeeded lis father in Balmule between 19 Oct., 1648, ind 11 July, 1650, and had a precept from Chancery of Oliver Cromwell for infefting Henry Wardlaw of Balmule as heir male o Sir Henry Wardlaw of Pitreavie, his ather's brother's son," in the lands and arony of Pitreavie ("in our hands for one >rm "), 16 May, 1655, with instrument of asine 3 1 May following. He m. at Dunf erm- ne, 29 March, 1646, his cousin german
