Andrew Gray of Muirtoun appears to have been a yr. s. of Andrew, 2d Lord Gray, and next br. to Gilbert Gray, of Buttergask, ancestor of the then existing Lord. ( c ) The said William Grey (his son in law) bore, since 1 639, the style of Master of Grey-, a stipulation said iu Wood's " Douglas " (vol. i, p. 672. but not so stated iu vol. ii, p. 661), to be contained in the patent.

The admon. of 4 Jan. 1631/2, is granted to Sir John Baker, Bart [" nepot'i ex filio "] her grandson by the son, that of the 16th to her husband, Andrew, Lord [Dominus] Gray. There is, however an admon. 16 July 1633, of Sir Andrew Gray, Knight, of Hcderiffe, co. Surrey, granted to his relict dame, Margaret, which Andrew may possibly be the [Dominus] Andrew, of the admon. of Jan. 1631/2. (o) See note "c," next above, as to such being his designation. He appear to have received 232,000 marks from his father on this marriage with the heiress of Gray. He commanded a regiment, mostly raised at his own expense, at the battle of Worces- ter, in 1651, on behalf of King Charles II. He was killed in a duel near Loudon, Aug. 1660, by the Earl of Southesk [S.] having m. a second wife in April, 1654, by whom, however, he had no issue.
