James Galbraith, 13th Chief & 7th of Culcreuch

James GALBRAITH Surname: Galbraith Given Name: James Sex: M Birth: 1455 in Stirlingshire, Scotland Death: 1512 in Scotland

Note:

   13th Clan Chief

   7th of Culcreauch

Thomas Galbraith's lands of Culcreuch, Mulig, Bannachar and others

   were forfeited, but were soon restored to his successor, James Galbraith,

   who was without doubt his brother. James Galbraith had evidently taken

   part in the rising which had such serious consequences for Thomas

   Galbraith; but he escaped, and his name appears in the Remission, dated

   12th February, 1489-90, to Matthew Stewart, son of John, Earl of Lennox,

   and many others; and in the following June, 1490, he appears as James

   Galbraith of Culcreuch in a sasine to Matthew Stewart of the Earldom of

   Lennox, the Lordship of Darnley, and the lands of Galston; and, again,

   in a sasine to the same Matthew in the year 1511. He is included as one

   of the heirs of entail in a Royal Charter to Robert, 3rd Lord Lyle, in

   1495, which would seem to prove that he was son of Andrew Galbraith,

   who was in the entail of Robert, 1st Lord Lyle, and, therefore, brother

   of Thomas Galbraith, who was hanged in 1489.

James (1458-1511, earlier histories thought James was son to Thomas, as Thomas was but 36 when hung) had five sons (Andrew II-the next chief; Walter, Humphrey, Thomas and Robert and two daughters Janet and Margret m. William Cockburn).

   It is Janet who married MacFarlane, her brother Chief Andrew was alive in August 1528 but dead by 1530, as brother Humphrey was appointed tutor to the next chief, Andrew's minor son James. [1]
