Personal Info
In 1664 he was retoured heir to his father in the whole lands and barony of Blair. He took an active part in those troublesome times; and though he was so much esteemed by the court party, in the reign of the Stuarts, as to be put in the commission of the peace, in Ayrshire, for holding courts on the Covenanters, yet he came early into the Revolution, was a member of the convention of the estates on the 16 March 1689, and one of the committee for settling the government; and, in April thereafter, was named a commissioner concerning a proposed treaty of union between the two kingdoms; which, however, did not take place at that time. In the same year he raised a troop of horse, in support of the Revolution, and went with it to the county of Perth; but was surprised by Dundee, and carried prisoner to the Highlands, where he died in the same year.6
