On 3 January 1584-85 he had from his father a grant of the provision of the College Church of Seton, vacant through the decease of Mr. Thomas Raith, last Provost thereof. On 15 December 1602 he had a letter of gift of a reward 'for his trouble and charges in bringing of certain craftsmen cloth-makers for the great benefit of his native country.' On 15 June 1611 a commission issued appointing him and three others to be justiciaries, with jurisdiction in the Border counties; and on 1 July following he was named member of a joint commission for the settlement and maintenance of peace on the Borders between Scotland and England.
