VHIR ALEXANDER DE STRIUELING OF CADDER,
^^
KNIGHT (1272-1300). Alexander subscribed the
Ragman's Roll in 1292 under the designation " del
conte de Lanark." Crawford, in his remarks on that roll, says
that "this Alexander," from vouchers which cannot be called in
question, is head of the family of Stirlings of Cadder, near Glas-
gow. Alexander's eldest son was
VI JOHN DE STRIVELING (1300-1333). In 1272, Sir
Alexander de Striveling granted a charter of the church lands
of Alveth to Saint Servan of Alveth, which is witnessed by
" Johanne filio meo primogenito." John was killed and his cousin,
also named John de Striuelin, was taken prisoner at the battle of
Halidon Hill, July 19, 1333, when 10,000 Scots were killed.
VII SIR JOHN OF STRIVELYNE OF CADDER AND
REGORTON, KNIGHT (1333-1408). He is presumed to have
been the son of John, who was slain at Halidon Hill. He in-
herited the lands of Cadder which had belonged to his great-
great-grandfather, Sir Alexander, the sheriff, and also the lands
of Regorton, in Perthshire. Sir John died in the year 1408 and
was succeeded in the lands of Cadder and Regorton by his son
VIII WILLIAM OF STRIVELYNE OF CADDER AND
REGORTON (1408-1432). He obtained from Matthew, Bishop
of Glasgow, with the consent of the chapter, a charter of the
lands of Cadder, which is not dated but must have been about
the end of the year 1408. William of Strevylling, Lord of Cader,
is a witness to a charter of the lands of Ballynconach and others,
by Duncan, Earl of the Levenax (Lennox), to his " laffwell sone
Donald of the Levenax," dated July 22, 1421.
