* The origin of the name Robertson was from Robert, a Teutonic personal name of great
antiquity, introduced into England about the time of the conquest. The Robertsons of
Struan, Co. Perth, are unquestionably one of the oldest families in Scotland, descending
both from the MacDonalds, Lords of the Isles, and from the ancient Earls of Athol. The
surname is derived from Robert, son of Duncan [de-Atholia] who arrested the murderers of
James I. and for that service received a royal charter erecting his lands into a free barony A.
D. 1451. Alexander his son adopted the surname of Robertson which became persistent.
t Proby was an old English family. One branch was long seated at Elton Hall in Co. of
Huntingdon. John Proby of this family was in 1789 Earl Carysfort in the Peerage of Ireland.
Their armes were " Erm. on a fess, gules, a lion passant, or." Motto, " Manus haec inimica
