property for 600 merks made by them in favour of John liursyc and Barbara
Kyunaird, his wife, H Dec. 1605 {ib. 361). It seems doubtful if she was m.irried
till after 15 June IGO-t, as in a decree of that date ordering Kuphamc Kynnaird
to restore to Bessie Wedderbum " ane goldein ring with ane t\nxMS thairin," which
the latter had lent her, there is no reference to her hnsl)antl (I). B U. .317), and even
on 15 April 1605, at the inquest for serviuu; her heir to her inicle Walter (D.B.R.
35i ii), he is not mentioned. He is first named with her, ns her spouse, 6 Dec.
1605, in a decree which they obtained v. Agnes Wedderburn (wife of (Jilbcrt Uainsay,

residence that, 6 Nov. 1610, they resigned their property iiearS. Clement's to .\ndrcw
Kynnaird (DP. I!. 415), a transaction confirmed later, 27 Oct. 1615, by a procunitor
ou their behalf (//'. 387). They were in Dundee 27 June, 8July 1615, but were then
about to sail for Denmark, as David Wedderbum notes in his "Coin|it lluik " the
loan to Bessie of "ane treu flacon of a quarter to go with her to Denmark," as well
as his delivery to her of a procuratory and other documents on the latter date
(D.W. 9/). On 8 Nov. 1616 she was again returned heir to her uncle Walter, her
hu.sband being described as " burecss of Dundee, now iudweller in .\lsownuir"
(D.B.R. 397). This retour was repeated at Edinbur
