It is through the marriage in 1759 of Patrick Graham (3rd of Lymekilns) to Margaret
Urie, grand-niece of John Barns (4th of Kirkhill), that the Barns name came
to be connected to the Graham name. In 1789 that John Barns entailed the estate
of Kirkhill, near Laigh Fenwick in Ayrshire. By that entailment he ensured that
anyone who wanted to inherit the estate would have to take on the Barns name
(and coat of arms). By doing so he successfully ensured that the Barns name
continued to be associated with the estate. After he died the estate passed
to a grandson of his younger sister, Jean, to James Stevenson (who obtained military
honours in the Spanish Campaign against Napoleon). He changed his name to Stevenson-Barns.
He died without children. The entailment led the estate then to pass to a great-grandson
of Margaret, the elder of John Barns' sisters - Patrick Graham, 6th of Lymekilns, who changed his name to Graham-Barns.
Patrick's brother John, who succeeded him, decided to put the names the other
way around and became the first Barns-Graham.

BG family knowledge of the Barns ancestry has improved over the years. Click
here for a page (17KB) that shows how that knowledge has evolved. One result
of this evolution is that, whereas Allan Graham Barns-Graham, 8th of Lymekilns,
thought that he was the 7th of Kirkhill and his son Allan, 9th of Lymekilns,
thought that HE was the 7th of Kirkhill, we now think that they were the 8th
and 9th of Kirkhill respectively.
