Families covered: Cuninghame of Auchinharvie (Auchenharvie), Cuninghame of Baidland (Cunynghame of Bedland), Cuninghame of Craigance, Cunyngham of Glengarnock
| We hope to find more on the Cuninghams (or Conynghams) of Craigance. Paterson identifies the under-mentioned Robert as "faider-broder" (uncle) of William IV. From that we speculate that there were 3 Williams before him. | |||||||||||||||

| m2. Jean Kerr (dau of _ Kerr of Trihorne) confusion with the next generation? | |||||||||||||||
| Paterson reports that Crawfurd suggests that the sons of this marriage were Sir Robert of Auchinharvie and Gabriel (d Aldeton Moor) but that "This, however, does not accord with his latter-will." He reports the following children in addition to his successor John. We suspect that Paterson confused the generations and that this marriage was shown in error. | |||||||||||||||
