Andrew of Haining (1605/6'9641) son of Andrew of that Ilk and his 2nd wife Violet Douglas. He was said to be a 'favourite son' of his father. Along with his father and mother, he has one of the earliest legible panels in the Riddell aisle in Lilliesleaf kirkyard. The initials 'I.S.' accompany his, probably those of his wife, who was Jean Stewart of Traquair (after his death his widow married Sir William Douglas of Kelhead). He was probably the 'Andro Riddell' who signed the 'Confessions of Faith' in Hawick in 1638. In 1638 he was appointed Sheriff of Selkirkshire. He was appointed Commissioner to Parliament (i.e. M.P.) for Selkirkshire (or 'the forest') 1639'9641. His daughter Violet was the 3rd wife of Sir Robert Dalzell of Glenae. He was succeeded by his son John of Haining. He is buried in the Riddell Aisle at Lilliesleaf, with the inscription 'whose life was short and good'

Andrew Riddell who married firstly Agnes daughter of Sir George Ramsay of Dalhousie, MC 1 Feb 1667, and secondly Violet Douglas, said by Douglas' Baronage to be a daughter of William Douglas of Pumpherston. There are quite a number of charters under the Great Seal relating to this generation. Andrew had by Agnes Ramsay an heir John, later first baronet, also James 2nd son and Walter. Andrew had, by Violet Douglas, his second wife, a favourite son called Andrew, on whom he settled Haining, which continued in this branch of the family till early last century, when it was sold to the second son of Pringle of Clifton. Andrew of Haining married a Stewart of Traquair, and dying young, his widow married secondly Sir Willian Douglas, ancestor of the Marquis of Queensberry. His son and successor, John Riddell of Haining, was Sheriff Principal, and M.P. for Selkirkshire, and his grand-daughter, Magdalene Riddell, who married David Erskine of Dun, after succeeding to Haining, sold it, and the marquis of Ailsa, as the heir of the Erskines, now represents the Riddell's of Haining.
