    Notes:

    De Duglas, de Douglas or just Douglas?
    Nicholas de Douglas became the first Larid of Mains. The lands of Mains which were in Dumbartonshire, were acquired by his marriage to Janet Galbraith in September 1373. He was also the first Laird of Dounteray and Wakefield

    The arms of Douglas of Mains were not registered with the Lord Lyon King of Arms until 1672, however it was known to have been used for many years before that date.

    The Arms for the Cadet Branch of Mains are as follows;

    Argent a Fesse Chequy Gules and of the first between three Mullets in Chief Azure and a man's Heart in base proper

    Crest-An Oak Tree Proper

    Nicholas married Janet Galbraith, Of Gartconnell in Sep 1373. Janet (daughter of William de (of Gartconnel) Galbraith) was born before 1373; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Janet Galbraith, Of Gartconnell was born before 1373 (daughter of William de (of Gartconnel) Galbraith); and died.

    Notes:

    William de Galbraith of Gartconnel, as well as inheriting estates, acquired in addition Achrefmoltoune in Strathblane, which is presumed to be the modern Arlehaven (see Guthrie Smith's "Strathblane," p. 76). His lands were divided up between his co-heiress, one of whom, Janet, married a Douglas and became possessed of Mains, and other lands; and the other heiress married a Logan and inherited Gartconnel and other lands. What these other lands were may become apparent if we look at the Retour in 1680 of Charles II as heir to the Earldom of Lennox. The following places are included in the Retour:? The 20 mark land of Balvey, Fergustoune, Gartconnell, Ledcamroch, Bannochtoune, Camron, Camquhill and Balquhinings Logans; and the 12 pound lands of Maynes, Little Balvey, Ledcamroch, Camron, Camquhill, Balquhining and Harleheavin Douglas. (Finnart also seems to have passed to the Douglasses as, in 1501, William Douglas of Ledcamcroch sold these lands to John Colquhoun of Luss.) From these names we can gather that William Galbraith of Gartconnel, the father of the co-heiresses, had inherited (i.) Gartconnel (Cartonvenach) from Maurice (son of Gillespie); (ii.) Buchmonyn (Balfunning) from Arthur de Galbraith, and (iii.) Camquhill from Patrick Galbraith.

    {All this evidence leads us to the fairly safe conjecture that} William Galbraith of Gartcolmel was the son of Patrick Galbraith, the son of Arthur.

    Children:
    1. 4. James (2nd Laird of Mains) Douglas died about 1402 in Scotland.
