An Account of the Parishes of Fintry, Balfron, Fillearn, Brymen,Buchanan, and Kilmarnock.
By John Gutherie Smith (F.S.A Scot.) (Author of "The Parish ofStrathblane"). 1896, James Maclehose and Sons (Publishers to theUniversity). Glasgow.
He was knighted by one of the James's, Kings of Scotland (probably James VI) and married Margaret Ogilvy, daughter of James, fourth Lord Ogilvy, and by her had a family of three sons and one daughter, David, William, and James; their daughter Alison married John Crichton of Innernyte.
A letter dated at the Castle of Stirling 1584, bearing the autograph of King James VI, states, that understanding Sir David Graham of Fintry, Knight, is "aiget and subject to divers infirmities and sickness of body where withal he may not sustain the paines and travels of our wars without extreme personal danger," the king, with consent of his Secret Council, grants permission to David to remain at home provided he sends his sons for him accompanied by his usual armed attendants.
