Notes:

THIS family draws its original descent from one De Warren, of a family of that name in Durham, or the north-riding of Yorkshire; Robert de Warren settled his family in East-Lothian, or in the county of Hadington, and he and his descendants, by a sudden transposition, came to use the name of Warrender, [as at present].

Sir George Warrender, of Lochend, married Margaret Cunninghame, a relation of Sir David Cunninghame's, of Milncraig, Bart. of Scotland, and by her mother descended of the family of M*Dowal, of Frewch
