1. | Charles Congalton, of Congalton died in Jan 1742. Notes: The feudal barony of Congalton gave its name (or vice versa) to a very ancient family that subsisted in a part of Dirleton parish for twenty generations in the male line. The first on record, Robert de Congaltoun, witnessed a charter of Richard de Morville, Constable of Scotland, circa 1162. However, whether or not the family were then the lairds is called into question by the burial at North Berwick in May 1311 of Sir Robert de Lawedre (Lauder), where the inscription stated: "here lies the good Robert Lauedre the greate Laird of Congaltoun and The Bass Maii MCCCXI". Charles married Janet Lauder in 1702. Janet (daughter of Sir John (1st Bart of Fountainhall) Lauder) was born in 1671; died in 1751. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
