PREFACE
THE ' Genealogy of the Knoxes ' referred to by Dr. M'Crie in his Life
of John Kno:c (Note A, 6th Ed. 1839), was in the possession of the
family of the Rev. James Knox, minister of Scone, fifth minister
in lineal descent from William Knox, first Protestant minister of
Cockpen, and nephew of the Reformer, who died in 1776.
In 1838
it was found in the repositories of Miss Charlotte Knox, the last survivor of his family.
Fresh material was collected by the late Rev.
David Crawford, D.D., Edinburgh, to 1857; and the Genealogy has
been brought down to the present year by his elder son, who acknowledges special indebtedness to the Rev. James Young's Life of Welsh
and to the Rev. Hew Scott's Fast£ Ecclesz"ce Scotz·cance, both of which
works have materially aided him in 1naking the present edition more
complete than it could otherwise have been. Parish Registers have also
been helpful, as in them additional descendants have been found.

GENEALOGY OF THE KNOXES
near Paisley, was the seat of an ancient family of the name
of Knox. The names of the elder pervices were Ochter, John, and
William. This estate continued in the name upwards of 500 years, being
of rent £500 per annum, a part whereof was Ladyland. Sometime before the Reformation a brother of the family, being laird of Gifford,
near Haddington,1 had two sons-William, merchant in Preston ; and
John, the Reformer. John, the Reformer, married Marjory, fifth daughter
of Richard Bowes of Aske and South Cowtown, by whom he had two sonsN athaniel, born at Geneva in May 15_57; and Eleazar, also born there in the
year following. Their mother died towards the close of 1560. Both matriculated at the University of Cambridge on 24th November 1572, a few days
after their father's death. Nathaniel attained the degree of A.B., and both
became fellows of St. John's College. Nathaniel died of tertian ague, in 1580,
during his curriculum. Eleazar, University Preacher, in 1587, became vicar
of Clacton Magna, in Essex, which office he held for four years, and, dying
in 1591, was interred in the chapel of St. John's College, Cambridge. By
their death the Reformer's family became extinct in the male line.
The Reformer, by his second marriage, in March 1564, with Margaret,
daughter of Andrew, Lord Stewart of Ochiltree, had three daughters, viz.:(1) Martha, who married Alexander Fairlie, eldest son and heir of Braid, a
property near Edinburgh. She died 1st December 1592. Issue-John,
William, Nathaniel, and Elspet. (2) Margaret, who married Mr. 2 Zachary

disputed by high authorities.

Pont, eldest son of Robert Pont, minister of St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh. He
was minister of Bower and Watten in Caithness, and died on 20th January
1619. Of their µiarriage there were two sons-Robert and Samuel. (3)
Elizabeth, who married Mr. John Welsh of Ayr, formerly of Kirkcudbright
(1594-1600), and previously of Selkirk (1589-1594). He began his ministry at
Ayr in 1600,1 and continued there for five years, labouring with ardent zeal,
persevering energy, and much success. A strenuous upholder of the rights and
spiritual independence of the Church, he took a prominent part in opposing
the policy of King James the v1., which, if carried out, would, he believed,
have bereft her of her sacred rights. His opposition led to his being
imprisoned in the Castle of Blackness, along with Mr. John Forbes, minister
of Alford. For refusing by a formal declinature the authority of the Privy
Council to judge in things spiritual, the king determined to bring the
prisoners in Blackness Castle and other places to trial for high treason, and
ultimately, in October 1606, Welsh and five others were sentenced to banishment from his dominions for life. On 7th November 1606, at 2 A.M., Welsh
and his associates sailed from Leith for France, after engaging in prayer for
protection. Welsh, soon after his arrival there, began to study the French
language, and so rapid was his progress that in a few months he was able to
preach in it with fluency, to the surprise of his friends, and also of the natives.
He was, in 1608, called to the Protestant congregation of J onsac, where he
remained eight years ; afterwards to that of N erac, and then to St. Jean
d'Angely. The Town Council of Ayr regularly remitted his stipend for
several years after his banishment. During his pastorate at St. Jean d' Angely
the place was besieged, in 1620, by Louis XIII., but the inhabitants gallantly
defending their city, a satisfactory treaty was concluded, and the king remained
for some time to refresh his army. Welsh was therefore strongly advised
not to preach on Sabbath, as it would give offence and might endanger his
life, Protestant worship in proximity to royalty being prohibited. But, nothing
daunted, he preached to an audience more numerous than usual. The
Duke of Espemon apprehended him at the close of the service by command of
the king, and took him to Louis to answer for himself, when a remarkable
1

interview took place. The king demanded how he presumed to preach
heresy whilst he was near. Welsh said, 'Sire, if your Majesty knew what I
preached you would command others and come yourself to hear it. I preach
salvation by Jesus Christ ; and sure I am yo~r conscience tells you your own
works will never merit salvation for you; I preach there is none on earth
above you, which none of those that adhere to the Pope will say.' 1 So
pleased was Louis with '\Velsh's fearless and decided reply that he exclaimed,
' Very well, father, you shall be my minister ! ' 1 assuring him also of protection in the discharge of official duty. The following year the town was again
taken, and Louis caused his house to be guarded, and himself and family
conveyed in safety to Rochelle at the nation's expense.
In 1622 evil times fell on St. Jean d'Angely. An edict was issued to
demolish its walls and fortifications, to abolish its local government, and to
divest it of its privileges as a Protestant city. Consequently Welsh's labours
in the preaching of the Gospel must have been in a great measure obstructed,
especially as the government of the city was in the hands of Father Arnoux
and Cardinal Richelieu, both despots and Romanists. These circumstances,
and the weak state of his health, resulting from his imprisonment in Blackness
Castle, and the labours and privations of his exile, brought upon him the infirmities attendant on old age, though he was but a little beyond his mid-life.
His physician advised, as the only hope of recovery, his return to Scotland,
so that he might breathe his native air. As he could not do this without
permission from the king, he earnestly besought him, entreating for liberty of
access to his native land. His request met with a peremptory refusal, but
the king said that if he chose he might come to London 'to be dealt with.'
On his arrival there the Dean of Winchester, by the king's command, waited
on him and had a conference with him. He endeavoured to extort from him
a general approval, however superficial, of the government of the Church, in
order to satisfy the king ; but Welsh made an open and honest confession of
the truth without reserve, and retracted not a hair's-breadth. The Dean reported the result of the interview to the king, and Welsh was, of course, denied
the liberty he so earnestly desired and so much needed. Intercession was

made for him by relatives of his wife, who were of the Court party, or not
inimical to it, but James turned a deaf ear to their entreaties. The last
appeal was made by Mrs. Welsh herself, who succeeded in obtaining an
interview with his majesty, when the following remarkable colloquy took
place. The king asked who was her father. 'John Knox' was the reply.
' Knox and Welsh ! ' exclaimed the king ; 'the devil never made sic a match
as that.' 'It's right like, sir,' she said, 'for we never speered [asked] his
advice.' His majesty next inquired how many children her father had left,
and if they were lads or lasses. 'Three,' she said, 'and they are all lasses.'
' God be thanked,' cried James, lifting up both his hands ; 'for if they had
been three lads, I had never buiked [enjoyed] my three kingdoms in peace.'
She urged him to give her husband his native air. 'Give him his native air!'
the king exclaimed; 'give him the devil!' 'Give that to your hungry
courtiers,' she indignantly rejoined. The king at last told her that, if she
would persuade her husband to submit to the bishops, he would grant her
request. Lifting up her apron and holding it towards his 1najesty, she heroically said, 'Please your majesty, I'd rather kep [receive] his head there!' 1
All hope of W elsh's being allowed to return to Scotland being finally abandoned, his friends at Court eraved permission for him to preach in London.
Even this was at first refused, but afterwards granted, when James was told
privately that Welsh's life was in imminent danger. He at once availed himself of the liberty thus allowed, and preached what proved to be his last
sermon. It was long, and delivered with fervour, but the effort proved too
much for his sinking frame, worn out by a life of toil and many privations. He
returned to his lodgings and died two hours afterwards, in the fifty-third year
of his age! He was buried on 4th April 1622, within the parish of St. Botolph,
Bishopsgate, London. His wife survived him nearly three years, and died at
Ayr in January 16 2 5. Of their marriage there were three sons, viz.-William,
Mr. Josias, Nathaniel, and two daughters. The younger daughter was called
Louise ; the name of the other is unknown. The elder daught_er died at J onsac
in September 1614. Louise was alive in 1625, as her name appears in her
mother's testament of that date, made when she was dying: no trace of her

appears afterwards. Of the sons, William, the oldest, married, but was accidentally killed in the Netherlands, where he had gone to practise as a physician. A
daughter survived him, named Margaret, and she dying, her uncle Josias was
served her heir. Josias, who was educated at Geneva and Glasgow, was appointed to the Professorship of Humanity in Glasgow University, but, for his
steadfast adherence to Presbyterian polity, he was deprived of that post by the
intolerance of the prelates. He afterwards became minister at Templepatrick
in Ireland, and died in 1634. He had many of his father's gifts and graces.
His son, Mr. John, became minister of Irongray, from which he was ejected in
1662 for nonconformity. He has been described as 'a godly, meek, humble
man, and a good popular preacher.' After the battle of Bothwell Brig he
went to London, where he died in 1679, in the fifty-fourth year of his age, and
twenty-eighth of his ministry. He breathed his last in the house of the
widow of Mr. Alexander Carmichael, who was minister of the earliest Scottish
Church in London. 1 His funeral was the largest ever seen in London, and was
attended by a vast number of ministers and persons high in rank. He was
buried in his grandfather's grave in Bishopsgate. Nathaniel, the third son,
died in early manhood. His end was very distressing. He was shipwrecked;
the ship sinking, he swam to a desolate rock, but only to die of starvation.
His body when found was in the attitude of prayer, on bended knee with outstretched hands ! 2
It is doubtful if any lineal descendants of the Reforn1er's three daughters
exist. His second wife, within two years after his death, married Andrew Ker
of Faldonsyde. She died about r 612. Her son, Mr. John, became minister
of Preston or Saltpreston (Prestonpans) in 1605-' An ornament and blessing
to the Church in troublous times.' 2
The following is the genealogy of William Knox, elder son of the laird

Mr. Carmichael wa previously minister of Pettinain, but was banished from Scotland
for nonconformity in 1672, and died in 1677, in his thirty-eighth year. His widow afterwards became the second wife of James Frazer of Brae, minister of Culross.

and had a son named William, who was the first Protestant minister of Cockpen (1567-1592). He had three sons(1) Mr. John, the eldest, who was minister of Lauder (1576-1582), afterwards of Melrose ( 1584-1623). Livingston characterises him 'as eminent
for gifts, grace, faithfulness, and success.' He gave the Archbishop of St.
Andrews a gentle admonition for the doctrine he set forth at the opening
of the Assembly in 1617; and the following year, when the Synod urged
obedience to the Articles of Perth, he, when preaching before his brethren in
Synod assembled, exhorted them, with tears, to adhere to the constitution
and privileges of the Church as established previous to the appointment of
bishops. He died in 16 2 3 in his sixty-eighth year. 1
(2) Mr. William, his successor in Cockpen (1592-1623), who died in his

year. He married Martha Borthwick. Issue-three sons and five daughters( 1) Robert; (2) Alexander; (3) William;
(1) Martha; (2) Elizabeth; (3) Rachel; (4) Jeane; and (s) Joane.
Mr. Robert succeeded him in Kelso (1633-1658). He preached before
Parliament in August, and before his majesty in September 1641, but suffered
a long imprisonment in 16 54 for remembering the king in prayer. He died
in his fifty-second year. 3 He married in 1638 Margaret, sister of John Ker
of Lochtour; and secondly, in 1643, Elizabeth, second daughter of Sir John
Murray of Philiphaugh, and by her had two sons and one daughter,
(1) Robert; (2) John; (1) Joane.
Sir John obtained an Act of Parliament in 1661 conferring the vacant
