P169 Memoir

In Sir Kohcrt Douglas' Pccrai/e 0/ Sco^/a/irf (Title Johnston, Jlarqnis of Annandale), it is recorded that "Two families of this surname styled themselves of that Ilk, or of Johnston, those of Annandale in the south, and of Caskiebcn in the north." The same author (" IJuronafji: 0/ Scotland," page 35), in treating of the family of Johnston of Caskiebcn, now of that Ilk, remarks:—"This is one of the most ancient families of the name of Johnston, and have always competed with the Johnstons of Annandale for the chiefship. Thoy have been long designed de eodfin, or of that Ilk ; which appellation generally denotes head or chief of a clan." [Since the death at Turnham Green, near London, in April, 1792, of George, third Jfarqnis of Annandale. many persons have claimed that Peerage : but as no one has been enabled to satisfy the Committee of Privileges of tlie ilousc of Lords of his right to succeed to the Marquisdom, and to the doubtful claim to the chiefship of the Johnston name,—the present Sir William Bacon Johnston, and his successors in the baronetcy, will doubtless be perndtted to enjoy, without molestation, the honour as well as profit accruing from the chiefship, at least until the Marquisdom of Annandale, &c., be revived in the persou of some individiml, who, in that character, may be entitled again to stir up the long unsettled question.] An old family chronicler, writing two hundred and fifty years ago, or ahont IGIO, thus narrates the circumstances under which Stephen de Johnston emigrated, from Dumfries-shire, to the North-eastern part of Scotland
