I have traced my 3g grandmother Katherin BARCLAY to Robert BARCLAY of Newton, Marykirk, and he is thought to be descended from Alexander a son of the last Laird of Mathers, the connection is made because the Newton BARCLAYS were buried in the aisle of the Aberlothnut (Marykirk) church. They also held the lands of Balameedie sp?. Alexander BARCLAY b. 1608 was brother to David BARCLAY b. 1610 who purchased the lands of Urie, David's son Robert was the Robert BARCLAY the noted Quaker who was known as the "the Apologist", he came to the American colonies for a short time. Anyone who can clear up Alexander's family history would be appreciated.
