Sir Gilbert Johnstone (abt. 1194- abt. 1240)

Sir Gilbert's father, John, whoever he was, must have been a person of some consequence, as his son takes a prominent place among those who formed the court of the great overlord. Sir Gilbert, whether as Gilbert, son of John,' or ' Gilbert of Jonistune,' appears along with William of Heriz (Herries), Udard of Hodelm (Hoddam), Hugh of Corri, Hugh Malleverer, and others of Norman name, or local proprietors who were bound by feudal service to attend their lord's court. At one of these courts we find Dunegal, son of Udard, probably a native laird, resigning in the hands of Bruce nearly a hundred acres of land in Warmanby and fifty in Annan for the use of Gilbert, son of John. This writ, for various reasons, appears to be the earliest in which Gilbert's name occurs, and from the number of vassals present, and the wide range of country which their names suggest, it not improbably represents one of the first courts held by William Bruce as Lord of Annandale. It may reasonably be assigned to a date not long after 1191. In another charter, about the same period, Gilbert again appears as son of John,' but in a third charter by William Bruce to Ivo, now styled of Kirkpatrick, Gilbert is styled ' de Jonistun.' William Bruce was, in 1215, succeeded by his son Robert, who probably not long afterwards held a curia at which Gilbert, son of John, was present. In 1218, however, he appears not as a mere vassal, but as one of seven sureties or cautioners that his lord, Robert Bruce, should fulfil the terms of an agreement made between him and his mother, and her second husband Patrick, Earl of Dunbar. In a charter by the same Robert, before practically the same persons, he is designed ' Gilbert de Joneston. At a later date, in two writs of the same granter, he is styled Sir Gilbert of Jonestone, but the year cannot be exactly ascertained. It must be before 1245, when Robert Bruce, the fifth Lord of Annandale, died, but may be much earlier. This appears to be the last reference to Sir Gilbert of Johnstone, and no evidence bearing on his wife or family has been discovered, but he was apparently succeeded by his son, also called Sir Gilbert de Johnston.
