Thus, the only mention in the Paul, Sir James Balfour. Scots Peerage:founded on Wood's ed. of Sir Robert Douglas's Peerage of Scotland; containing an historical and genealogical account of the nobility of that kingdom [Vol 5 (1904-1914, p. 113) Edinburgh: D Douglas] record is:
In 1600 both he [Sir Robert Gordon of Glen] and Gilbert Kennedy of Bargany claimed the office of Admiral on the south-west coast, with the right to hold courts at Lochryan, and on 26 Feb they were charged to give assurances for the keeping of the peace. (Citing P. C. Reg., vi. 84.)
Vol II lists only the 1st thru 4th, with the later going extinct in 1736.
