Biography

The ROYS are mentioned as the last cadets of the family of LENNY. There was a talzie of the estate of LENNY in favour of JOHN BUEY (Lady ARNPRIOR'S grandfather) who succeeded to John third Laird of LENNY who died without issue. He, JOHN BUEY & Alexander ROY and Robert ROY his brothers were cousins germane and grandsons to Robert second Laird of LENNY, Robert third being their cousin. The ROYS were mentioned in that talzie as next in succession to JOHN BUEY & his male heirs. Alexander ROY distinguished himself much in his time in the manner & prowess of his day. He died of the plague. He made his own grave in the churchyard of KILMAHOG and prepared his bed on its brink that he might be deposited in it without danger to his friends by them keeping to the windward. I believe the Plague raged here towards the close of the reign of King James the Sixth. Alexander left one son called John.
