CORRIE ¹

  Notes:

A group of 12 gravestones in the Kirkyard of Terregles, 2.5 miles west of Dumfries, provides the earliest evidence of the Corrie family of Kirkcudbrightshire. They appear to have been tenants of farms at Clunie and Terreglestown, both in the Parish of Terregles. They were probably related to the Corrie family who had been prominent landowners in Dumfriesshire, but who lost their estates in the late 15th Century after siding with the Douglases against James III of Scotland.

The following individuals were probably closely related, and may have been brothers. William (qv) who farmed at Clunie; Andrew who also farmed at Clunie and identified his wife and three children in his will of 1684; Alexander who was a tenant farmer in Terregles and identified a daughter in his will of 1688; Edward the brother of Alexander; and John.

Corrie married.
