Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Robert Burns, Vol. 2 of 3: Genealogical and Historical Memoirs of the Poet, His Associates and Those Celebrated in His Writings The name Lawrie, otherwise Lowry and Laurie, is common to several parts of Scotland, but the chief sept bearing the designation is connected with Dumfriesshire. From Stephen Laurie, a merchant in Dumfries, who flourished in the reign of James VI., descended Sir Robert Laurie of Maxwelton, whose daughter Anna (familiarly Annie), born in 1682, is the heroine of a popular song. Springing from the Dumfriesshire sept, the Rev. John Lawrie ministered some time at Macosquin, in Ireland, and was from thence, in 1689, called to the parish of Penpont. Translated to Auchinleck in 1692, he there discharged the pastoral duties till his death in 1704. His son James, licensed to preach in 1709, was, on the 8th May 1711, ordained minister of Kirkmichael, in the county of Ayr. He died on the 7th August 1764, having fulfilled a ministry of fifty-four years. By his wife, Ann Ord (married 11th September 1714, died 28th December 1747), he had three sons and a daughter, Helen. The youngest son, George, became the Poet´s friend. George Lawrie was born at the manse of Kirkmichael on the 21st September 1727.
