  • Notes 
    • Career & Family Life
      William Edmonstone succeeded his father c. 16181. He subsequently settled in Ireland and built the house of Redhall. He married Isobel Haldane, daughter of John Haldane of Gleneagles and had 5 sons and 2 daughters:

      1. Archibald, his heir
      2. James, married his cousin Jean Cunningham
      3. John, married his cousin Elizabeth Edmonstone
      4. Robert, d. unm
      5. Andrew, d. unm
      6. Helen, married John Dolway and secondly Col. James Wallace
      7. Jean, who married Sir Robert Adair of Kinhilt


      From Genealogical Account1:
      It is stated that the first Scottish Presbyterian Minister introduced into Ireland was invited by him [William Edmonstone], and located in his parish of Broadisland, in 1611.
      I think this refers to Edward Bryce, another direct ancestor.
