A Scottish writer, BUCHANAN, of Aughmar, | who published a work at Glasgow in 1723, states that the founder of the MAC AUSLANES in Scotland, was one BUEY ANSELAN, son of O'Kyan, King of Ulster, who (when the Danes, to avenge the Massacre of Limerick, persecuted and destroyed numbers of the Irish,) passed over to Scotland with a body of followers in or about the year 1016, and that the said Anselan, having given great assistance to MALCOLM II. in his wars, was rewarded by that king with grants of lands of considerable value, and a splendid coat of arms. (The same monarch conferred about the same time similar grants upon the family of Keith, and several others.) Buchanan goes on to state that the territory so conferred was called the "lands of Buchanan;" but that the tradition is, that this BUEY ANSELAN married an heiress of the name of Denniestoun, and in her right acquired those lands. He establishes the fact, however, that Anslan took up his abode there as "Buey Anselan, Dominus de Buchanan," and that his successors were all Lairds of Buchanan. Of these feudal chiefs he gives a regular dynasty, beginning in the year 1016, with the said ANSELAN; the second laird, in 1060, he denominates JOHN MAC AUSLANE, and he proceeds until he extinguishes the line with the last of the lairds, John, who flourished in 1682, leaving an only daughter and heiress. Such is Buchanan's descent of the Buchanan family, the younger sons of the different lairds of which founded the numerous branches now bearing the name. His statements, however, concerning the branch which always adhered to the designation of MAC AUSLANE are not so clear: the first of those barons to be found, he says, is one MALCOLM, whose name was inserted as a witness to a charter, granted by Malcolm, Earl of Lennox, of the lands of Luss, to John, Laird of Luss, about the year 1250, the signature to that charter being "Malcolm, Baron Mac Auslane." The next he mentions is one "Mac Beth, Baron Mac Auselane," of whom there are various traditional accounts as to his stature and uncommon strength. He lived about the year 1400. The third baron was Alexander, “last Baron Mac Auselane," whose only daughter married one of the Campbells, after whose death she sold her inheritance to Sir Humphry Colquhoun, of Luss, her superior. Buchanan proceeds then to observe "that the best account of the name of Mac Auselane are now settled in the counties of Tyrone and Derry, in the north of Ireland," and that those are descended from "the Baron Mac Auslane who went out of the parish of Luss, about the latter period of the reign of King JAMES VI." From this baron the family before us claims descent. BARON M'AUSLANE, of Glenduglas, came over to Ireland in the latter end of King JAMES I.'s reign, about the year 1600, and left two sons, ANDREW and John. Of the younger the line is now extinct. The elder, ANDREW M'AUSLANE, had a son, ALEXANDER M'AUSLANE, who served in the army in Ireland before the year 1649, as appears by the auditor-general's accounts of the period, wherein the said Alexander is stated to be entitled to a share of the forfeited and debenture lands, and to a share of money as one of the adventurers and soldiers before the rebellion of 1641. He settled in the county of Tyrone, and was at his death possessed of the manors of Ardstrath, Mountfield, and others. Genet, daughter of Edward Hall, esq. of New Grange, in the county of Meath, and had issue, OLIVER, his successor. He m. OLIVER M'AUSLAND, esq. styled of Strabane, in the vicinity of which town he resided. This was a distinguished person, being no less than twelve times returned to the Irish parliament by the borough of Strabane. In the parliament of 1695 he is entered on the Rolls as "Oliverius Mac Causland, Armiger;" and served the office of sheriff for the county of Tyrone in 1687. He appears likewise to have held some military commission, as we find it stated, under "Castlestewart," in Lodge's Peerage of Ireland, that he had been employed upon a mission of importance by Lord Mountjoy and Colonel Lundy. He m. Jane, daughter of James Hamilton, esq. and sister of the Rev. Andrew Hamilton, and had issue, JOHN, his successor. Catharine, m. to John Leslie, esq.
