JOHN JOHNSTONE, of Mylnefield, had with his ancestors the Johnstones of Newby, enjoyed the barony of Mylnefield, which he held probably from the Baron Johnstone, under whose family he served in the military expeditions to which they were frequently called out in those hostile times. King JAMES was hardly seated on the throne of England, when the laird of Mylnefield felt

the rod of oppression, which was then heavily laid upon the necks of the vassals to the Scots lords. He was called upon to produce the writings by which he held his lands: he gave the same answer which the Scots barons had formerly given to Robert Bruce, when the king for better reasons made the same demand. John of Mylnefield answered be held them by his sword, but that title having

now lost its usual value and importance, he was compelled to surrender his lands to the Lord Johnstone, his chief and superior. In 1624 John Johnstone purchased of John Galloway, in Annan, the lands of Gallabank. His son and successor,

GEORGE JOHNSTONE, m. Agnes Graham, of Dumfries, and had a very considerable sum of money settled upon him, which shews that John of Mylnefield was, for the times, a man of opulence. His only son,
