About the year 1385, was a 'son of the Laird of Blebo. Andrew Traill. The great-grandfather of the writer of these Sermons, was a younger brother of the then proprietor: he embraced the profession of arms, and served with distinction as a colonel in the wars of the Nether lands against Spain, and afterwards under the young King of Navarre, better known as Henry IV. Of France.
