• Notes

  Andrew Knox, who entered into holy orders, was minister of Paisley after the reformation , and was promoted in 1603 to the Bishopric of the Isles, by privy seal 12th August 1610, and was translated to the sea of Raphoe in Ireland , was soon after called into the Privy Council, and the 22nd June 1619 was made a free denizen ( as was his Irish son ) of that Kingdom, and died 7th March 1632. He had one son Thomas Knox, who succeeded his father and died before 1628 without issue, hence there is no male issue of the Bishop of Raphoe, but many honourable families in Scotland are said to have descended from his daughters.
