James Muirhead, M.A., and George
Grier, M.A., were severally authorised
by the Presb. to preach in the North-West
Quarter 13th Dec. 1589 to 18th Dec. 1599,

JAMES BALFOUR, son of David B. of
15Q8 Powis, grandson of Alexander B. of
Inchrye, Fife, and brother of Captain
John B. of Pitcorthy (Peg. of Deeds, xl.,
272); adm. 19th May 1598. Hesitating to
offer public thanksgiving for His Majesty's
deliverance from the Gowrie Conspiracy,
he was inhibited from preaching under pain
of death, and two days after he left the
city. Called before the Privy Council, he
declared himself satisfied of the truth of
the story. By the continuance of the Royal
displeasure, he was ordered to be trans-
ported, 16th May 1601, yet he continued in
his charge. He was summoned to London
(with seven others) 21st May 1606. After
various ineffectual conferences they were
handed over to the charge of different
bishops of England, Balfour being con-
signed to the care of John, Bishop of
Norwich. On 8th March 1607 he peti-
tioned the Privy Council to be sent home,
when he was ordered to be confined to
Cockburnspath and Alford. He returned
and was preaching in the city, when he
was again removed by a royal warrant,
20th Jan. 1610, but the city continued
payment of his stipend until 1st May
1613, when he died. He marr. (1) in
1575, his cousin once removed, Barbara,
youngest daugh. of Richard Melvill of
Baldowy, min. of Maryton, who survived
him, and had issue—James (G. P. Sas.,
liii., 385), servant to Lord Haddington
;
Andrew, min. of Kirknewton ; Nicolas
(marr. George Gordon of Lawtoun : G.
P. Inhib., First Series, vi., 98), who was
threatened to be banished from the city
in 1620 for entertaining conventicles in
her house : (2) 5th July 1595, Isobel or
Elizabeth King (buried 4th Dec. 1643),
widow of Robert Danielston, tailor,
burgess of Edinburgh (Edin. Inhib., viii.,
