    3. List,       I found the info below, and am wondering if anyone knows the where abouts of Brigholm & Northfield, and any identifying info about Robert Johnstone of Newbie, and William Maxwell of Kirkhouse.       Also, does anyone know anything about King's Chaplains & Scotch Bishops?   Thanks,   Marc Archer   The Historical Families of Dunfriesshire and the Border Wars CHAPTER IX   The Kirk land of Kirkpatrick-Fleming which had belonged to Robert Johnstone of Newbie was conferred on William Maxwell of Kirkhouse by a royal charter dated Whitehall, Jan. 10, 1607; and Brigholme and Northfield, the property of the same Laird, were sold by his son Robert, in 1610, to Mr Patrick Howat, one of the King’s chaplains, afterwards a Scotch Bishop.
