On  June  11,  1513,  Lord  Home  granted  a  precept
for  infefting  her  in  life  rent  and  John  Home,  their  son
and  his  heirs,  in  fee,  in  the  hands  of  Innerallon,  in  the
shrine  of  Stirling.  This  grant  was  made  on  account
of  the  great  love  and  favor  which  Lord  Home  bore
to  the  said  Katherine  Stirling  and  their  son.  On
Aug.  24,  1541,  Alexander,  Master  of  Home,  with  con-
sent of  George,  Lord  Home,  his  father  and  his  cura-
tors, granted  a  charter  to  the  said  John  Home,  and
his  heirs,  whom  failing,  to  Andrew  Home,  brothers-
german  to  the  Master  and  the  heirs  whomsoever
of  the  latter,  of  the  half  of  the  lands  of  Innerallon
and  on  this  charter  John  Home  was  infeft.  In  1557
the  lands  fell  to  the  Crown  on  the  death  of  John
Home,  and  Queen  Mary  granted  a  presentation  in
favor  of  James  Striueling  of  Keir  and  Janet  Chis-
holme,  his  wife,  in  joint  fee  and  the  heirs  of  James,
of  the  half  of  the  lands  of  Innerallon,  fallen  in  her
Majesty's  lands  by  the  death  of  John  Home,  therein
designed  of  Hutounhall,  a  bastard,  without  lawful
heirs  of  his  body  or  without  making  a  disposition
thereof  in  his  lifetime.
This  presentation  was  made  for  the  purpose  of
having  the  presentees  entered  to  the  lands  by  the
Superior,  Alexander,  Lord  Home,  who  refused  to
obey  the  same.  He  refused  also  to  obey  a  third  pre-
cept under  the  Quarter  Seal  and  a  fourth  precept  was
issued  in  1570,  directed  to  the  sheriff  of  Stirling  for
enforcing  infeftment,  in  respect  Lord  Home  had  re-
fused to  do  so.  The  sheriff  accordingly  infeft  James
Striveling  and  Janet  Chisholme.
