Sir Andrew "of Inchmartine" Ogilvy
(Abt 1395 - Abt 1462)
}
== Biography ==
Andrew was born about 1395, third son to Alexander Ogilvy of Auchterhouse presumably by his wife, Janet Gray.
Andrew, was probably too young to join the call to repel the Highland force of Donald, Lord of the Isles at Harlaw in July 1411. His eldest brother George fell there Scotichronicon leaving the next brother, Patrick, as heir to Auchterhouse. NRS GD185/6/6/2 see [http://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/details.aspx?reference=GD185%2f6%2f6%2f1-5&st=1&tc=y&tl=n&tn=n&tp=n&k=&ko=a&r=GD185%2f6%2f6&ro=s&df=&dt=&di=y] The uncle of these brothers was Sir Walter Ogilvy of Lintrathen who is assumed to have gained that title through his first marriage to Isabel Durward. About 1405 –1410. Sir Walter married secondly to Isabel Glen a daughter of John Glen of Inchmartine and Balmuto by his wife Margaret Erskine. By 1420, Margaret Erskine had five grandsons and probably two granddaughters by this union. NRS GD16/3/7 see [http://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/details.aspx?reference=GD16%2f3%2f7&st=1&tc=y&tl=n&tn=n&tp=n&k=&ko=a&r=GD16%2f3%2f7&ro=s&df=&dt=&di=y]
It may have been about 1415 that Andrew Ogilvy, the son of Auchterhouse, married Margery Glen the elder sister of his uncle’s wife. Certainly they were married before 1426 as in her widowhood at Inchmartine, Margaret Erskine granted two acres of land at Pitmiddle to her eldest grandson Walter Ogilvy the son of Isabel Glen but made the entail of this to “the granter and her senior heirs, viz., those springing from Andrew of Ogilby and Marjory his wife.”
Andrew Ogilvy was designed of the Glen in 1427 when he witnessed the excambion by his mother-in-law, Margaret Erskine of Inchmartine with David Wemyss of that Ilk exchanging her part of Wemyss for David’s part of Inchmartine and Pitmiddle.Margaret Erskine died about 1430 and as eldest of her daughters, the title of Inchmartine passed to Marjory. Thus her husband was thereafter designed Andrew Ogilvy of Inchmartine. About 1400, Margaret Erskine��s younger sister, as co-heiress, had inherited half of the Inchmarine possessions which through her marriage were held by Wemyss of that Ilk. In turn, a generation later, Margery Glen’s younger sisters each had a one-third part of their mother’s portion. Thus at this stage Andrew held only one-sixth part of the estate but accumulated more in time.As Andrew Ogilvy of Inchmartine, he gained possession from John Chalmers in early 1432 of the Kirkland and a house called Chalmersland at Inchmartine.

He appears to have been knighted in the second half of the 1430’s as Andrew Gray and Andrew Ogilvy are described as squires when witnesses at the Tolbooth in Dundee in 1434 but by 1439, Andrew Gray of Fowlis and Sir Andrew Ogilvy were cited regarding the office of executors of their neighbour, the deceased Andrew Moncur of that Ilk.
