"Alexander (Lauder) is noted in various documents as 'of Gunsgreen' (near Eyemouth) and 'Portioner [landowner] of Coldingham', both in Berwickshire. A Caution with sureties of 1000 merks each was issued on 19th June,1607 by the Privy Council, against several of the Home family of Whiterig, Hutton and Lawfield, not to harm Alexander Lauder in Coldingham.[8The Registers of the Privy Council of Scotland vol.vii, Edinburgh, 1885.] A further entry date 21st December 1611 quoting the same parties indicates the feud was continuing.
A long contract detailing sales of feued properties is dated at Edinburgh, Broxmouth and Gunsgreen, 2nd and 3rd July and 8th September 1614, between Lady Anna Home, one of the two daughters and heiresses of the deceased George Home, Earl of Dunbar. Numerous other Home family relationships are also mentioned. Alexander Lauder, portioner of Coldingham, and Christian Clapperton his [second] spouse, are invested in the four husbandlands [104 acres] of Gunsgreen, part of the lands of Flemington (no.385). This was ratified by Sir George Home of Manderston, knight, on the 18th November 1618, Alexander Lauder noted as in possession (no.387).[9Historic Manuscripts Commission, Report on the Manuscripts of Colonel David Milne Home of Wedderburn Castle, N.B., London, 1902, pps:183-4.] There is an armorial seal of Alexander Lauder of Gunsgreen dated 1619.
