Excerpt from The Manuscripts, Vol. 3: Of the Duke of Roxburghe; Sir H. H. Campbell, the Earl of Strathmore; And the Countess Dowager of Seafield

The earliest of the name of Ker in record is Robert Ker, who appears in 1231 in connection with lands in the north of England. In 1296 several of the name of Ker in the counties of Peebles, Edinburgh, Ayr, and Stirling, did homage to King Edward the First at Berwick, and others are mentioned in connection with the shire of Aberdeen, but none of these can be claimed with certainty as the ancestor either of the family of Lothian or that of Roxburghe.
