Archibald ACHESON67 was born about 1580 in Edinburgh, Mid Lothian, Scotland. He died on Sep 9, 1634 in Markethill, Armagh, Irland. Was the First Baronet of Gosford at Gosford Castle, Market Hill, Ireland
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558 to 1603) the province of Ulster in North Ireland rebelled and remain in a state of rebellion until after the Queen's death in 1603.
James I of England who was also James IV of Scotland (1603 to 1660) reigned after Elizabeths's death. James put down the rebellion early in his reign. Lands were confiscated from the Irish who were leaders of the rebellion and then parcelled out to loyal British adherents. Among them were Sir Archibald and Sir Henry Acheson, brothers.
In the year 1610 the British Crown granted to Sir Archibald and Sir Henry large tracts of land in County Armagh in North Ireland and shortly thereafter the brothers moved to Ireland to occupy the lands acquired. They were accompanied by their cousin John Acheson though he did not participate in the land grant. In 1612 Sir Archibald was granted additional lands in County Caran and during this same time frame he purchased some of Sir Henry's land. It was about this same time that Sir Archibald was created the 1st Baronet of Gosford, Gosford Castle, Market Hill, County Armagh, Ireland. On January 1st 1628 Sir Archibald was created Baronet of Nova Scotia where he acquired another tract of land.
He was a cadet at "Acheson of East Lothian". He was admitted to Practice Law; became Solicitor General; a Senator of Justice, and for many years was the Secretary of State for Scotland.
[NI016] Archibald held the title Esquire (a Knight) and in the year 1610 got a large land grant in Co. Armagh, Ire with his brother Sir Henry. In 1612 they got another grant in Co. Cavan. Was successively Solicitor General for Scotland; then Senator of Justice (with title Lord of Glencairnie); and an Extraor. Lord of Session. On June 27, 1628, Archibald was appointed Master in Chancery after which he was Secretary of State of Scotland under the King Charles I, which office he held until his death. On Jan. 1, 1628, Archibald (then of Glencairny/Clancairney, Markethill) was created Baronet of Nova Scotia with a land grant of 16,000 acres. Archibald was also created 1st Baronet of Gosford ca. 1628 (before 4 Aug. 1629).
About this same time in 1633 the Acheson House was constructed in Edinburgh along the Royal Mile, very close to Huntly House (It was named for Archibald, though he died about a year later). After the Wars of the Covenant, Charles I was defeated (ca. 1646-7) and was beheaded; along with many of his supporters including one George Gordon (son of the 6th Earl of Huntly) who were executed. Despite this fact, Archibald's family retained their holdings in Ireland.
It should be here noted that most of Archibald's descendants are listed here as descended from his first wife. Only Patrik and George's mothers were listed, though presumeably the others were born to Agnes, with the span of years between his children's births most likely indicating different maternity for the first four.
