I quote from the book "The Amazing Life of John Law: The Man Behind the Mississippi Bubble" by Georges Oudard (1928): "Our family is very illustrious and very ancient. Before 1260, while Alexander III was king of Scotland, a Law of Lawbridge was already the possessor of great wealth. In 1398 Robert III gave the estates of Bogness, lower Luckwood, Glassgreen, and Kingousi to my ancestor, Robert Law of Bogness, who was the second son of Robert Law of Lawbridge. James Law, Lord Brunton, who was archbishop of Glasgow in 1615 was connected with my family..." It appears that one or more Laws were "Free Barons of Galloway" in the 13th and 14th centuries.
