   LifeSketch: Thomas was the second Laird of Torfoot, 1695 to 1713. He was a “Covenanter,” a group that resisted the change of their Presbyterian Church to Church of England, ordered by the King of England. Many Covenanters were imprisoned, tortured, put to death or deported to the Americas for not complying with this rule. They also lost their land. Two battles with English troops were fought, the Battle of Drumclog and the Battle of Bothwell Bridge, where Thomas was captured. He was imprisoned at Edinburgh for 5 months and then banished from Scotland. The ship he was on wrecked off the Orkney Islands, and he lived to return to his family. This period, 1638 through to 1688 was known as “the killing times.” After this, the Scots were allowed to keep their Presbyterian religion. This came about under the government of William and Mary, Mary having been daughter of King James VII. With the return of peace, land was returned to those who had their holdings confiscated during that time. Thomas’ wife Janet Young was daughter of John of Coithill.
