      The Edgar family 500-acre estate "Kilquantity," on the River Orr in Kirkpatrick Durham, Scotland was six miles from Castle Douglas and fourteen miles from Dumfries near the southwestern Scottish border. In 1000 the property now called Kilquanity was owned by Snibhne Maccinaede, King of Galloway. Kilquanity is a Gaelic word used by the Selgovae people which means the "Cell of Kennedy." From that family the land perhaps passed to the Durham family in the 1300s. Since at one time Kilquanity was the most conspicous property in the parish, perhaps the Durhams gave their name to the area. In 1488 the property passed to Fergus M'Naught (also M'Naucht / M'Naight) whose family held the land for two centuries. Around 1488 the property was referred to as both Kilquonadie and Culconnady.

A 1667 contract mentioned merkland, an old Scottish unit of land measurement, of Overtown of Kilquhannady with the towner, fortalice, manor place, houses, biggins, etc. Tenants in 1700 were M'Naught, Gerron, Neilson, Bratnoch, Wilson, M'Clamerock, M'Gill and Corbie. In the 1745 annual valuation roll, Kilwhannady was the second highest valued property in the parish at 227 pounds and Nether Kilwhannady (adjoining estate) was third highest valued at 220 pounds.

In 1680 the last M'Naught owner was killed and in 1696 Thomas Neilson had rights over the estate -- then called Kilwhannidy -- to be followed by Thomas Murdock in 1722.

By 1744 the Kilquanity estate in Kirkpatrick Durham, County Kirkcudbright, Scotland had been divided, for that year James Garthshore, W. S. bought upper Kilquhanity, while Nether Kilquhanity with the mill and merkland belonged to George Gordon of Troquhain. From Garthshore, Kilquhanity, in other words the portion now known by that name, was purchased in 1750 by Janette (Edgar) Martin's uncle, Thomas Edgar of Netherwood, Dumfries, a Dumfries, Scotland merchant, who is supposed to have been remotely connected to the M'Naughts. Thomas Edgar died unmarried in 1779, aged 84, and was survived for about one year by his niece Janette (Edgar) Martin. Thomas had given the estate to his niece in 1768; after she registered the title on 29 Aug 1769, she had a Crown charter confirmed the following day to her husband John Martin. Kilquantity thus came into the Martin family and Janette lived at the estate.

On 8 June 1802 a lawsuit was pending between John Martin, the grand-nephew of Thomas Edgar, and the MacNaughtons, earlier owners of the estate, for ownership of the property; John Martin won the case and kept possession. This John Martin was apparently the John who was the son of Jane Tolmey and married Mary King. According the the 1799 valuation roll John Martin was the principal proprietor. When he died in 1818 he had no children; his widow became proprietrix and survived him for 32 years. She presented to the church a pair of beautiful silver communion cups.

The home at the estate, aslo known as Kilquantity, was reportedly commissioned about 1820 by a Mr. Martin, although the commission was more likely done before John Martin died childless in 1818. The architect who drew the plans was Walter Newall.

By 1846 the estate was referred to as "Kilquhanity" by Samuel Lewis in his Topigraphical Dictionary of Scotland: "There are some small remains of ancient wood on the lands of Kilquhanity and Kirklebride. The plantations, which are tolerably extensive, are chiefly of modern date, and consist of the usual forest and hard-wood trees, largely interspersed with larch and firs to protect them from the severity of the winds ; they are generally in a thriving state.... Handsome mansions are scattered throughout the parish, and inhabited by landed proprietors; the principal are Brooklands, Chipperkyle, Croyes, Doonpark, Durhamhill, Kilquhanity, and Walton Park, all good houses pleasantly situated in grounds tastefully laid out, and embellished with plantations. (http://www.kirkcudbright.co/kpd.asp)

At Mary King Martin's death in 1850 the estate became available as an inheritance to the Martin family in America per her deceased husband's will, but no one apparently wanted to live there and become British citizens as was required. Given that the Martins did not return to Scotland to take possession of the estate, the property passed to John Ferguson, a great-grand nephew of Thomas Edgar. In 1871 there were 1,218 people living in Kirkpatrick Durham. The estate remained for nearly a century in the Ferguson family, beautifully kept until 1913.

The area on the way to Kirkpatrick Durham is frequently partitioned by stone walls. Sheep and dairy cows cover the rolling green hillsides, and mountains are in the distance. It is one and one-fourth miles from Kirkpatrick Durham, which consists of a few houses at a crossroads, to Kilquantity. A reference to Galloway, Scotland being the birthplace of some of the Martins could refer to the manor house itself. Galloway refers to the whole geographical area and is not a town; there is a New Galloway close by, which is a town.

Since the 1940s Kilquanity has been a boarding school. In the summer of 1951 Kilquantity was a school for small boys from low income families. In the 1970s it was coeducational. In addition to the manor house there are stables, pig pens, a barn, and various other stone buildings all grouped to the right of the house as you face it.

From the front of the house there is a stupendous view of the rolling green countryside. The original two-storied house is the lesser of the two sections of the building. The old section is rather nondescript inside in the 1970s; the rooms are all large with high ceilings, plain walls, and simple fireplaces. In the newer section one floor is mostly below ground and has the kitchen. On the second floor, which has one of the front doors, there is a wide central hall with a spiral staircase at the rear. The staircase goes to all floors except the attic and has a round skylight at the top. The fourth floor is the attic. The stairwell shows in the outer architecture where the building is rounded. The central hall opens into two huge rooms on either side. On the left as you face the house is the library which has the nicest of the rather plain fireplaces. The rooms are plain with a single band of plain plaster trim ringing the room two to three feet from the ceiling. The only decorative woodwork was in the hall near the stairs. The building appeared sound but deteriorated because of needed repairs and cleaning. The windows were the most interesting part in the new section in that the shutters are on the inside and open inward to disclose cabinets on either side of the windows. The address of the house was Kilquanity Home School, Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. In 1999 it was reported that the home had been demolished. Two addresses for Martins in the area in 1970 were George Martin, a farmer at Springholm Ho, Castle Douglas, Kirkpatrick Durham, telephone 248 and Ian Martin, New Ho, Springholm, Kirkpatrick Durham, telephone 343; these families have not yet been contacted.

In addition to this estate, Kilquantity Farm, owned by the McTaggarts since about 1948 is one-fourth mile from the manor home -- higher in the hills; it was originally part of the estate. The original house in now part of the barn.

The church in Kirkpatrick Durham commands a gorgeous view of the Scottish countryside as does Kilquantity. The family plot is attractive, large, fenced with iron, and centered in the cemetery directly behind the church. The marker is huge with the Ferguson and Lawrence families who had lived and died at Kilquantity in 1886 and 1896 on either side of the Edgars and Martins. The marker's overall inscription at the top is "Dulcius Asperis." The Martin inscription is: "Here lies Thomas Edgar, Esq of Kilwhanity who died August 1779 aged 84 years and Janet Martin his niece who died April 1780 aged ?6 years. Also John Martin, Esq of Kilqhanity, grand nephew of the said Thomas Edgar who died 19th February 1818 aged 65 years. Also Jane Tolmey his mother who died 10th June 1798 aged 72 years. All of whom lived respected and died lamented. Also Mary King, spouse of the above John Martin, Esq died at Kilwhanity on the 20th Jan 1850 aged 83 years." The marker was erected by John Martin, Esq of Kilwhanity.
