Sir Archibald Acheson, 1st Baronet

[1] On 31 March 1620, "Archibald Acheson, a Scotchman", was knighted at Theobalds by King James I,[2] and in 1621 he was appointed Master in Chancery of Ireland.

[7] In 1610, at the start of the Plantation of Ulster, numerous land grants were made in the precinct of Fewes in County Armagh.

He nevertheless became a "denizen" of Ireland on 12 February 1618, presumably in order to qualify for the lands he was receiving from his brother, Henry Acheson of Dromlech, County Armagh.

[15] Lord Glencairn may have had another daughter by one of his marriages, Isabella Acheson of Gosford, who married Hector Og Maclean (1583–1623).

[16][17] His eldest son Patrick succeeded him to the baronetcy but having died without issue several years after his father, whereupon the title passed to his half-brother Sir George Acheson, 3rd Baronet, who relocated to Ireland and in 1657 was High Sheriff of Counties Armagh and Tyrone.
