re: "Declaration by Patrick Adair, Belfast, concerning sums paid by Leues Stewart, Edlderstown, Scotland, as part of the marriage portion of Anna Helena Adair (nee Scott) widow of William Adair, to Sir Bruce (Bryce) Cochrane, at the request of Anna Helena Adair, for the use of her infant son, Robert Adair, and placed by Sir Bruce Cocharane in the hands of his brother, the Earl of Dundonald. 19 April 1688."
Would this document state the relationship between
Patrick Adair and William Adair (dc.1661, husband of Anna Helena Scott) ?

He got alfo a charter under the great feal of feveral other lands, Alexandre Cochrane de evderft (sp)dated anno 1618. He was a man of fingular virtue and probity, and greatly improved the eftate of the family. By the faid Elizabeth Cochrane, he left iffue of feven fons and two daughters

Sir John Cochrane of that ilk, a man of fingular worth and hornour, a firm and steady friend of king Charles I, was a colonel in his army, and in great favour with his majafty. In 1644, he was sent ambaffador to follcit affitance from feveral princes in behalf of the king. After the murder of the king, he attended king Charles II, to foreign ports, who fent him on a particular embaffy into Poland, anno 1650, but before his return, the king and his army were overthrown at Worcefter. Sir John remained with his majefty during his exile, and married _____ Butler, a daughter of the family of Ormond; but dying a little before the reftoration, without iffue, his eftate devolved upon his brother,
Sir William Cochrane of Cowdon, and though, in the beginning of the civil war, he appeared to be on the parliament’s fide, and was for some time employed to their fervice, yet he was inviolably attached to the intereft of the royal family. He eminently diftinguifed himself in their fervice upon every occation; particularly in the parliament of 1647, of which he was a member, and none was more forward than fir William in calling forces for the relief of the king, who was pleafed to raife him to the dignity of the peerage by the title of Lord Cochrane 27th December 1647.2nd though it is alledged by the bifhop of Guthrie, that he was on of the Scotch lords who voted for the delivering up of the king to the English, yet it appears he continued fteady with his loyalty, for which the commonwealth of England impofed no lefs a fine upon him than five thoufand pounds Sterling, anno 1654. And as none had contributed more heartily and fiercely to bring about a reftoration than lord Cochrane, fo it was no fooner accomplifhed than he was made one of the lords of the privy council to his majefty, anno 1660, and got charters, under the great feal, William demino Cochrane de Paifley et Dundonald, of feveral lands and baronies, inter 1660 et 1668.
