George ABERCROMBY of Tullibody d.1699
Biographical Note
There is a series of bookplates in the Franks collection all incorporating the same coat of arms (argent a chevron gules between three boars' heads erased azure), used by various members of the Abercromby/Abercrombie family. Working out which is which is complex, as different branches of the family evolved during the 17th century, all descended from a 16th-century Alexander Abercromby of Birkenbog, whose first son became Sir Alexander Abercromby of Birkenbog, 1st bart (1603-84), and whose younger son John Abercromby, 1608-91, became the 1st of Glasshaugh. The Glasshaugh estate descended down a male line of Abercrombys (Alexander, 2nd of Glasshaugh, d.ca.1691; Alexander, 3rd of Glasshaugh, 1677-1729)
The younger son of John Abercromby, 1st of Glasshaugh, George (d.1699) acquired the estate of Tullibody, which passed on his death to his nephew Alexander (d.1753, MP). That Alexander was a younger son of Sir Alexander the first baronet, of Birkenbog, whose baronetcy passed down his male line of first surviving sons (Sir James, 2nd bart, ca.1670-1734; Sir Robert, 3rd bart (ca.1698-1787). There are therefore lines of Abercrombys of Birkenbog, Glasshaugh and Tullibody, many of whom had the same given names, and all used the same coat of arms.
The bookplate recorded for 'Abercromby of Tullibody' may be that of George Abercromby or possibly his nephew Alexander Abercromby of Tullibody (1675-1753) with a change of motto.
