There name LENDRUM has it's origins in Scotland -

with variations in the spelling (Landrum - Lentrum)

The Lendrums are from a farm of the same name (since the eleventh century) and is situated between Turriff and Fyvie in northeastern, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Turriff is 38 miles northwest of the city of Aberdeen and the Lendrum farm (about 250 acres) is in the parish of Monquhitter about four miles south of Turriff.

The Lendrums of Ireland are attributed to the Lendrums of Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

George Lendrum, Esquire, of Jamestown, county Fermanagh, son of James Lendrum, and grandson of George Lendrum, Esquire of Moorfield, county Tyrone.

Why did the Lendrums leave Scotland for Ireland? So are these Lendrums our first ancestors?

Clan warfare was prevalent during the late 17th century. A bitter war was waging between the Covenanters who adhered to strict Presbyterianism and the Cavaliers who followed the traditional Episcopal form of religion typified by the Established Church of England.

The battle at Turriff on May 14, 1639. Was the first bloodshed in the Scottish religious civil war and marked the beginning of The Troubles in Aberdeenshire. In 1689 - 90 James II (James VII of Scotland) was dethroned and William of Orange and his wife, Mary, were installed in his place.

At the battle of Boyne 1690 - A Captain James Lendrum fought with William's forces in Ireland and received a grant of land confiscated from Irish nobility that had supported James II. This gave rise to the Lendrums of Ireland.

It is confirmed in "The Surnames of Ireland" there is a tie between the Lendrums of Aberdeenshire, Scotland and the Lendrums of counties Tyrone and Fermanagh Ireland - since the mid-seventeenth century.

(The site of the battle was marked by cairns and tumuluses until the first half of the 19th century, when atenant put the heath under plow. He removed the hillocks that had marked the graves of the slain andpreserved the memory of the battle. In many hillocks he found corroded iron and other evidence ofconflict).
