Richard of Auchinlec was juror on an inquest held in 1263 before the sheriff of Lanark (Bain, I, 2677).

Patrick de Aghleke of Lanarkshire who also rendered homage in 1296 appears again as Patrick de Achenlek, juror on inquest at Lanark in 1303, and is probably the Patrick de Auuynlec who witnessed resignation of the lands of Grenryg c. 1311 (Bain, II, p. 206,372; Kelso, 195).
