Marr.), and James Bredfoot was retoured heir in lands in parish of Dunss, 1678 (Retours, Berwick, 397). The surname is common in Lanark Commissariot Record. There was an old Cumberland family of Braidfoot (see Cumberland and Westmorland Arnchaeological and Antiquarian Society Trans., new ser. XIII). Bradfut 1573, Bradfutt 1566, Breadfoot 1639; Braidfoot, Braidfutt, Breadfotte, Bredfute, Breydfut.
