Thisfamily, confessedly the chief of the name, appears to have possessed Bishopton,in Renfrewshire, with lands in the counties of Stirling and Ayr, long prior tothe date of any charters they have preserved. CRAWFURD, in his Renfrewshire,takes notice of Bishopton, the ancient inheritance of the Brisbane s, thechief of that name, and of Allanus de Brysbane, filius Whelhelmi deBrysbane, who obtained a grant of the lands of Macherach, in Stirlingshire, towhich Malcolm , Earl of Wigton, (so created in 1334) is witness .

(1361); andThomas Brisbane , witness to a charter, dated 22nd Semtember, 1409. The designations are not given but witnesses to such instruments, weregenerally the great officers of the crown.

And on the 1stJanuary, 1807, the little squadron, reinforced by the Figgard frigate, arrivedoff Curacoa. No orders, whatever,had been given to attack the island, but having by means of the pilots taken onboard at Aruba, perfectly ascertained the situation of the place, CaptainBrisbane determined to capture it by a coup de main; and imparting his intentionto the respective captains under him, and taking the sole responsibility onhimself, he led his ships into the harbour. It is well deserving of remark, thatpreviously to this, and unknown to their officer, the men , participating in thespirit of their gallant leader, had arranged themselves for attack , and whencalled to quarters, they were found with the words Victory or Death, chalked upon their hats. Under cover of a severe and destructive cannonade,Captain Brisbane landed with his boat's crew, when fort Amsterdam was instantlycaptured, the commodore himself being the first to scale the walls and by teno'clock the same night the British flag, hoisted on fort Republique, announcedthe surrender of the entire islan (www.brisbane.co.uk....moners.htm)
At one time these arms were known to have a Gold Medal Hanging Between the two top Cushions, but as the line of General Sir Thomas Brisbane 'who received the medal from the King' died out, it does not seem appropriate to use it.
