Another early record of the name can be found in the Register of the Privy Council of Scotland from 1604, which mentions a Alexander Londrie who was involved in a legal dispute over land ownership.
In the 17th century, the name appears in various parish records from Ayrshire, including the baptism of Margaret Londrie in 1635 in the parish of Galston.
One of the earliest emigrants to North America with the surname was William Londrie, who arrived in Virginia in 1635 from Scotland. He is recorded as having been granted land in the colony.
