RECORDS OF AN OLD GLASGOW FAMILY 31
Thomas Hill his son, of the said 25s. land of Ibrox, dated 14th
February, 1604. 1 This Thomas Hill was married to Christian
Tennent in 1604. 2
The above-mentioned Charter, — the date of which is as given
in the Inventory, — must I think have been a link in the
progress of a Security title, or " Wadset," the other writs of which
are not enumerated in the Inventory, and which ultimately cul-
minated in the absolute conveyance or sale of Ibrox, as undoubtedly
the property title of the 25s. land of Ibrox flowed direct from
James Hill (2) then of Ibrox, to Thomas Hill "now in Ibrox," by
the Charter of Sale before mentioned, dated 28th June, 1624.
On acquiring the full or absolute right to the 25s. land of
Ibrox, from the grandson of the Chaplain of St. Mary's Altar,
Thomas Hill expede infeftment, conform to Sasine thereon,
dated and registered 20th July, 1624. 3
Thomas Hill in Ibrox was an Executor, along with Mrs.
Helen Hutcheson or Hill, the widow, and George Hutcheson of
Lambhill, the brother-in-law, under the Will or Testament of Ninian
Hill of Garioch, dated 5th September, 1623. 4
As connected with Thomas Hill and Christian Tennent
his spouse, reference may be made to a " Protestation by
the College of Glasgow respecting the Teinds in the Parishes of
Kilbride and Renfrew, dated Holyrud House, 27th July, 1632," 5
where mention is made of " Christian Tennent in Ibrocks, James
Hill her son there," indicating their possession of property in
one or other of these Parishes, and that Thomas Hill (2) was
then dead.
Thomas Hill (2) died sometime about or after 1624, certainly in
or before the year 1629, when there appears in the before-mentioned
Inventory, " a Seisin in favour of James Hill, Christian Tennent's
son," dated 8th September and registered 20th September, 1629,
proceeding on a precept of Clare Constat, — the date of which is
not given in the Inventory, — " granted by James, Archbishop of
