Early records of an old Glasgow family

48 THE EARLY RECORDS OF
5. David Pollock whose existence, though not mentioned in either
of the papers, " Descendants," or " Offspring," is recorded
in the said Register of Baptisms, etc., under date 1 8th May,
1645, viz.: " Tho s - Pollock, Elsp'- Hill. A.l {i.e. a lawful) sone
David, Godf rs - Johne Maxwell and Mr. Niniane Hill." 1
Continuing the enumeration of Ninian Hill and Helen Hut-
cheson's children, the next in order was :
Ninian Hill (No. 1), who died in infancy.
Ninian Hill, baptised 6th November, 16 14, 2 his "god-

when a second Ninian, after-mentioned, was baptised.
George Hill (No. 1), who also died young.
George Hill, baptised 24th October, 161 5, 3 whose "god-
fathers" were "George Hutchesoune and George Muir," and
who also probably died in infancy, or before 8th December, 1623,
when another George (No. 2) appears.
Helen Hill or Maxwell.
Helen Hill who was baptised on 3rd December, 1616, her
" Godf rs " being " Geo. Hutchesoune, James Muir and Mr. Thos.
Hutchesoun." 4 Her mother's name in the extract is written
" Isobel," which is obviously a clerical error. She, Helen Hill,
appears as one of those mentioned as his sister " Helein hir
bairnis," in the Inventory relative to George Hutcheson's Will
in 1639. 5 Although nothing specifically is bequeathed to her,
as in the case of her elder sisters, Margaret and Elizabeth and
their posthumous brother George, who each received a legacy
of 500 merks under their father, Ninian Hill's Will in 1623, she,
