Helene Hill, his spous, Niniane Hill of Lambhill, Mr. Robert
Maxwell, Minister at Monktone, and George Maxwell, his brither
germane, and others Tutoris, etc., to Niniane, Bessie and Jonet
Maxwellis his lau 1L bairnes."
In his manuscript Notes 1 Laurence Hill, LL.D., states that
this George Maxwell " afterwards became Sir George Maxwell,
who married Annabella Stewart, daughter of Sir Archibald
Stewart of Blackhall," "whom Mrs. Marion Stewart, the widow of
Thomas Hutcheson of Lambhill, calls her loving nephew in
1653," 2 and whose sister Maxwell, it may be added (see
footnote infra), with equal courtesy styles her as " Lady Aunt."
Marion Hill or Gray.
Marion Hill, entered in the Register of Baptisms, 3 of date
"Penult Julii " (30th July), 1617, as "A.L.D." (i.e. a lawful
daughter) of " Niniane Hill and Helen Huchesoun," her "Godf rs "
being " Geo. Hutchesoun and George Mure," was apparently
the youngest daughter of Ninian Hill of Garioch, but nothing
further is to be found respecting her in the Hill family records.
She appears, however, in the genealogical tree of the Hamilton-
Grays of Carntyne, where, on the authority of the Rev. John
Hamilton Gray, 4 it is stated, but without giving the date, that
William Gray of Carntyne married, as his second wife, Marion,
daughter of Ninian Hill and Helen Hutcheson.

that although Helen is named, Marion is not mentioned in the
Will as one of those for whom Tutors testamentary are
