AN OLD GLASGOW FAMILY 51
appointed, 1 nor does her name appear in George Hutcheson's
Will in 1639, among his sister " Helein hir bairnis," where
it might have been expected to be found, she having been
born in 161 7, and being almost certainly alive in 1639, if (which
I am loth to doubt) it was she who was married to William Gray
as his second wife, and having by him a son, John Gray of
Carntyne, who acquired the estate of Dalmarnock about the
year 1678, who married Annabella, daughter of Walter Gibson
of Hillhead and Over Newton, and who died about 1687,
leaving a son also named John, to perpetuate the family of
the Grays of Carntyne.
James Hill, who died in infancy.
James Hill, baptised on 21st October, 1619, 2 whose
" Godf rs " were "Geo. Hutchesoun and James Muir." He died
in infancy and before 1623, no mention being made of him in his
father's Will of that year, his immediately younger brother Ninian
being alone mentioned as "his sone," to whom Tutors testa-
mentary are appointed.
Ninian Hill (No. 2).
Ninian Hill, secundus, baptised on 10th July, 1621, con-
cerning whom see next Chapter.
George Hill (No. 2).
George Hill, a posthumous child, baptised on 8th December,
1623, 3 the entry in the Register of Baptisms being " Umq' e
Ninian Hill and Helen Hutcheson. A.l.s. (i.e. a lawful son).
Godfathers George and Mr. Johne [possibly a mistake for Mr.
Thomas] Hutchesoun."
This George most probably died in infancy, or before 1639,
