Wallace, spouses, the reddendo being, for Gairbraid 20s. iod. at
Martinmas, and 1 5s. at Pentecost, with 6f firlots ' gersum ' malt,
2 firlots 'mylne' malt, 6f firlots 'avenarum, lie hors corne,' 5

A new charter by King James VI. of the same lands, to the
same persons, of date 23rd March, 1588, also appears in this
Register} and the probability is that this portion of Garioch

of the Wilsons, and from them, also by the marriage of another
Marion, the widow of Archibald Wilson, probably " Maister
