Early records of an old Glasgow family

AN OLD GLASGOW FAMILY 59
Dauid Wilson's " eldest son, it came into the possession of
Ninian Hill of Garioch, Marion's son by James Hill of
Ibrox.
The other portion of Garioch, constituting evidently with the
Wilson's 43s. 4d. land, the two principal divisions or moieties of
Garioch, appears in the Protocol Book of George Hutcheson of
Lambhill, 1 as the subject of a Sasine dated 14th January, 1 591-2,
in favour of " John Wylie, Clerk of the King's Chancery, and
Agnes Sinclair, his spouse," in "the half of the town and lands
of Garroich (sic) extending to a 43s. 4d. land of O.E.," pro-
ceeding on a Charter of Feu-farm by "Walter, Commendator
of Blantyre, Lord Feu-farmer of the Barony, Lordship and
Regality of Glasgow." 2
At a somewhat earlier period, viz., in 1575, or while the
superiority and titularity of the lands and teinds was still vested
in the Archbishops, the following interesting notice appears in the
Great Seal Register (No. 2416) of the Confirmation by King
James VI. of a Letter of Gift, dated 22nd March, 1573, by
James, Archbishop of Glasgow, to " Maister Petir Young, his
hienes pedagoge," for " lang and faithfull service," "tending
to the Kingis Majesteis educatioun in virtew and lettres," "quha
notwithstanding thairof remanis unprovidit of convenient inter-
tenement; thairfoir with avise and consent of the Dene, Channonis
and Cheptour of oure Cathedrall Kirk of Glasgow," gives " ane
yearlie pensioun of the sowme of 200 pundis," payable out "of

bishoprik," and inter alia furth of " Garroch £$ 12s. 8d.,
Garbraid £\ 6s.," and "Lambhill 21s. 5d."
