Ninian Hill's Death.
Ninian Hill died in September, 1623, as appears from "the
Testament Testamentar and Inventar of the guidis, geir, debtis,
and sowmes of money quhilkis pertenit to umquhile Ninian Hill,
Merchand Burgess of Glasgow the tyme of his deceise, quha
deceist in the monethe of September, ye zeir of God Jm vjc
and twenty-thrie yeiris," recorded in the Commissariot Books of
Glasgow, 24th January, 1624, 1 from which the following Notanda
are derived.
His Will or Settlement and Executors.
The Will is dated at Glasgow, 5th September, 1623, and sets
forth that, " being seik in bodie bot haill in spreit," he had resolved
to make his "Testament and Latter Will," and accordingly he
nominates " Helein Hutchiesoune, his spous ; George Muir,
Portioner, of Polmadie," who " renuncit his office " ; " and
Thomas Hill in Ibrox," as his Executors.
This " Thomas Hill in Ibrox " is the person to whom James
Hill of Ibrox, the grand-son of Syr James Hill, sold Ibrox in 1624;
and George Muir was obviously the Sponsor or Godfather of
Ninian Hill's first-named son George in 161 5, of his daughter
Marion in 16 17, and of his second-named son and heir at law
Ninian in 1621.
