Early records of an old Glasgow family

66 RECORDS OF AN OLD GLASGOW FAMILY
"Johne Hill, in Clinkert,"— " Andro Hill, in Govane,"— " Margrat
Hill" (no designation), as owing ,£44 Scots of arrears of
"house maill," and £\2 for the half-year's rent at Martinmas,
1623; and on the other hand as owing by Ninian Hill:
" To Johnne Dick, Merchand, as debtour for Johnne Hill, his brother
sone, in Govane," 1 £733 6s. 8d., and, with certain " debtis,
deducit,"
and leaving of " frie geir the sum of iiijm. viijc xliiij li. xiijs viijd,
to be divydit in thrie pairtis," whereof the " Deidis pairt is jm vjc
xiiij li xviijs ijd," or ^1614 18s. 2d. Scots.
1 This John Hill would be a son either of Thomas Hill of Ibrox or of William Hill, the Cordiner
Burgess, although I have not been able to trace him out ; but the fact of his owing a debt of
the above amount, which his uncle Ninian had undertaken to pay, may possibly to some extent
explain his non-appearance, or, so to speak, being "under a cloud," so far as the family records are
concerned.
