Early records of an old Glasgow family

School Wynd, whichever was its correct designation, 1 afterwards
entering the University, in the Roll of which his name appears,
" Ninianus Hill, ex quarta classe, Calendas Maii 1638," as a
Matriculated Student, and thereafter " Ninianus Hillus," among
the " Laureati anno 1642. 2
Degree of Master of Arts.
His degree in Arts is also evidenced by the almost invariable
prefix either of " Mr.," " Magister," or " Master," to his name in
legal and other documents, as well as in his Patent of Arms,
after-mentioned.
Enters as a Burgess of Glasgoxv.
And that he entered as a Burgess of Glasgow is evident
from the fact that his son Ninian is entered as a Burgess of
the City, at the " near hand," as in right of his father.
Twice married.
Ninian Hill was twice married. Although the Genealogical
Trees extant mention only Jean, daughter of John Caldwell of
that Ilk, as his wife, 3 yet he undoubtedly was married previously
to Margaret, daughter of Hew Craufurd of Cloberhill in Dum-
bartonshire, a Cadet of the family of Jordanhill, which property,'
a little to the north of it, Cloberhill nearly adjoins.
First wife, Margaret Craufurd.
This marriage of Ninian Hill to Margaret Craufurd is
evidenced by a Charter, 4 — the original of which is extant and in
1 Glasgow Past and Present, vol. III., p. 416, edn. 01 1884.
