Early records of an old Glasgow family

AN OLD GLASGOW FAMILY 77
Carmyle, called Huchesounes-toune, in favoures of umq 11 ' Thomas
Huchesoune and Helein Herbertsoune, in lyferent, and George
Huchesoune ther eldest sonne, heritablie, containing a Precept of
Seasing of the date, at Ed r -, the 6th of January, 1587." 1
George Hutcheson's titles show that he was possessed of a
"merkland in Nedder Carmyle, with the fisheing and pertinents "■ —
"tredecem solidatis et quatuor denariatis terrarum in Nether
Carmyll," — in which he was infeft on 27th October, 1598, on a
Crown Charter, dated 2nd January, 1595, granted by King
James in favour of John Hutcheson and Janet Johnston,
spouses in liferent, and George Hutcheson and his heirs in fee. 2
Whether both or either of these merklands came into the
possession of Ninian Hill or not, it is certain that by the year
1659 they had passed out of the possession of the original
proprietors, as, in the records for that year of the University of
Glasgow, who had right to the teinds of the lands, " George
Bogill " is entered as " heritor of the two merkland of
Hutchesoune." 3
In the Cess Roll of the County of Lanark for 1738 the
lands still appear described as " Hutcheson," and are valued with
other parts of the Carmyle Estate at ,£122 Scots; and so late
as 1824, in the same Roll, although some divisions had by that
time taken place, the lands might still be identified by the same
name. At present they, in whole or in part, belong to Mr. Sligo
of Carmyle, and, so far as they can be identified, are situated
immediately to the east of Messrs. Dunlop & Co.'s Clyde Iron
Works.
