Early records of an old Glasgow family

AN OLD GLASGOW FAMILY 87
"ane Instrument of Seasing," following on a charter granted by
"James, Arch B. of Glasgow, in favoures of Johne Hutchesoune
of the 40s. and 2od. land of Garbreid," the Sasine being dated
31st May, 1581. 1
This title is confirmed by Charter by King James VI., dated
19th November, 1582, "in favoures of Johne Hutchesoune," who
is designed as "son to umq 1L Johne Hutchesoune in Garbreid," the
lands being in the " Inventar " described as being " for the present
occupyed be the sd Johne and Marion Wilsoune, alias Jarden,
his moyer." 2
This John Hutcheson the younger is, with his spouse Agnes
Anderson, infeft in the lands by Sasine of date 2nd October, 1588, 3
following on a Charter by "the noble Lord Walter, Lord Feu
fermourer of the Baronie and Lordship of Glasgow," dated "at
Blantyre Craig, 8th Au'- (August), 1588." 4
In George Hutcheson's Book 5 there appears the Protocol of
a Sasine dated 6th December, 1597, in favour "of William
Anderson of Stobcors and Jonet Maxuall, his spouse, of a 20s. and
iod. land, part of the 40s. 2od. land, of old extent, of Gairbraid,"
on a Contract or conveyance by " John Huchesone in Gairbraid," in
William Anderson's favour.
It is probable that some of the before-mentioned deeds of these
lands— similarly as in the case of Lambhill — would be of wadset
(i.e. security for loans), and will thus account for the apparent
duplication of the title, but their existence makes it difficult to
follow out the precise transmissions of the property.
After granting this, probably, wadset to "William Anderson
of Stobcross and Jonat Maxwell, his spouse," in 1597, of a 20s. iod.
land, and seemingly granting also another wadset in 1600 —
