Early records of an old Glasgow family

AN OLD GLASGOW FAMILY 117
one thousand ffour hundred and sixty pounds Scots money, salvo
justo calculo," — indicative of heavy arrears, due by his father, of
interest, and at a high rate.
Dies on board ship at Guinea.
In the paper titled "Offspring of John Hutchison of Lamb-
hill," 1 it is stated, but without giving the date, that this Ninian
"died a chyrurgeon at Guinea aboard an English ship." His
death was probably during the voyage abroad referred to in the
Assignation of 17 11. It certainly, however, was before 171 7, as
he is referred to as the "deceased" Ninian Hill, brother of Hew
Hill, in the disposition by Laurence Craufurd to Ninian Hill, his
father, and Mary Craufurd, spouses, of date 24th May, 171 7- 2
Heiv Mill, second son of Ninian Hill and Mary Craufurd.
Hew Hill, the second son of Ninian Hill and Mary Craufurd,
was born probably about the year 1692, at any rate prior to 1st
January, 1700, the date of birth of his younger brother Laurence.
Born about 1692. Bursar at the University.
The year 1692 is the more probable as that of Ninian 's
birth, as in the Fasti of the University of Glasgow 3 it is
recorded of date 24th December, 1709, that "John Boyd
[Foundation bursar], being deprived of his bursary for absolute
ignorance and breach of order, in going away the former
session before the examination, Hugh Hill is hereby admitted
to that bursary, all the Masters having agreed that he be
preferred to it," which would make him to be about the
likely age of 17 at that time. His name also appears of
