Early records of an old Glasgow family

ti8 THE EARLY RECORDS OF
date 9th March, 1710, 1 among the " discipulorum quintae classis
qui hoc anno Academiam intrarunt sub prsesidio Magistri Andreae
Rosse," which reasonably coincides with similar entries appearing
in the same record respecting his elder brother Ninian and his
younger brother Laurence.
Succeeds to Gairbraid.
By the death of his elder brother Ninian, the Surgeon, Hew
succeeded to the Gairbraid property with the superiority title of
Lambhill, the property of which had been sold in feu, as will be
afterwards mentioned, Garioch having also previously passed into
the possession of James Peadie, Merchant in Glasgow, and
Ramshorn and Meadowflat into that of the Corporation of the
City of Glasgow for behoof of Hutchesons' Hospital.
The Lambhill superiority and the Gairbraid property, as is
afterwards narrated, passed through Hew Hill's only child and
daughter, Mary, and her descendants, out of the Hill family and
name.
It is proposed, therefore, although involving some digression,
to bring down to date and to exhaust in the present chapter
the Notices of this branch, or stirps, of the Family, along
or in conjunction with the children of Ninian Hill and Mary
Craufurd, other than their son the Rev. Laurence Hill, through
whom the male line of the Hill family proceeds, and to whom a
separate chapter is accordingly given.
Hew Hill marries Janet, datighter of John Hill, Merchant in
Greenock.
Hew Hill married on 10th August, 1724, Janet, daughter of
the deceased John Hill, Merchant in Greenock. 2
