Early records of an old Glasgow family

AN OLD GLASGOW FAMILY 121
Glasgow. The parsonage of Glasgow Manse was a little to the
east (?) of the Bishop's Castle, it was acquired in the year 1580 by
Captain Thomas Crawfurd of Jordanhill, who afterwards sold it
to the Lord Boyd, and of late the Earl of Kilmarnock sold it, and
now belongs to one Mr. Hill." This was John Hill, Merchant
in Greenock, father of Janet Hill, who married Hew Hill of
Lambhill, as above mentioned.
In the " Inventary of Writes" of these subjects 1 they are
shortly described as " that Mansion House called the Mansion
House of the Rector of the Parish Church of Glasgow, with the
yeard, well, and pertinents of the same, acquired, lying and
bounded as in the rights of the same, and presently possessed by
Marion Tenent, widow of And"' Miller, Maltman in Glasgow."
These are the subjects which are thus referred to in Dr. Murray's
Paper on the Rottenrow, 2 viz., "The Manse of Glasgow i°, or
Parson of Glasgow ('mansus prebendarii de Glasgu primo' — Liber
Collegii, N.D., p. 51). The original Manse was on the north
side of the Cathedral, beyond those of the Precentor and Chancellor

Marries Robert Graham of Dalsholm and Kilmannan.
She married about the year 1760 or 1761 Robert Graham
(whose soubriquet was "Barley Mills") of Dalsholm and Kilmannan. 3
Mary Hill was probably thirty years of age when she married —
certainly she was not married in her early youth, as appears from
the Charter of Confirmation and Precept of Clare Constat by
Archibald Campbell, W.S., younger of Succoth, in her favour,
designed as "Miss Mary Hill," dated 26th March, 1 753,*
