"Adam Hay of Asslid. Eldest son of Andrew Hay of Asleed, in the parishes of Monquhitter and New Deer. Adam was entered apprentice to James Hay, W.S., Edinburgh, in 1738, so that he was probably quite a youth when he joined the Jacobite movement. He was taken and convicted of treason. The forfeited estate was claimed and eventually purchased by James Hay, Clerk to the Signet, uncle and tutor to the rebel. The burdens on the estate were heavy, and included a provision to Anna Forbes, grandmother, and Christian Cumming, mother of the said Adam, besides certain claims by Anna and Jean Hays, his aunts."
