MUIRHEAD, Claud 1
User ID: Z790. General Notes: "Entries for two documents (bonds of caution, i.e. surety) are to be found in the Register of the Great Seal in the first part of the year 1601 which appear to have been drawn up by David Muirhead, son of James (and Janet) Muirhead of Lauchope. The first was recorded on 28 January, 1601 (1.65) and noted that James Muirhead of Lachop stood as cautioner to Elizabeth Logye, relict of James Finla in Lochwod for 500 merks not to harm Robert Boyd of Badinheath. The document was witnessed by Claud and David Muirhead 'sons of James Muirhead of Lachop'. The second entry was dated 04 February, 1601 (1.66) and noted that James Muirhead of Lachop stood as cautioner for his son, Claud Muirhead and John Muirhead, burgess of Glasgow for 500 merks not to harm Robert Boyd in Baddinhaith. This document was written by David Muirhead. It would seem apparent that, in view of the fact that David Muirhead wrote the documents, he must have practiced as a lawyer, in addition to his printing career." |
