General Notes:
In 1656 the baptismal register of Kilsyth parish Stirlingshire records the baptism of Alexander Steine, son to "Jon Steine in Lenzie":
"STEINE ALEXANDER JOHN STEINE/ M 27/04/1656 483/10 248 Kilsyth"
In the text of the record it says that a "testimoniall" was provided by "Jon Gartschoir ane elder", and that Patrick Gartschoir and Alexander Gartschoir witnessed the baptism.
"About the end of the reign of King Charles I. the estate was in possession of Captain Patrick Gartshore of that Ilk, who was reckoned a 'gentleman of honour and a brave soldier.' He is likely to have been the 'Laird of Gartshore' who appears in the records of Parliament as a Commissioner on Loans and Taxes, 1643; on the Committee of War, 1647-48; and as Member of Parliament for Dumbartonshire, 1685-86.
When Patrick Gartshore died without issue the succession devolved on his immediate younger brother James Gartshore, D.D., Parson of Cardross."
Note: That is to say, without children who lived to adulthood and carried on this family line. 6 7
Patrick married Agnes HENRYSONE, daughter of Laurence HENRYSONE Merchant Burgess of Edinburgh and Issobell CHARTERIS, on 15 July 1652 in Edinburgh parish, Edinburgh, Scotland.1 2 (Agnes HENRYSONE was baptised on 7 June 1629 in Edinburgh parish, Edinburgh, Scotland 8.)
