  Marriage Notes:

"What were the further transmissions of the 8s. land till it merges in the general title I have not been able to trace, but the above-mentioned 21s. 8d. portion is, I think, what appears in the entry in the Register of the Great Seal as one of the subjects of the Confirmation by King James VI., dated 1st February, 1580-1, of a Feu Charter of date 16th June, 1579, granted by James, Archbishop of Glasgow, with consent of the Chapter, viz., '43 solidat, terrarum in Garbraid' and '21 sol. 8 den. terrarum in Garroche,' in favour of John Hay, eldest and lawful son of Mr. Andrew Hay, Rector of Renfrew, and Janet Wallace, spouses, the reddendo being, for Gairbraid 20s. iod. at Martinmas, and 1 5s. at Pentecost, with 6f firlots 'gersum' malt, 2 firlots 'mylne' malt, 6f firlots 'avenarum, lie hors corne,' 5 capons and 2 hens; and for Garioch 10s. iod. at Martinmas, and 7s. 4d. at Pentecost, with 1 boll of gersum malt, 1 firlot 'multyr' malt, 3 capons and 2 hens, with 2s. of augmentation. A new charter by King James VI. of the same lands, to the same persons, of date 23rd March, 1588, also appears in this Register and the probability is that this portion of Garioch came into the possession of Ninian Hill about the same time that the 43s. land of Gairbraid came into that of his brother-in-law, George Hutcheson of Lambhill."
