General Notes:
"In 1491 Thomas Prat demanded that his chaplain was to make personal residence within the burgh of Aberdeen, and to hold no benefice, chaplainry or service outwith the parish church." (page 32)
"SS THOMAS APOSTLE & GEORGE MARTYR
Endowed with £8 16s 8d on 18 Apr. 1491 by Thomas Prat, burgess of Aberdeen, the chaplain was held to be present at the canonical hours of the choir, to make personal residence within the burgh and to hold no benefice, chaplainry or service outwith the parish church. If he was so promoted, the chaplainry was to be regarded as void. Patronage was to be retained by the patron and his heirs, in default of whose presentation within forty days the gift for that turn should pass to the provost and baillies. Should the chaplain fail in service in choir or at altar for forty days continuously, he was to be deprived. The gift passed to Prat's heiresses and their spouses. On 23 Apr. 1539 Robert Cullen appears as patron for that turn, giving possession to Mr Alexander Cullen. On 1 Aug. 1560 Elizabeth Prat, one of the daughters of late Thomas Prat appears as one of the two patronesses of the altar." (page 285)
"In 1491 the first chaplain presented by Thomas Prat, burgess of Aberdeen to the newly founded service of SS Thomas Apostle and George Martyr was his son, sir John Prat."
