In the Exchequer Rolls, 1437, the rents of the lands of Gurdnes which are the Mains of Furmartyn, are granted by the King to Sir John Wischeard, Knight (vol. 5. f9). John married Janet OCHTERLONY. (Janet OCHTERLONY was born about 1398 and died after 6 July 1442 1.) Marriage Notes: "On the 6th July, 1442, 'Sir John Wyschart, Lord of Pettarrow, Knight', (10) appeared before the Chapter of Brechin, and to the Vicar-General, in the absence of the Bishop, presented 'Schir David Wyschart' (14) as his Chaplain, endowing him with ten merks of annual rent from certain lands. Having founded, with an endowment of ten merks yearly, from the lands of Redhall and others, the chaplainry of St. Thomas the Martyr, in the Cathedral of Brechin, for the salvation of his soul, and that of Janet (Ochterlony), his wife, he, on the 10th of August, 1442, presented as chaplain 'his well-beloved David Wyschart' (14) to be admitted thereto after examination. In an instrument dated 17th November, 1453, David Wyschard is mentioned as one of the vicars or perpetual chaplains of the Church of Brechin." |
