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.
