General Notes:
"James Cleland (37), the 'usurper,' 2nd son of James, 13th of that ilk, after the death of his brother Alexander in 1634, and during the minority of his nephew, assumed the title 'of that ilk.' He apparently finally persuaded his nephew to sell to him, or to his son Alexander, the estates of Cleland."

"In 1655 'James Cleland of Cleland townmylne,' enters into a bond for himself and 'Jounet Stirling his spouse relict to umqll Johne Aittoun at Cleland tounmylne, her first husband.' (Comm. Rec. Glasg.) This James Cleland is possibly James Cleland self-styled of that ilk, since Cleland Mill lay very close to Cleland House."
