  General Notes:

"To David Irvine was assigned a lease of the lands of Coule for his life, all the moveable property of the testator within these lands, five chalders of malt yearly, twenty oxen, also 'three hundred wedders being within the Fortrie of Buchan.' To Alexander Irvine was secured a lease of the land and all moveable property of the testator within the lands of Kinharroquhe, with the corn, thirty-four oxen, and three hundred ewes. John Irvine received a lease of the lands and all moveable property of the testator within the place of Cragtoun - corn, oxen, and one hundred
and sixty ewes. To Agnes Irvine was assigned all the moveable property of the testator in Dalmayok-corn, oxen, and one hundred and sixty ewes, also twentyfour cows and one bull in Collangy, as the record says, 'to upbring her and marry her.' In the provision for all the sons the object of the gifts is 'to sustain them at the schools.' But the daughter was evidently to trust to her worldly endowments for procuring a husband, and her ample provision seems to justify the certainty with which that event had been contemplated."
