General Notes:
"Sir John Wyschart (10) father of David (14) who was vicar of the church in Brechin in 1453, had other two sons, James (15) who succeeded to Pittarrow, and Alexander (16) ....
James Wyschart of Pitarrow (15) who had probably succeeded to the estate as a younger brother, obtained on the 17th January, 1461, a charter from the Abbot of Arbroath of the mill and mill lands of Conveth. This instrument, William Ochterlony of Kelly, designed uncle of James Wyschart, subscribed as a witness. In 1471, James Wyschart of Pitarrow is mentioned as holding the constable lands of Brechin. In connection with those lands he is named in a charter dated 30th March, 1482. In the Exchequer Rolls, 1454, there is a sasine to James Wischeard (15) of the lands of Balgillo, in Forfarshire (vol. 9, p663). Also in 1471, James Wischeard, of Pittarrow, as Sheriff-depute of Kincardineshire, renders the Sheriff's account in exchequer and has £5 as his fee (vol. 8, p17). Under the Register of the Great Seal, May 28th, 1481, James Wischeard, of Pittarrow (15) is a witness at the church of Fordoun. He died in June, 1491."
