General Notes:
"In 1616, Mr. Thomas Menzies de Balgonie is served heir-male of his uncle, Walter Menzies, burgess of Aberdeen.'' From the Records of the Presbytery of Aberdeen, we find that this Thomas Menzies of Balgownie did not communicate at the Communion in Aberdeen held April 16, 1616. In 1622, he is ordained to subscribe
the Confession of Faith ; and in 1630, having refused, he is obliged to leave the country. In that year he is found living at Dieppe, as, being a Roman Catholic, he was obliged to retire there. He had nine children."
