Ill, — KiRKo OF Sunday WELL. 



Amer Kirkhauch of Soundayvell is mentioned in 

 sasines,^^ dated ist February, 1548-9, and 3rd June, 1549, 

 respectively in favour of William, son and heir apparent of 

 John Grierson of Lag. In 1565 John Kirkhaugh of Sunday- 

 well is twice mentioned as a witness ;^o and there are similar 

 notices of him in 1580 and 1589.^^ 



55 Sasine dated 1st September and recorded 5th October, 1621 

 {Gen. Beg. of Sasines). 



56 See three sasines in hei- favour, dated respectively in 1629, 

 30th January and 3rd February. 1630. and 24th February. 1630, 

 and recorded respectively 10th August. 1629, 10th Februai-y. 1630, 

 and 20th March. 1630 (Dumfries Farticular Itegister of Sasine.s). 



57 Gilbert Grierson is designed as "of Chapel" in a bond for 

 530 merks granted by him as principal and Sir William Grierson of 

 Lag as cautioner in favour of Mausie Kirko, sister of the late John 

 Kirko of Chapel, and relict of Thomas Baillie of St. Johnskirk, 

 recorded 18th February. 1619 (Beui.'iter of Deeds). That he was 

 married before 23rd August, 1632, is shown by a sasine in favour of 

 him and his wife, Margaret Kirko. of that date, recorded 5th Sep- 

 tember of that year (Dumfries Farticular liegister of Sasines). 



58 How the lands of Chapel passed to Margaret Kirko I am 

 unable to say. In a note in the Dumfries and (lalloway Courier 

 of Tuesday, January 25th, 1876, it is stated that Thomas Grierson 

 of Barjarg married Elizabeth Kirkpatrick (sic), eldest daughter and 

 co-heiress of John Kirkpatrick (.sic) of Glenesland. who had a 

 charter, dated 1st November. 1616, by William, Lord Crichton of 

 Sanquhar, of one-third of the seven merkland of Glenesland on the 

 resignation of Robina Kirkpatrick (sic), who died unmarried before 

 24th June. 1630. I have been unable to find any confirmation of 

 this statement.
