Hair / Hare Family John
Hair in Brockloch may be related to the Hair family
of Glenwharry in Kirkconnel.
Their lands were forfeited following the martyrdom of John Hair at Overcairn ,
New Cumnock in 1685. Mitchell Family Daniel
Mitchell in Waterhead and Margaret Mitchell in Bank
may be related to Robert Mitchell of Cumnock, martyred at Ingliston
near Moniave in 1685. Gemmell Family William
Gemmel in Garrieve, Agnes
Gemmell in Lowes and
Janet Gemmell in Corsencon may be related to George
Gemmell in Maneight and
Patrick Gemmell in the Castle both of who appeared
in Charles II proclamation for apprehension in 1685. Hutchison Family Elizabeth
Hutchison in Auchencross, Margaret Hutchison in Coldstream (her daughter Sarah is probably named after
Sarah Hutchison in Rig see 1709 Records) and Hugh Hutchison in Hoodsknow may be related to Hugh Hutchison and Thomas
Hutchison in Dalgig , both escaped capture by
government troops in 1685. Indeed
Hugh Hutchison in Hoodsknow may in fact be Hugh Hutchison
of Dalgig, for the Reverend Robert Simpson records
that Hugh Hutchison lived for many years after his escape in 1685, and was
later at Farthing Reoch (Fardenreoch).
But where was Hoodsknow? Crichton Family Margaret
Crichton in Park may be related to Crichton of Craigman
who appreared in Charles II proclamation for
apprehension in 1685. Crawford Family Mary
Crawford in Polquhirter, wife of Hugh Dunbar may be
related to Hugh Crawford first minister of New Cumnock and one of Ayrshire's 'true band of Covenanters'. Patrick
Campbell of Polquhirter and Mary Campbell in Castle
Mains may be related to the Place-names Most of the place-names are still well known in the parish with the exception perhaps of Coldstream and Hoodsknow. |
