Hair / Hare Family Helen
Hair in Straid, William Hair of Nether Polquhise and James Hair of Hillend
of Kirkconnel 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. James
Hair of Kirkconnel husband of Marion McMillan is almost
certainly one of this family. In the grounds of the
ruins of St. Connel's kirk,
Kirkconnel , close to the boundary with New Cumnock
and their ancestral home of Glenwharry can still be
found the tombstones with the inscriptions 'Robert Makmillan
and Margrat Hair 1708' and 'Patrik
Hair and Marioun McMichel
1709' Mitchell Family Daniel
Mitchell in Waterhead may be related to
Robert Mitchell of Cumnock, martyred at Ingliston
near Moniave in 1685. Gemmell Family Agnes
Gemmell in Lowes and
Janet Gemmell in Mains 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. Indeed Patrick appears as Patrik Gamil of Cumnock Mains,
i.e. the castle mains of New Cumnock in an earlier proclamation of 1680 . Janet Gemmel is
in the Mains some 26 years later . Crichton Family Jean
Crichton and Patrick Crichton of Glenmuckloch, Kirkconnel may be related to Crichton of Craigman who appeared in Charles II proclamation for
apprehension in 1685 Glenmuckloch is on the lower slopes of Corsencon hill
on the Kirkconnel side of the county boundary.
Indeed both names suggest that pig-farming was common on this hill .Corsencon
is a corruption of Corswinton , [Gaelic] cor
'rounded-hill' [Old English] swin-tun 'pig-farm' and Glenmuckloch
is [Gaelic] gleann 'glen' muchlach
'pig-farm'. This Crichton family must have had a long association with Glenmuckloch, for in OS Maps of 1957 the farm appears as Glenmuckloch Crichtons next to
Crichton Burn. Crawford Family William
Crauford and his wife Margaret Crauford,
Jean Crawford of Connel Burn may be related to Hugh Crawford first
minister of New Cumnock and one of Ayrshire's 'true
band of Covenanters'. George Crawford of Auchencors
is almost certainly related to Hugh Crawford, since it was a branch of this
Crawford family that held Auchencross. William
Campbell in the Mains may be related to the Stilly Family Margaret
Stilly in Kirkconnel may be related to William
Stillie of |
