Thanks, Lee. Just what I was looking for. Someday I've got to do an index for GTC. Then I have to fasten the whole thing to my wrist so I'll be able to find it when I want it.
I'm trying to figure out who the parents of Catherine Glenduning who married Alexander Fraser in 1683, Edinburgh, were. Both George & Euphame Nisbet and John and Agnes Muir named daughters Catherine and both were born within a few years of each other. Their baptismal/christening records are on the same role of microfilm.
Thanks again,
Sharon

Subject: Re: GTC Edinburgh
Here's reference from GTC to George m: Euphame and George m: Marion Hearing. Did not find a mention of John m: Agnes Muir/Moore, however.
Please excuse, there are probably lots of typos here, both by me and the typed transcript I copied this from. But it will give you an idea.
LAGGANE, MOCHRUM, EDINBURGH - Part XI.
16LA. GEORGE GLENDINING IN EDINBURGH, youngest son of [14L] William, merchant in Greyfriar's parish, married there in 1649, Euphame Nisbet; in 1660, as a merchant burgess of that city, witnessed an assignment by his brother [16L] William; appeared in 1662 for his brother [16M] James before the Lords in Edinburgh; and in July 1670, with the consent of his said brothers german, William (who assigned his interest therein) and James (who did not) purchased from Elizabeth, daughter of the late [15KA] William Glendoning of Gelston, the 6 merk lands of Corra, parish of Buittle. In 1671 George and his brother James were insest in Blackbellie. He died in October 1680. His testament was confirmed in Edinburgh 29 December 1682 his widow Euphame being sole executrix. Their issue:-
i. John, merchant burgess in Greyfriars parish. member of the Edinburgh Merchant Company. He was, with his wife, Martha Weir, insest in Nether Laggane, its houses yard and pertinents, 5 January 1687. In June 1694 he had sasine (and was so styled) of the lands of Corra in Buittle, Quarter in Tungland and Trostrie in Twynholm. He is believed to have sold Corra in 1696 to John Irving of Drumcoltran and John McGeorge of Cocklick, but the superiority remained with his cousin and namesake. Glendining and his wife seem to have been deceased in 1716 when their lands of Nether Laggane passed to the Coltharts. They have five children buried in Greyfriars kirkyard:- i. a child 11 February 1684, ii. a child 8 September 1684, iii. Jean in the Tod tomb 22 April 1685, iv. a child 10 January 1693, v. a halflin 15 March 1700.
ii. Susanna, a resident at Blackmark in 1684, but deceased before 5 January 1687 when her brother was served her heir. Nevertheless she appears to have been the wife of Robert Colthart of Leaths in Buittle, who in 1716 was insest in the life-rent of Nether Laggane, his son, Robert Colthart of Laggane and Susanna, daughter of the late James Cothart, being equally insest in the lands of Nether Laggane, 15 September 1716, their descendants inheriting.

Of the family inheritance Adam occupied Watcarrick of Eskdalemuir, a tenandry, on the Esk above the baronial lands of Glendonwyn, including the Castlehill, Holm and Chapel of Watcarrick, all held by his ancestors as early as 1376 from Melrose Abbey (Langholm, Hyslop). In 1585 Adam Glendoning in Watcarrick shared in the crown indemnity to Lord Maxwell and his friends for all illegal acts since 1569 (Hamilton Papers ii: Letters Hy. viii: R.M.S. iv: Mss. Home: A.P.S. iii) his son-JOHN lived in England, apparently at Bishopton near Ripon in Yorkshire (possibly the family still held an interest there). He joined the English and fought (Pinkie 1547) against the Scots. Coming to Scotland in 1548 he was, at the instance of Lochinvar, forgiven by the King. He m. before 1547 dau. of George Gordon in Kirkland. John Glendoning witnessed a grant of lands in Selkirk 1561, but in 1562 his goods there were seized by the sheriff. He appears to have held Drummoir near Dumfries from Lord Maxwell in 1583, but in Dec. 1585 was resident at Castlehill of Watcarrick or Eskdalemuir and included in the crown indemnity of Maxwell and his men for their part in the capture of Stirling and for all illegal acts since 1569 (Sec.

iv. BARTIL in Carruthers Park included in indemnity of 1585 (A.P.S. iii)-SIMON Glendoning there, probably the borderer executed with Gavin Glendoning at Jedburgh Oct. 1606 (Ibid.: P.C. vii).

Thanks.
