Many thanks to Loretta, Mike, Charles and Deb for your replies and help in my search for Grugar Mains in East Ayrshire. It has been all been very helpful and today I have learned just that much more in the search for my early Logan family. With sincere appreciation for the guidance. Cheers and all the best to all for a wonderful Christmas Season Linda Nordby Researching Ayrshire's families: Logan, Frew, Love, Yuille, Kilpatrick, McKean Kerr -----Original Message----- From: Loretta Layman [mailto:Lynneage@comcast.net] Hi Linda. Grougar Mains, which presumably was the seat of the 70-acre barony, is just outside the town of Kilmarnock, less than two kilometers east of the A77 highway. Go to www.streetmap.co.uk and search for Grougar Mains. A Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverwood,_Ayrshire includes a two-paragraph description of the barony, one of which states : "The Scottish feudal barony of Grougar contained 70 acres of the lands of Caprickhill, including Holmhead and Miltonmill. In 1742 these lands had belonged to Thomas Millar and were sold to William Wallace for £170; in 1811 the properties were worth £7,000. Laighmilton also lay in Grougar and in 1766 its rental was 1s 8d per acre, rising to £4 per acre in 1811." You can see Caprickhill on the above map, just south of Grougar Mains. Zoom in on Caprickhill, and you'll see Miltonmill just south of that. I don't see Holmhead or Laighmilton, although the latter may be just Milton today. Milton lies a bit east-southeast of Milton Mill and beside Grougar Row. Loretta --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
