Dear all, Having just posted through the rootsweb interface about Blains in Inch, I'm now thinking about them again - I don't suppose anybody has easy access to the Inch Kirk Session records..? There are a few things I must search for. So I expect a trip to Edinburgh will be in order, when there's a chance to get there again... Jenny

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: jennyblain Surnames: Blain Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.scotland.wig.general/2075.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi again Hayley. There were quite a few Blains around in Wigtownshire and Ayrshire, probably also Kirkcudbright. Maybe if you said what had led you to look for a John Blain about this time, some of the people on the Wigtownshire list (which these messages go to) could help. My Blain line goes back to Inch parish in Wigtownshire in the 18th century, with probable connections to other parishes. Unfortunately the Inch register doesn't go back beyond 1729 - some other parishes go further back, and some not so far. The Parish Lists of Wigtownshire and Minnigaff (1684), however, show several Blains in various parishes. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Thank you so much for the historic break down of Scotland's History. It really helps to put some things into perspective.   Linda Call  

John Crookshanks of Craiglaw. Is this the Barony of Craiglaw near Kirkcowan? I am descended from Crookshanks in Kirkmaiden and am wondering if this John is off the same family.

Were there other Patrick Coltranes, i.e. book, Members of Parliament, Scotland (Foster, Joseph 1844-1905) http://www.archive.org/stream/membersofparliam00fostuoft#page/224/mode/1up/search/Whithorn p.78.

Hi Dorothy, I don't have what you seek, but wanted to check that you knew the burial place of Patrick's father, William? He was buried with his father, (also Patrick), in the Old Kirkyard at Wigtown. William being the Provost who was in Edinburgh and missed handing down a pardon to the 2 Wigtown martyrs. When he died a grudge was still held and the Burghers decide to forbid his burial in the kirkyard, employing guards to prevent this. A barrel of whisky given to the guards enabled his friends to sneak his body by night into the grave of his father. A crack extends across the table stone, which is said to have resulted from the haste in which William's body was entombed. Well, that's the story, and it does seem believable. Patrick being described as 'of Wigtown' may have referred to the county, rather than the parish or the Burgh. Perhaps your Patrick was not buried in any parish of Wigtownshire. Landowning gentry often spent lots of time elsewhere, so he may have died and was buried outside the county, possibly in England. Just a thought.

Bruce, Dorothy, On page 503 of the book, "The Agnews of Lochnaw: A History of the Hereditary Sheriffs of Galloway" (available on Google Books) appears the text: "There is an entry in the Sheriffs record-book of 1711, which gives a complete list of the freeholders of the county at that date as they stood on the roll-in number only twenty-nine. " Wigtown, 9 October 1711. The which day and place, by order and warrant from Sir James Agnew of Lochnaw, heretable Sheriff of the said shire, intimations were made at the mercat cross of the head burgh of the shire and at the respective parish kirks within the same, to the whole barons and freeholders having right to vote in the election of a Member of Parliament, to compear to make up a roll of electors conform to Act of Parliament. " In obedience whereto the said Sheriff, barons, freeholders and others having right to vote, this day convened and did make up the Roll of the Electors in manner underwritten, viz.- " Mr. William Stewart of Castle-Stewart, Mr. John Stewart of Sorbie, Sir James Agnew of Lochnaw, Sir Charles Hay of Park, Sir Alexander Maxwell of Monreith, Sir James Dunbar of Mochrum-Baronets. Alexr. M'Dowall of Garthland, Robert M'Dowall of Logan, Pat. M'Dowall of Freuch, Andrew Agnew of Sheuchan, Mr. Alexr. Adair of Drumore, John Blair of Dunskey, Colonel Andrew Agnew of Lochryan, Alexr.

In testimony whereof this is signed, day, year, and place foresaid, by J. AGNEW.' (A number of other signatures following.)" Is the "Pat Coltrain of Drummorell" your Patrick Coltrane (died 1717)? If so, it appears that he was of Drummorell in Whithorn Parish.

Scots Word of the Week: PARTAN (noun) - a crab Borrowed from Gaelic and recorded in Scots texts from the 15th century, the partan has got its claws well and truly into the Scots idiom. Early usages seems to mean any kind of crab but, later, partan usually denotes the edible crab. In the Foulis Account Book of 1700, we find that a luxurious dinner of "lapster and partans and brandie"cost £2. 18. 6 but, less extravagantly, W Alexander in his 1871 novel Johnny Gibb writes of "bawbee partans". A halfpenny would have been all that a "partan-fisted" or miserly person would have willingly paid. The term partan-back was used in times past to refer to a soldier or redcoat, because of the colour of the cooked crab. A partan-taed person walks with in-turned toes. A partan-faced individual is not a pretty sight and if you really dislike someone you could call them "a partan-faced sculduddery loon" a colourful phrase from J. Carruthers' A Man Beset (1927). Fu as a partan means full to the brim as in a vivid quotation from J. Stewart's Sketches (1857): "He had primed his proboscis [with snuff]*** till it was as 'fou as a partin'", and it is easy imagine the "little man, as full as a partan of buttoned, brushed, and powdered pride" described by H. Farnie in Fife Coast (1860). Even when its insides are picked clean, the partan has its uses. Small children made partan-cairties, pulling the shells along on a string and the claw could be used as a pipe in which dried leaves of coltsfoot or 'shellaggie' (Latin: tussilago) was smoked as a substitute for tobacco. Gaining renewed popularity with gardeners is the partan-hoe, a cultivator with curved claw-like prongs. The Aberdeen Press and Journal of 21st April 1953 tells of the availability of "Round Shovels, Dung Graips; Dutch, Draw and Parton Hoes". ---------------*** ***According to a relative, my father's elderly 97-year-old aunt who lived in Auchencairn, Kirkcudbrightshire, died as a result of her nose being eaten away from using snuff! Other than this, no other visual description of something so horrible. Is snuff the equivalent today of tobacco chew which is placed between the lower lip area and teeth and which causes horrible disfigurement from cancer, if not death? Maisie
