Margaret Hill or Bryson, afterwards Pollock.

Margaret Hill referred to in Ninian Hill's Will as his "eldest dochter" alive in 1623, who is also one of those mentioned as "Helein hir bairnis," in the inventory relative to George Hutcheson's Will in 1639, would seem to have been baptized, or entered in the Register of Baptisms, on 4 February 1612, under the name of "Joan," [Footnote: Hill, Munimenta, Volume 1 Part 2 No. 3. Extracts from Register of Baptisms, Glasgow] the "witnesses" being "George Hutcheson and Thomas Listoune."

In the paper titled "The Offspring of John Hutchison," [Footnote: Hill, Munimenta, Volume 2 Part 5 No. 13] it is stated that "Margaret" "was married to one Bailie Bryson in Glasgow." This designation of her husband as "Bailie" is obviously a mistake, as no one of the name of Bryson appears as a Bailie in the Council Records of Glasgow till 1685, and the Bailie Bryson of that year, as is evidenced by the Mortification granted by him in 1705, and also by George Hutcheson's Will, was "Bailie" John Bryson, one of the "oyes" or grand-children of George Hutcheson's sister, Helen Hutcheson or Hill {i.e. a son of and not the husband of her daughter Margaret).

In the paper titled "Descendants of John Hutcheson," above referred to, [Footnote: Hill, Munimenta, Volume 2 Part 5 No. 14] in the portion of it in the handwriting of the Rev. Laurence Hill, Minister of the Barony, written about the year 1723, it is stated that Margaret Hill "married [blank] Bryceson, Merchant in Glasgow, and had issue John Bryceson, Merchant and Baily in Glasgow."

Here in the Rev. L. Hill's Manuscript it appears as if there was another blank, into which the names of Walter Bryson and Thomas Bryson might be filled, on the authority of George Hutcheson's Will, in which in addition to "Johnne, Walter and Thomas Brysoune," there is also mentioned, "and Jonet Pollok," as among his sister Helen Hutcheson or Hill's "oyes." [Footnote: Hutcheson Papers (Personal) Volume 1 Part 1 No. 14.]

In the contract dated 14 April 1642, between Mrs. Marion Stewart or Hutcheson, widow of Thomas Hutcheson, and the heirs-portioners of George and Thomas Hutcheson, [Footnote: Hutcheson Papers (Personal), Volume 1 Part 3 C 1] "Margaret Hill, Relict of umquhile John Brysoun," is a consenting party, and she is also mentioned as "the said Margaret Hill and John Brysoun, her sone," as having right to a tack of four acres of the lands of Barrowfield, granted to them by Thomas Hutcheson of date 1 May 1641, which tack is excepted from the subjects dealt with in the above-mentioned Contract.

"This Margaret" the Manuscript "Descendants of John Hutcheson," proceeds to mention, "after John Bryceson's death married [James] Pollock, a son of Balgray, who had issue:"

1. George Pollock, Curate at Kilmarnock.

2. Elizabeth, married to Robert Chapman, Merchant in Glasgow, who had issue: John Chapman, Writer, married to [Helen] Wardrop, Daughter to [blank] Wardrop of Dalmarnock, who hath issue, Robert"

In this enumeration, it has to be pointed out, there is omitted Janet or "Jonet Pollok," one of his sister's "oyes" mentioned in George Hutcheson's Will in 1639; and the further remarks suggest themselves that, from the conjunction of this Janet or "Jonet" with her half-brothers, John, Walter and Thomas Bryson, in George Hutcheson's Will, it may be inferred that she was the eldest of Margaret Hill's children by her second marriage; also that her full-brother and sister, George and Elizabeth Pollock, were not then (1639) born; that Margaret Hill's first husband, John Bryson, was dead, and she married to her second husband, James Pollock, before the year 1638, when she would be about 26 years of age; although this date for her second marriage seems a little at variance, although not necessarily inconsistent with her designation in the Contract above mentioned in 1642 as "Relict of umquhile John Brysoun."

Margaret, the daughter of Ninian Hill of Garioch, was apparently married at an early age, on 26 August 1628, [Footnote: Hill, Munimenta, Volume 1 Part 2 No. 3 Page 5. Extracts from Register of Marriages] first to John Bryson, father of John Bryson, the Bailie, and I think that her first husband was designated by Crawfurd, the historian, as a Bailie of Glasgow, from confusion with the fact that her eldest son, John Bryson, [Footnote: Offspring, etc., Hill, Munimenta, Volume 2 Part 5 No. 13; also Cleland's Annals of Glasgow, Volume 1 Page 167] in 1680, as well as her second husband [James] Pollock, a son of Balgray, [Footnote: Descendants, etc., Hill, Munimenta, Volume 2 Part 5 No. 14; also Cleland's Annals, Volume 1 Pages 136 et seq] in 1652, 1659, 1664 and 1667, were Bailies of the City.

Her Bryson Descendants

From the above-mentioned sources it would accordingly appear that Margaret Hill's issue were as follows, viz:

By her first husband, John Bryson, Merchant in Glasgow, [Footnote: For notices respecting the Brysons see History of Hutchesons' Hospital Published 1881 Pages 14 and 15] viz:

1. John Bryson, Merchant, and Bailie of Glasgow, one of the "oyes" mentioned in George Hutcheson's Will, who mortified lands in Garngadhill to Hutchesons' Hospital in 1705, and was the father of John Bryson, younger of Craigallian, from whom, through his daughter

(a) Marion Bryson or Hamilton, the Hamiltons of Barns and Cochna, [Footnote: Pedigree of Hills, etc., No. 96] and Hamilton Dundas of Duddingstone; ' [Footnote: Pedigree of Hills, etc., No. 101] through another daughter, Cochno House, Clydebank, Dunbartonshire G81 5QJ 55.9374176, -4.4078906

(b) Isabella Bryson or Dreghorn, [Footnote: Pedigree of Hills, etc., No. 104; also subsequent numbers] of the family of Blochairn and Ruchill, the Dennistouns of Colgrain, Baillie of Polkemmet, and others; and through his remaining daughter,

(c) Jean Bryson or Leitch, [Footnote: Pedigree of Hills, etc., No. 110] of the family of Kilmardinny, the Murdochs, and the Yuilles of Darleith, were all connected with the Hill family.

2. Walter Bryson, and

3. Thomas Bryson, both also above mentioned as "oyes" in George Hutcheson's Will, but of whom I have traced nothing further.

Her Pollock Descendants.

And from the same sources, and also on the authority of the Genealogical Table of the Hamilton-Grays of Carntyne, and their connections, the Chapmans, Wardrops, and Lyons, [Footnote: Hill, Munimenta Miscellanea, No. 1, Papers relating to Grays of Carntyne] it further appears that by her second husband, James Pollock, Margaret Hill had issue, viz:

4. Jonet or Janet Pollock.

5. George Pollock, Curate at Kilmarnock, who apparently married his cousin, a daughter of the then Pollock of Balgray.

6. Robert Pollock, a Stationer in Dublin; and

7. Elizabeth Pollock, spouse of Robert Chapman, Merchant in Glasgow, [Footnote: Pedigree of Hills, etc., No. 129] through whose eldest son, John Chapman, and Helen Wardrop, of the Dalmarnock family, spouses, by their daughter Isabella Chapman, who married John Gray of Dalmarnock and Carntyne — in addition to the connection with the Hamilton-Grays of Carntyne through Marion Hill, after-mentioned — a connection exists between the families of Gray and Hill.

Detailed information respecting the families and descendants of most of the above will be found under the appropriate head or "Sept" in the before-mentioned MS. Pedigree of Hills, etc., and also in the MS. volume titled, "Family Tree of the Hutchesons, etc."
