Notes |
- JOHN VEITCH OF DAWYCK succeeded his father in his office of Presenter of Signatures in Exchequer. On 20th June, 1642, and 7th June, 1644, he was placed in the fee of the barony of Dawyck on his father's resignation, a provision being made for his brother Robert. In 1669 he was infeft in Over Glenrath. He married Isabel Greirson, and died about 1702. In his time Dawyck passed into the possession of Mr. James Naesmyth, advocate, who was infeft in it in November, 1691. Veitch was deeply in debt, and the provisions made by his father to the children of his second marriage are said to have been the chief cause. He had two sons, the second being Robert, who in 1704 had a sasine of the lands of Acrefield, was a writer in Edinburgh, and died without issue there in May, 1717.
