| Description | Instrument of sasine and resignation narrating that Master Gilbert Gray, burgess of Aberdeen, as brother germain and heir of the late Master Patrick Gray, was given possession of an annual feu-ferme of £10 Scots to be uplifted from a tenement on the north side of the Castlegate of Aberdeen. [This tenement, bounded by the lands of George Richard on the east, by those of James Cruikshank on the west and north, and by the highway on the south, had been sold by Patrick’s father, Gilbert Gray, to John Weys, fisherman burgess of Aberdeen, in return for the payment of the annual feu-ferme]. On receiving possession of the feu-ferme, the grantee immediately resigned it into the hands of William Gray, baillie of the burgh, in favour of George Richard, burgess, and his heirs, and Richard was thereupon given sasine of the same. Notary, Thomas Mollesoun. [The seal of William Gray, baillie of the burgh, was originally appended, but only the tag remains.] |
