| 38 | ROBERT ALEXANDER, his son, had a sassine in 1579 of the land and house in Calsiesyde, which belonged in 1541 to John Dowgill. And in 1583 there was a contract between James Stewart of Ardgowan, and the above-mentioned Robert Alexander for some land in Calsiesyde. source: Burke, Bernard. A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, Volume 1, Fourth Edition. London, UK: Harrison, 1868. In 1579 John Alexander of the Paisley Tak is named in a deed preserved in the family. In the same year, Robert Alexander, with his wife, Janet Mathie, purchased, at the cross of Paisley, “the Pasley Tak,” situated on the east side of the house and land possessed by John Alexander (Charter in possession of the family of Ballochmyle). Robert Alexander is described as “chamberlain” to my Lord of Paisley in 1597, when he was created a burgess of the burgh (Burgh Records). He had a son, John, who married, in 1598, Elizabeth Carswell, by whom he had two sons, Robert and James, and two daughters, Catherine and Janet. Both the daughters were married. source: Rogers, Charles. Memorials of the Earl of Stirling and of the House of Alexander, Volume 2. Edinburgh, UK: William Paterson, 1877. | Alexander, Robert (I53)
|
| 39 | Robert, elder son of John Alexander and Elizabeth Carswell, was born in 1604. He was a solicitor in Paisley; in 1647 he was elected a magistrate. He purchased, in 1648, the estate of Blackhouse, near Ayr; in 1665 the estate of Boghall, Ayrshire; and in 1670 the lands of Newtoun, Renfrewshire. He married first, in 1633, Marion, daughter of Claud Hamilton of Blackhole, by his wife, Janet Orr, who died in 1648; and secondly, Janet, daughter and co-heiress of David Henderson, burgess of Paisley, by his wife, Isobel Algeo. In an infeftment, dated 3d June 1662, are named “Robert Alexander of Blackhouse, and Janet Henderson his spouse.” In the chancel of Paisley Abbey a tombstone was placed by Robert Alexander, to denote his right of sepulture in that sacred edifice. It is inscribed with his initials and the initials of his two wives, with their respective shields. By his first wife, Robert Alexander of Blackhouse had several children. Of these, two sons, James and Claud, and two daughters, Janet and Marion, survived him. Janet, the elder daughter, married James Dunlop of Dovecot, and had issue. Marion, the younger daughter, married, in 1678, John Maxwell of Brediland, and had issue. Of Robert Alexander’s second marriage were born two sons, Robert and John. John settled in Carolina. He died on 8th October 1699, and his testament-dative and inventory were, in January 1707, “made and given up by Robert Alexander, one of the Principal Clerks of Session.” Among those indebted to him appears the name of William, Lord Ross, who had originally granted a bond to his father, the late Robert Alexander of Blackhouse (Edin. Com. Reg., vol. lxxxiii.). source: Rogers, Charles. Memorials of the Earl of Stirling and of the House of Alexander, Volume 2. Edinburgh, UK: William Paterson, 1877. The families of this branch use the following armorial bearings: Alexander of Boghall and Blackhouse bears, “parted per pale argent and sable, a chevron betwixt a writing-pen fessways in chief, and a crescent in base, all counterchanged; above the shield, an helmet befitting his degree, mantled gules, double argent; next is placed on a torse for crest, a hand holding a quill proper; the motto in scroll, “Fidem Serva.’ Matriculated 26th July 1673” (Lyon Register). source: Rogers, Charles. Memorials of the Earl of Stirling and of the House of Alexander, Volume 2. Edinburgh, UK: William Paterson, 1877. Robert Alexander and Marion Hamilton had two sons, -James, born in 1634, (minister of Kilmalcolm) who died in 1669; and Claud, born in 1645, (of Newton) who died in 1703; besides two daughters, Janet and Marion. Robert Alexander was appointed Town-clerk of Paisley, at the municipal election in September, 1634, at which time his father-in-law, Claud Hamilton, had been chosen eldest bailie. Robert Alexander was an elder of the Abbey Church, and wrote the desposition of Margaret Hamilton, the guidwife of Ferguslie, when she was catechised and examined on oath, in her house at Ferguslie, by Mr. Henry Calvert, minister of the Abbey and Commissioner of the Presbytery, on 20th June, 1643, as to her reasons for not attending the Presbyterian Kirk. Mr. Alexander was afterwards appointed clerk of the Presbytery of Paisley, on 27th March, 1645. In 1646-47, he was a Councillor of the Burgh, and it was concluded by a quorum of the Council, on 24th May, 1647 (and I would conclude he was one of them), “that ther sall be ane neu “knock bocht for the toune upon Wednesday next, “the xxvi instant”; and commissioned “John Vauss and James Alexander to goe in to Glasgow and buy the ane in the hands of John Steill.” James Alexander was his brother, and several times a Bailie of Paisley in 1647-8, and on three subsequent occasions. During the term of his office of Bailie, a bell was obtained for the spire or steeple, then at the corner of High-street and Moss-street, bearing the following inscription:- “SOLI DEO GLORIA CORNELIS OVDEROCGE FECIT EN D I O ROTTERDAM ANNO DOMINI 1648.” “Glory to God alone. Made by Cornelius Ouderocge, bell-maker and organ-builder, Rotterdam, in the year of our Lord, 1648.” An on the middle of the bell,- “FOR THE TOWNE OF PASLAY.” source: Semple, David. Saint Mirin: An Historical Account of Old Houses, Old Families, and Olden Times, in Paisley. Paisley, UK: J. & J. Cook, 1872. Robert Alexander succeeded to the “Paslay Tak,” and he purchased the estate of Blackhouse, near Ayr, in 1648; Boghall, in Ayrshire, in 1665; and Newton, near Paisley, in 1670; besides a great number of other properties in the Burgh of Paisley. On acquiring the lands of Blackhouse, he took the title “of Blackhouse,” was as proud of it as his father-in-law was that of Blackhole, for it was inserted in the testing clause of every deed, written by or for him in his business, and can be seen in the contract of sale, dated 3rd May, 1658, between Lord Cochran (Earl of Dundonald), and the Town Council of Paisley, of the superiority of the Burgh by the former to the latter, “writtin be Robert Alexander of blackhous, wrytter in Paislaye.” It has been frequently mentioned that this Blackhouse was situated in the parish of Mearns, but that is a mistake. His wife, Marion Hamilton, died in 1648. Robert Alexander married (2nd) Janet Henderson, daughter and one of the two heiresses of David Henderson, who was the owner of the property now No. 10 High-street, Paisley. They had two sons, Robert, born in 1656 (one of the principal clerks of the Court of Session), and John, born in 1664 (merchant, Carolina). During his lifetime he was very considerately conveyed several properties to his younger children, for their help and supplement, “to ane competency of leiving “thereafter;” and, in particular, he granted the present property to his fourth and youngest son, John Alexander. To his second son, Claud Alexander (named after his maternal grandfather, Claud Hamilton of Blackhole), he conveyed the property between the old meal market (now 26 High-street) and Bailie Wallace’s house (now 29 High-street), which was formerly noticed in the second lecture, and also his property in Causeyside, called Calseyland, on 24th September, 1669. In 1670, he purchased the lands of Newton, taking the title to himself in liferent, and Claud, his second son, in fee. I found an infeftment registered on 16th September, 1675, in favour of Robert Alexander of Blackhouse, Mr. Robert, Claud, and John Alexander, his sons, and John Alexander, oye to the said Robert Alexander of Blackhouse, of the ten-shilling land of Wester Walkinshaw. The oye (named after his maternal grandfather, John Maxwell of Southbar) was the only son of Mr. James Alexander, A.M., ordained minister of Kilmalcolm, in March, 1655, and deprived of his church by the Privy Council, on 1st October, 1662. In 1673, the armorial bearings of Robert Alexander of Blackhouse, and his motto, Fidem Servia, were matriculated in the Lyon Register Office. Fidem Servia was also his motto to Notarial Instruments. He died in 1687, in the 83rd year of his age. In the ruinous chancel of the famous Monastery of Paisley, there is a flat tombstone with the following initials and armorial representations:- R (Alexander Arms.) A M (Hamilton Arms.) H J (Henderson Arms.) H The first initials are those of Robert Alexander of Blackhouse, with the year of erection; the second initials are those of Marion Hamilton, his first wife; and the third initials are those of Janet Henderson, his second wife. In 1807, a tombstone was laid at the right or south side of the lapidary initial and armorial monument to the memory of one of his great-great-grandchildren, sister of Wilhelmina Alexnader, and married to her cousin, Claud Neilson, bearing the following inscription:- “LOCKHART ALEXANDER, wife of CLAUD NEILSON, died 13th January, 1807, aged 47”; and, twenty years afterwards, there was added for her husband, another great-great-grandchild:- “CLAUD NEILSON, died 6th November, 1825, aged 67.” In 1869, there was engraved on the Neilson tombstone an explanatory reading of the initials, with additional information:- “The adjoining grave is the burial-place of ROBERT ALEXANDER of Boghall and Blackhouse, Born 1604, eldest son of JOHN ALEXANDER and ELIZABETH CARSWELL. Also, of his 1st wife, MARION, Daughter of CLAUD HAMILTON. Their 2nd son, CLAUD ALEXANDER of Newton, died in 1703. Also, his second wife, JANET, daughter of DAVID HENDERSON.” source: Semple, David.

Robert Alexander of Blackhouse, in the parish of Mearns, a small estate of about fifty acres. He was born in 1604, and apprenticed to John Quhyt, writer in Paisley. He had a long and prosperous career: writer and Town-Clerk about 1636, and Bailie of Paisley in 1648, and again at various times in subsequent years. He acquired the lands of Boghall, near Ayr, in 1648. The feu-charter, by James, second Earl of Abercorn, is dated 7th June of that year, in favour of Robert Alexander, Esq., of all, &c., the two merk lands of Boghall, with houses, &c., glebes, fishings, used and wont, in the water of Ayr, parts and pertinents; and all and whole the lands of Chappellands, comprehending therein the lands of Dykes and Smiddyhill, and the mill of Dalmilling, lying in the barony of Monkton and Dalmilling, regality of Paisley, bailiary of Kyle-Stewart, and shire of Ayr.

On the 25th May, 1668, he had a disposition in favour of himself in liferent, and of his son, James Alexander, in fee, of the 42s. land of Woodquarter, called Thornyflat, from Allan Hunter, who had a feu-charter of the same from John, second Lord Barganie, 31st May, 1665. He had also a disposition and assignation, in the same terms, of the lands of Boghall, from John Cuninghame, Esq. of Baidland, and Robert Gordon of Boghall, and John Gordon, his eldest son, dated 22d June, 1665.
