It appears from the Valuation Book that the Commissioners of Supply (14th December 1798)
on the application of James Cleland of Auchinlee and Thomas McLeay
Writer in Edinr [Edinburgh] did inter alia ordain James Clelands Lands of Fairnieshaw or
Spring Wells stated to be of the Valuation of £40 Scots in the Valuation Books of the County
to be inserted in the name of Thomas McLeay. But as from said Valuation Book no
such Lands appear it is presumed that they are meant to be comprehended under
the name of John Wood there.
