PollocK, Feuar, Viewhill Revd J. Wilson U.P. [United Presbyterian] Minister of Bellshill* J. Bainbridge. Engineer. Mossend. Forrest's Co. [County] Map | 012.05 | The origin of this name, which applies to a little village, a few chains west of "Mossend," on the side of the T.P. [Turnpike] Road, is not Known, and all the personal authorities quoted give their mode more from custom or sound than from; any knowledge of the proper spelling.* This, in the case of the U.P. [United Presbyterian] Minister's authority, is merely given from preference. Innumerable authorities of Tenants & workmen might be quoted, if necessary, for "MuirmadKin", which is the spelling according to the way it is pronounced generally by the working people of the district. Too much importance should not be attached to the spelling as given in Val. [Valuation] Roll. Voters' List, & the Feuar's Titles of Viewhill", as the Lawyer, who wrote the Titles, is Inspector of Poor and also arranges the voters' List for the Parish. Mr. christie's authority & his Estate map are the most reliable authorities for "Muirmadzean", he being the superior of the Lands of "Muirmadzean", or MuirmadKin". Mr. Neilson's authority for the popular mode, "MuirmadKin", is as important as any, both from his position, & property as a Feuar in the place and about it. Mr. Webster's authority, though not concerned as a Proprietor or Factor, was solicited for additional information. Many others have been applied to for the spelling of this name, but they could not give an authority for it. |
