Note: The Birth Dates of many people in this Patrick Line are incorrect, dates made up to fit a narrative told by Dr. Lee Wellington Patrick, but dates that do not match with the source material. Burke's Landed Gentry contains the dates many in this line inherited their property, meaning after the death of the parent, but most contain no actual birth or death dates.

PATRICK or TREARNE AND HESSILHEAD.

The ancestor of the different families of the name of Patrick, who now hold property in Ayrshire, were settled and held situations about the Monastery of Kilwinning long before the Reformation. John Patrick attests, as a notary public, a charter connected with the Church, dated 19th July, 1459, afterwards ratified in Parliament. William Patrick is a subscribing witness to a tack of the teinds of Dalry, granted by Alexander, Commendator of Kilwinning, to John Hamilton, in 1549. This family became early converts to the Protestant religion, and joined the reformers, under the Earl of Glencairn. Some of them accompanied the expedition to the north of Ireland, under Hugh Montgomerie of Braidstane, afterwards Viscount Ardes. A branch of the family settled at the time in Ireland, whose descendants still hold property near Derry. WILLIAM PATRICK,* the first of this family, obtained from the Monastery a grant of the lands of Overmains, near Kilwinning. He was succeeded by his son, JOHN PATRICK. The charter of Overmains, in favour of John Patrick, and Eupham Roger, his spouse, is dated in 1602. He also acquired the lands of Byres, which had belonged to the Monastery, and obtained a charter of them, in favour of him and his wife, in 1605. He afterwards acquired part of the lands of Dalgarven. He died in 1638, leaving five sons, to each of whom he gave landed property-

• 1. Hew, his successor.
• 2. Robert, infeft in part of Dalgarven.
• 3. James, infeft in another part of Dalgarven and Whitehirst in 1638, who married Agnes Finlay, and left six sons, all of whom after his death assumed the surname of KILPATRICK, viz.
• 4. John, infeft in part of Byres.
• 5. Alexander, who was also infeft in part of Byres, in 1638. He married Joana Greg, only daughter of William Greg of Balligellie, in the country of Antrim, Northern Ireland.

There are some old tombstones still remaining in Kilwinning churchyard, on which are the names and arms of this family.
