0 John QUHITSONE Cupargrange, near Perth? d1601 m Elizabeth/Bessie MEIK

The source of the material is research done in part
by Messrs Miller & Bryce, professional searchers of records, Edinburgh, for
Sir TB WHITSON, who lived in 1935 at 21 Rutland St, Edinburgh, lent to me
by his son. Sir Thomas writes (with some editing by me of his different
versions, including turning his descendency chart into a numbered system):

1931 version: WHITSON is an ancient Scottish surname derived from the lands of
WHITSOME in the Merse district of SE Berwickshire.

1935 version: The tradition in the family handed down is that there were 3
Norwegian brothers who in the 9th century - the days of the Vikings - came over
in their galleys & remained in Scotland.  One landed in the estuary of the Tay,
one in Berwickshire & the 3rd in Galloway. He who landed in the Tay was
called QUHITSON as near as the sound can be spelt, although the name
really was WHITSON the son of WHITE. (The name is pronounced QUHITSON
in Shetland today, 1935.) (1934 version:  .. landed between Montrose & the Tay,
& fought his way inland to the no-mans-land between the Highlands & the
Lowlands, the land raided by both.

The brother who landed in Galloway was called HEWITSON & the name is still so
pronounced & spelt there. (1934 version: in Dumfriesshire the name is spelt &
prounced HEWITSON.) The brother who landed in Berwickshire was, & all his
descendents still are, called WHITSUM. (1934 v: & his descendants owned at one
time the lands of WHITSOME in the Merse district of SE Berwickshire.)

Unless a family owned land it is extremely difficult to trace ancestry in
Scotland previous to say 1700 & even those families who did possess land in
Scotland have been handicapped in tracing ancestors & connections by the fact
that all the early records were carried off by the English King Edward 1
& were lost when the ship bearing them north home again was wrecked in the
Wash.

Parish records are found to have large gaps. Then again The Black Death, The
Plague, raids by enemies, National & Civil, are matters which at different
times have caused blanks to appear. The records of Perth & Angus are no
exception.

It is known that there was a William WHITSON, a burgess in Perth & a Bailie
who in 1375 founded a chaplainry in the New Chapel of St James,Perth. A son
Alexander also a Burgess in Perth, who had property in the Speygate,
confirmed in 1423 his father's grant. Alexander's son John QUHITSUM was
Provost of Perth c1450, & witnessed a deed in 1461.

Between those dates 1375 & 1423 the famous combat took place in 1396 on the
North Inch Perth between Clan CHATTAN & Clan KAY made familiar by Sir Walter
Scott in "The fair maid of Perth". In 1437 King James 1 was murdered in Perth
by Walter Earl of Athole.

The city of Perth was visited by the Plague in 1512, 1585-87, 1608, & 1645.
Much loss of life was caused by floods in 1210, 1621, & 1740. The city was
taken by Montrose in 1644, capitulated to Cromwell in 1651, & was occupied by
Viscount Dundeen in 1689 - probably the most difficult period in the history
of Scotland. It was recovered by Argyll from the Jacobites in 1715 & occupied
by Prince Charles Edward in 1745.

The descendents of John WHITSON, Provost of Perth c1451, seem to have possessed
3 properties near Perth. In order of size Park Hill, Rattry near Blairgowrie,
Mudhall 1648, Isla Park in the county of Angus, & Aberbothrie, a farm near
Alyth.

The baptism records of Angus record numerous sons born to the WHITSON family,
yet few seem to have survived.
