Clan History
Between 1179 and 1190 William Passeleue (or Passelaw), witnessed charters, by William the Lion (abt.1143-abt.1214).[2][3] As William Passelewe, in 1202, witnessed a charter by Alan filius Walteri.[4] A William de Passele, around 1199, witnessed a donation of the church of Kincardin to the Abbey of Cambuskenneth.[5]
The canon of Glasgow, dominus Johannes de Passelet, was witness to the gift of half of Litel Guvan to the Hospital of Polmade in 1320.[6] A merchant of Scotland, William Passeley, goods were ordered to be released in 1389.[7]
In 1600, Henry Paslaye was a burgess freeman of Glasgow.[8] In 1616, in Aberdeen, John Paislie was made burgess.[9] "Johne Paslay decernit in ane unlaw" in 1672.[10] In Hawick, in 1689, there is a shoemaker by the name of William Paislaw recorded, and the notorious ‘priest’ of Gretna Green, Pasley or Paisley, may have taken their name from (How) pasley, originally in the barony of Hawick.[11][12]
In Dumfriesshire, there was a family of Pasleys, and a number of them distinguished themselves in public service, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
