• In 1144, David and Bishop John of Glasgow prompted Kelso Abbey to found a daughter house, Lesmahagow Priory

de Hawic

• John (12th C.) mentioned in a charter granted by Anselm de Molla (i.e., Mow) to Melrose Abbey in the reign of William I, where one of the witnesses was Roger, son of ‘John de Hawic’. This was in the period 1170 to 1190. He is probably also the John of Hawick who witnessed the charter of Henry Lovel of 2 oxgangs of lands in Branxholme to the Priory of St. Andrews in the period 1163 to 1183.
• John (14th C.) received a letter of presentation to the Church of Hawick from Edward III of England (as holder of the lands belonging to the heir of Richard Lovel) in 1355/6. He is the only known example of someone clearly within Hawick itself having the appellation ‘de Hawick’. He may also have been mentioned in other documents of the time, e.g. in a letter of safe conduct for him and 4 mounted companions to visit various holy places in England in 1365/6. His son Roger was witness to a charter connected with Melrose Abbey at about the same time. Nothing more is known about him, although he may be the same person as John Fleming who is recorded as holding the Church of Hawick until 1363.
• John de Hawic (14th C.) To the official of Paris. Mandate to collate John de Hawic, priest,perpetual vicar of the parish Church of Donlop, Glasgow diocese,to a canonry of Glasgow and the prebend of Casteltarris, to thevalue of 8 marks sterling, vacant by the provision by the pope ofJohn Vaus to another canonry of Glasgow and the prebend ofVeteriroxburg [18 Jan., 1388]. John, who is said to have studiedcanon law for five years at Oxford and Paris and to have been achaplain of the late cardinal Walter, is dispensed to retain the perpetual vicarage.
• John (14th C.) Canon of Glasgow who is recorded as witnessing a deed relating to the Hospital of Polmadie in 1395. Whether he is the same as any of the other Johns is unknown.
• John (14th C.) granted a letter of protection by Richard II in 1380, along with several other clergymen, in order to pursue studies for a year at Oxford. He was described as a clerk (‘John de Hawewyk, Clerk’). He may be the same as the following entry.
• John (14th/15th C.) priest and bachelor of Canon Law who is mentioned many times in Glasgow Diocese records from 1384 until 1410. He may be the same John described above. He petitioned the Pope for a benefice in 1384 and appears to have been appointed Vicar of Dunlop. In 1387 he asked for a canonry of Aberdeen, but seems to have obtained a living in Glasgow. He was proposed as Precentor of Glasgow in 1398 and probably succeeded Henry Wardlaw in about 1403, when Wardlaw was promoted to Archdeacon. However, he appears to have been dispossessed around 1403–6 by William de Lauder. He resigned Dunlop sometime before 1404. By 1405 he also had the canonry of Petty and Brackly, a prebend of Moray in Inverness-shire. His canonry of Glasgow was confirmed in 1406. The Prebendary appears to have been Carstairs (‘Castiltanys’), but exchanged for Renfrew in 1410. In 1406 he also held the Canonry and Prebend of Petyt and Brachlyn in Moray. In 1409 he received the further Canonry of ‘Moy’ in Moray
• John (14th/15th C.) Vicar of St. Mary’s, Edrom, in Berwickshire and Kinkel in Aberdeen, he is recorded as sending no less than 4 petitions to the Pope in 1394. He asks for a canonry in Moray, a canonry in Aberdeen, a canonry in St. Andrews and a benefice in the gift of the Bishop of St. Andrews. He is referred to as priest, honorary papal chaplain and scholar of canon law at Avignon. He also had the support of Prince David (Duke of Rothesay, eldest son of King Robert III) in petitioning for a canonry of Dunkeld. He resigned Edrom about 1401, since in 1419 John Brown is said to have unlawfully held the vicarage of Edrom for 18 years after it was vacant following his resignation; however, it is unclear when he died, or if he might be the same as one of the other Johns.
• John (14th/15th C.) another of the same name is mentioned along with the precentor of Glasgow in a charter of 1408, where he is described as ‘Sir John of Hawik, presbyter and notary public’. He may be the same as one of the next described.
• John (14th/15th C.) notary public who is recorded in legal documents connected with the Diocese of Glasgow in the years 1413 (relating to Andrew Kinglass), 1429, 1440, 1446/7 (relating to a mill in Glasgow) and 1450.
• John (d.1431/2) Precentor in the Church of Glasgow, apparently separate from the earlier one recorded in in the period 1384–1410 (but this is not certain). He is recorded in Glasgow Diocese records of 1417, 1425 and 1429. He appears to have held the office of Precentor (or Chanter) 1398–1432, and his recent death is mentioned in late 1432. He was appointed by Henry Wardlaw, when he became Archdeacon of Glasgow, but was dispossessed by William de Lauder around 1403–06. In 1431 he was described as Canon of Glasgow when he resigned some of his other benefices. He witnessed a charter for John Maxwell in 1423. His death was recorded in March 1431/2, and in 1436 ‘David Cadw’ was presented to the precentorship of Glasgow, vacated after his death.
• John (14th/15th C.) Vicar of Saltoun, mentioned in 1414 as receiving money on behalf of Patrick of Abernethy, nephew of the Regent Albany. He is noted as ‘domini Johannis Hawike’. married William Marshall.
• John (14th/15th C.) Vicar of Saltoun, mentioned in 1414 as receiving money on behalf of Patrick of Abernethy, nephew of the Regent Albany. He is noted as ‘domini Johannis Hawike’. married William Marshall.
• John (15th C.) recorded in 1448 as ‘Johanne de Havic’ when he was witness to the sasine for Birkwood and Burnflat. The other witnesses were all Scotts, and so it seems likely he was a local man.
• John (15th C.) Vicar of Dunlop, whose name appears in a deed of the vicarage of Glencairn in 1454, ‘Magistro Johanne Hawyc, baculario in decretis, vicario de Dunlop’. This surely cannot be the same John who was Vicar of Dunlop 67 years earlier. He resigned the vicarage by 1477, when the new holder of the benefice promised to give an annual pension to his servant Richard Hutchison.
• John (15th C.) seaman who is recorded (along with John Christison) in the Exchequer Rolls of 1459 in connection with 2 voyages to transport wheat and barley from Findhorn to Leith.
• John (15th/16th C.) notary and presbyter who is also referred to in some documents as a chaplain (assuming these are the same person) in Glasgow Diocese records of 1507–13.
• John (14th/15th C.) mentioned in a petition of 1416 by William de Coluny. He apparently had a prebend in the Collegiate Church of Abernethy, but about this time was appointed to the Archdeaconry of Sodar instead.
• John (14th/15th C.) resigned the perpetual vicarage of Mearns in 1422. He may be the same as one of the other contemporary Johns.
• John (15th C.) mentioned in a law suit debating who has the living of Kylmany Church in the diocese of St. Andrews in 1432. He is described as ‘John Hawik’.
• John (15th C.) precentor of Glasgow who appears in the records of the College of Glasgow in 1435. Perhaps this is confusion with the Precentor of the same name who died about 1432.
• John (15th C.) recorded in 1448 as ‘Johanne de Havic’ when he was witness to the sasine for Birkwood and Burnflat. The other witnesses were all Scotts, and so it seems likely he was a local man.
• John (15th C.) Vicar of Dunlop, whose name appears in a deed of the vicarage of Glencairn in 1454, ‘Magistro Johanne Hawyc, baculario in decretis, vicario de Dunlop’. This surely cannot be the same John who was Vicar of Dunlop 67 years earlier. He resigned the vicarage by 1477, when the new holder of the benefice promised to give an annual pension to his servant Richard Hutchison.
