This is very unlikely - the minister at New Monkland from 1759 to 1793 was Revd. Patrick Maxwell, followed by Revd. Thomas Freebairn/Fairbairn from 1794 to 1800. [via Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae available via www.ecclegen.com]
Gadget's suggestion of something to do with the Stamp Duty Acts[such as Did Not Pay, or Duty Not Paid] seems more persuasive given that the annotations only seem to appear when these were in force .
