1676 Testament Dative - need help deciphering some words

[Zacktyr]

Hi,

I have 98% of a Testament Dative transcribed but I am stumped by several words in one section of the Will.

I have added a screenshot of the section that's giving me problems and have highlighted the troublesome words with yellow.  Time is 1676. 

Any help deciphering these words is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I can't add any more to GR2's excellent transcription, bit I was very interested to see this is a testament for a William Cochrane.
Where did he live?
I have Cochrans in and around Strathaven in Lanarkshire back into the 1600s.
I've seen the name William Cochrane crop up many times, though not actually found a William directly related.
It would be interesting to see if this might be someone from the family.

Hi, GR2,

Many thanks, again, for your assistance with this group of words.  I've learned a lot from your assistance or should I say, tutelage.  I was surprised that I did as well with the rest of this particular document and now these words will let me put this one to bed.  Thank you, so much.  I do greatly appreciate your assistance.

Hi, goldie61,

This is the Testament Dative of John Barbour of Holmes in Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire.  William Cochrane pops up at the end of this Will, almost as an afterthought.  William may be related to a James Cochrane in Jamilmuir that owed John money on a bond he had apparently given John dated 11 December 1653 for long overdue rent plus penalties.

The portion of this Will that relates to William Cochrance is:
"I William Cochrane portioner of Jamilmuirs be th[e]s[e] pr[e]s[en]tts b(o)unds and obleisst me my aires and exec[ut]ors as ca[utio]nner and soberlie acted in the
bookes of the commissariot of Glesgow. "

So, his place of residence is the same as James Cochrane's and it appears he has become bound and obligated to the widow but it is not specified if he was obligated to pay the debt owed by James Cochrane.  Neither is there any relationship of James and William specified, although I would think it fairly close as they are living in the same place.

Sorry I can't be of more help than this.

Ah. I think some way from my Cochranes in Strathaven.
There were a lot of them about! 
Thanks for replying anyway.

"I William Cochrane portioner of Jamilmuirs be th[e]s[e] pr[e]s[en]tts b(o)unds and obleisst me my aires and exec[ut]ors as ca[utio]nner and soberlie acted in the
bookes of the commissariot of Glesgow. "

Could you post this bit in the original? Jamilmuirs sounds very odd as a Scottish place name.

Hi, GR2,

I've attached two screen shots on one attachment and highlighted both.  The first one is the abode of James Cochrane and the second is the abode of William Cochrane.  They are both so similar that I settled on a combination of the two.

Although it does look as if the initial letter of the place name is I/J, I think it's actually a form of T - Tandilmur / Tannilmoire. The link below is to a map of 1636 - 52 which shows Tandlemuir. It still appears on modern maps as Tandlemuir.

If you go to the large loch at the bottom left hand side (with Lochwinoch written in it) and go a little north from there you will see Tandlemuir.

Here it is in a slightly more accurate 19th century map.
