Note

There is no record when Hugh Smith died, but John, George and Jean were living in the Temple Darvel house in 1800. Jean died and John and George divided equally between them the land of Temple Darvel amounting to 4 1/2 acres. John Smith married Jean Muir and built a house for himself. This house was in Main Street West and stood opposite the Church on the south side of Main Street. The house was in appearance like Temple Darvel with a thatched roof. It had and an entry(?) way from front to back, and on the left there was a four roomed shop, for John Smith was a weaver. On the right was a kitchen with two beds. These beds had shutters which were drawn together during the daytime. There was a spence, small room beyond the kitchen.

According to the will (or testament) of Hugh Smith he must have been a wealthy man. He left to Moses in Newmilns: All my houses, yards, lands in Newmilns all household and furniture, utensils and domestics and about the houses belonging to him with right of property and possessions, all rents, mails and duties, plus Five pound land ?? in London, with the burden of paying lawful debts, excepting deathbed and funeral expenses, and burden of paying yearly fee annuity of twelve shillings to daughter Jean Smith.

Nicolas Smith: Weaver in Darvel: 300 Merks Scots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merk_(coin)
Jean Smith: 800 Merks Scots - in case of marriage her husband excluded from active right or pretention (?) over sum of 800 Merks Scots.

Nicolas, Jean, John and George: Equal shares all and whole of movable subjects in and about dwelling house in Darvel, Gold and Silver, "couried and uncouried, debts and sums of money, bonds, bills, accounts due and indepted to Hugh Smith, also corn and cattle.

In time James and Jean died and their share was conveyed to John and George Smith.

Hugh Smith and Children, Jean, John and George went to live in Darvel.

Note: From Pictorial History of Darvel: Temple Derval was the house George Lambie, blacksmith, and was situated on land behind and to the west of Hastings Square. Built in 1745 the view here is from an old painting. The land was once in possession of the Knights Templar until the Order was suppressed in Scotland in 1309. The eastern portion of the lands of Temple Derval were occupied at the end of last century by the lace mill of Alexander Morton & Co. The house itself pay part of the way down and across what is now Temple Street, so called to commemorate it and the earliest recorded history of the town. It was taken down around 1851.
