Date: 05:00 6/23/02 I hope that in researching the history of the Caldwells & Calwells from Lochwinnoch, Scotland, that someone would look at the notes of Andro Crafurd [Andrew Crawford], author (ca. 1836) "The Cairn of Lochwinnoch." Crafurd identified the tenants and subtenants occupying land in Lochwinnoch of Paisley Monastery, beginning in the 1300s. He also described the landlords of the who were particularly oppressive. Crafurd mentioned, for example, that in the Charter records of Paisley Abbey there is a summons at the instance of Robert, Abbott of Paisley, dated January 1504, against members of the Orr (Or) clan, John, Alan, Ninian, and Johnne. The Abbott charged the Orr clan members, "pro injustis intro mifsione, occupatione, laboratione, et manoratione terrasum", Latin for occupying land and putting the populace in fear.)
