Notes
John
Pitcairn’s third son Patrick was one of the Grooms of the
Bed-chamber in James VI’s reign and on April 28th
1588 at Greenwich, is indorsed “Mr Ferdinando’s warrant for
his entertainment as Groom of the Chamber 26th May
1603. “Patrick
Pitcairn the like, 21st Jun 1603 and 12th
July 1603. Miles
Rainsford, John Repton, Edward Lascelles, Robert le Gris, and
Patrick Pitcairn in one bill.”
What their entertainment was we do not hear.”
On 19th
Oct. of the same year at Winchester, warrant for yearly livery to
Patrick Pitcairn, Groom of the Privy Chamber.”
From
another entry at Wilton 4th Dec of the same year, we
find what the livery must have been, as “there is a warrant to
Sir George Hume, Master of the Great Wardrope, to deliver to John
Auchmuty, Patrick Pitcairn, John Gibbs and John and George Murray
(cousins), ordinary Grooms of the Privy Chamber, a damask or satin
gown bound with velvet and furred, a velvet coat and dounblet, a
marble cloth coat, guarded with velvet, and another of green cloth
also bound with velvet,
and to pay for materials for making.”
Patrick
Pitcairn’s will was drawn up the 16th of August and
is in the Edinburgh Testaments 1620.
He died at Freuchy.
