J. Murray Esqr.

Rent Roll
012.11 A Plantation (mixed) east of Cleland House, the property of the Earl of Stair. By some the origin of this name is said to be nae build or shelter, a term or origin which, upon the authority of the Factor, is quite inconsistent with the situation of the plantation, it being much sheltered from the nature of the surrounding grounds. The Factor therefore knows nothing of the proper spelling except that he uses it as he found it in the Books connected with the Estate. Mr. Murray & the other authorities do not know the mode of spelling, & they must therefore be taken as identifying the name instead of authorizing the spelling.
