Notes
a. Note:   N6645 Witness to birth of James (25824)
 Was he “writer in Edinburgh?”
 1694 - Vauss, Mr John, Gentleman; daughter, Margaret; lodger, Rachael Baillie, widow of Mr George Hutchison, minister at Irvine; servant, Grissel Watson, at £13 a year; boy, John Grahame, unpaid.
  Here is an interesting story on "John Wause, keeper of Edinburgh Tolbooth" in October 1680 http://www.thereformation.info/tolboothescapes.htm. Here is the applicable text:
 "The period 1661-1688 is covered in The Historical Notices of Sir John Lauder of Fountainhall, and includes references to escapes from the Edinburgh and Canongate Tolbooths. As in the case of Brechin (above) not even the gaol keepers were safe from being locked up in their own prison. They were held personally responsible for the custody of persons delivered to them and had to give caution ( including undertakings by others, or bond) for sums of money they often did not have. An example of such a default was an incident in October 1680 when the Secret Council  gave a severe reproof to John Wause, keeper of Edinburgh Tolbooth, for the escape of a woman prisoner  who, it was alleged, had assisted Donald Cargill in his escape at Queensferry in June."
