    Notes:

    1 - John Wallace, was an extensive Virginia merchant, and had large estates in the West Indies.
    Mr. Glassford sold Whitehill in 1759 to John Wallace of Neilstonside, another eminent Glasgow merchant, and likewise one of the Virginia Dons. He was lineally descended from the great Scottish patriot, and was father of the well known Robert Wallace of Kelly, who represented Greenock in Parliament, and married a daughter of Sir William Forbes.
    John Wallace resided at this fine old mansion about twenty-three years. In September 1782 he sold Whitehill to Nathaniel Gordon, then a retired London merchant.
    THIS fine old mansion was situated on the north side of what is now Eastern Duke Street, at the new suburb of Dennistoun. The centre part of the House was erected by the well known John Glassford about the middle of last century. Subsequent owners made additions to harmonize. The approach was through an antique looking gateway, which was flanked by an equally old fashioned lodge. The grounds extended to about thirty-three acres.
    In those old days there was no Duke Street. An ancient, narrow, suburban road, called "the Carntyne Lone," led from the east past Whitehill Gate, and terminated at Drygate, so that the route from the heart of Glasgow to Whitehill House was up High Street to Drygate, then down that steep street and out along the green old "Lone" just mentioned - a course very circuitous and inconvenient, but not remedied till 1793, when Duke Street was opened.

    John Wallace of Neilstonside had by his third wife, Janet Colquhoun, seventeen children. He died at Kelly, aged ninety-two; one of his daughters, Mrs. James Murdoch, died in her ninety-sixth year; Robert Wallace, M.P., died in his eighty-sixth year; another daughter, Lady Cuningham Fairlie, died in her ninety-sixth year; and Sir James Maxwell Wallace, K.C.B., died at the age of eighty-four; and the longest liver of the family, Ann Wallace, his eighth child, died in her 103rd year.
