Signatures as the first seven to the preceding Minute; but Bailiff David Owen's purports to be his autograph, and the name of Alexr. Pursell comes second. Old Mr. Pursell wrote his baptismal name in a very trembling hand, and his surname was then written for him. This is the last signature of Alexander Pursell senior. Bailiff Owen appears to have been illiterate, as his name has evidently been signed to all the Minutes by the hands of other writers. See Vol. II., p.122, footnote 2; where, however, Bailiff Owen's baptismal name is erroneously given as James.
