All persons having claims against Daniel Johnston, deceased, formerly tenant in Holm of Dinwoodie, in the Parish of Applegarth and County of Dumfries, are desired to give in a note of them, and how they are vouched, to Wellwood Maxwell of Barncleugh here, in order that a state of his affairs may be made up, and a dividend of the funds recovered made. Not to be repeated." WELLWOOD MAXWELL of Barncleugh was born in 1747 to James Johnstone, brother of Thomas Johnstone of Clauchrie, and his wife Barbara Maxwell. He changed his name to Maxwell in 1776 under the terms of an inheritance from a Maxwell uncle. He was a wealthy surgeon who had worked in Calcutta, and who married Catherine Maxwell, daughter of John Maxwell of Terraughty.
