1. 'Greenbank House was built for Robert Allason, a Glasgow merchant, about 1763. It had no fewer than five owners between 1763 and 1796 when it was purchased by John Hamilton of Rogerton, East Kilbride from Maitland Hutchison, whose father Alexander, a successful West Indies merchant, had purchased nearby Southfield Estate in 1771' [other sources show Alexander as the brother of Maitland and Hugh Hutcheson].

2. Greenbank's proprietors included Maitland Hucheson [sic] 'residing at Renfield' and Hugh Hutcheson of Southfield, Mearns.
