ABERDEEN (cont.) Chronicle of Aberdeen (OPR 168A/1, 12, and 18). A chronologically-arranged transcription of “The Chronicle of Aberdeen 1491 to 1594” was published in “The miscellany of the Spalding Clubvolume second” (Aberdeen 1842). The preface (xxi-xxxi) explains that the original volumes of baptisms, marriages and deaths were preserved in the Charter-room of the City of Aberdeen. They had been created for his private use by Walter Cullen (1526-c1610), Vicar and Reader of Aberdeen. The city had paid his daughter, Margaret, two pounds for them after his death. The register also includes lists of elders and deacons, verses and recipes for medical prescriptions. The ‘Detailed list of the Old Parochial Registers of Scotland’ (Registrar General for Scotland, 1872) does not include a reference to the early entries in the Chronicle or the historical lists. Two entries have been found among baptisms for 1570-1590: Bessie Praitt, daughter of Thomas and wife of Walter Cullen, died 7 December 1538 and Sir William Cowper, chaplain to the parish kirk of Aberdeen died 23 April 1539.
