1610 William Bailie a native of Aye in Scotland, was given 1000 acres of land in Toneregie in the Barony of Clankee, which was later known as Bailieburrow. He was known as an undertaker, the land was given to him under certain conditions. These conditions specified that within two years he undertook to erect a house and bawne for himself, build houses for his tenants and collect rents from them. The annual payment he was liable for to King James I was reduced somewhat if he settled Scottish tenants on his lands. He had to provide and store some blunderbusses and muskets so he could arm a number of men. A condition required every undertaker to take what was called an ‘Oath of Supremacy’ which swore allegiance to the King as supreme ruler in both Church and State.
