"The son of Hugh. The family are descended from John Howison, burgess of Edinburgh, 1450. The first ancestor of the family and his son, were farmers, and rescued James I from an attack made upon him when he had strayed from his attendants, while hunting near Cramond Bridge, and having saved the king's life by beating off his assailants with their flails, held a basin and a towel to wash his wounds. For these timely services they were rewarded with a grant of the lands of Braehead, the reddendo in the charter being "Servitium Lavacri," a service that was complied with to George IV, at the banquet of the magistrates of Edinburgh in 1822. "(The origin and signification of Scottish surnames. Clifford Stanley Sims, 1862)
