I have a testament for John Wyllie, 1669, that names the following witnesses -

"... Mr. Wm Gemmill brother germane to Johne Gemmill of Templehous & Alexr Steill sone lawfull to John Steill in Commonecraig..."

Hope this helps someone. You can contact me for details

You are so right, there they are. I love those folks at the FHSs who work to put these indexes online for us all to use. Do you know if the CD has a transcription of the OPR burial/death record, or the MI, either, both?

Thanks again,
Katherine

Thanks so much for looking, Donna. As you said, none of the ages match to be my Hugh Parker, but at least I can cross this particular record source off my list of records to try. I notice that most of the deaths are of chilldren. I wonder if that reflects the true proportion of child to adult deaths in those days, or that a child's death was more likely to be noted in the parish records than an adult's death.
