John Smollett was admitted a burgess of Dumbarton in 1638. He passed an apprenticeship with James Wallace, a merchant in Edinburgh, and, on returning to Dumbarton, was several times chosen a bailie of the burgh, and on one occasion Dean of Guild. He was also Bailie-Depute of the Regality of Lennox and Provost of Dumbarton for a number of years. John Smollett was infeft in Stainflett 19th June, 1659; and in 1666 he acquired Pillanflatt and Rosruvan from William Lindsay of Bonhill, and his wife Anne. The affairs of John Smollett falling into disorder, he resigned the management thereof to his son James, in 1672. He died about 1680. By his first wife, Jean, second daughter of Bontine of Ardoch, he left an only son, the above James (ie. the James next). By his second wife, Mary Sempill (probably of Fulwood), he had no issue. In addition to James, however, John appears to have had a daughter Jean, who married William Corruth, burgess of Dumbarton, in 1665.S1
