(Are both names John Muir and is he a vintner in Causeyside or a writer in Paisley? The writing is difficult to read)

[General note: We had data here from Glasgow University Archives but now think that there were 2, if not 3, John Reid studying medicine at the time and the notes related to another](UPDATE Nov 2006: It appears his surgery qualification was from London 1814)(His son JCR 1852 from Glasgow)
[He was commissioned as an Officer on HMS Esk, a frigate (*). (from EBM Croker (nee Hoy) This fact may be in error. The ship may have been of a different class and slightly different name.)]]]. (UPDATE Nov 2006 from documents found in family archives!)(He became a Surgeon 17 Aug 1815: I assume in RN because his Surgeon award from London was 15 April 1814 stated in (a document) Commission for Esk in 1824)(Prior to this as an Assistant Surgeon on Akbar)(Surgeon on ESK a Sloop (*) 15 Oct 1824)(Died 22 Aug 1827) Miss Marion WHYTE and Dr John REID M.D. had the following children:
