Notes - He was clerk to the Scottish religious reformer John Knox, and compiled Memorials of Transactions in Scotland from 1569 to 1573, considered an important source for events in Scotland during those years. He also organized and preserved John Knox's papers after Knox's death. In the latter thirty years of his life he worked as clerk to Samuel Cockburn, a lawyer, whom he appointed (along with his brother James Bannatyne, a merchant of Ayr) joint executor of his will.
Joseph D. Shearer (citation details below) says "He seems to have spent his last days in Ayr since he is mentioned in 1597 with his brother James, a merchant, in connection with the Bannatyne land on the Burrowfield."
