  1. 1.  Adam Andrew Montgomerie was born about 1570 in Peeblesshire, Scotland (son of Troilus Montgomerie and Janet Montgomerie).

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Name: Adam Montgomerie of Macbie Hill
    • Occupation: Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland; Merchant Burgess
    • Reference Number: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Montgomery-585

    Notes:

    Both Burke and T H Montgomery list a birth date of 1598. I think this date
    belongs to a different Adam Montgomerie who married Jeanne Hinshaw in Edinburgh
    I believe this Adam was born earlier, about 1570, which fits his father, his wife,
    and his children better. This leaves only the question of the birthdate of his
    mother Janet Montgomery who married Troilius. TH Montgomery also
    acknowledges doubts about Janet's birthdate in relation to her two sons.

    Notes from Findagrave
    Adam, 5th Laird of Braidstane
    John was appointed one of the tutors to Hugh, third Earl of Eglintoun.
    Broadstone lies close to the small village of Gateside in North Ayrshire, Scotland about half a mile east of Beith in the old Barony of Giffen.
    Adam's son, Hugh Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery (1560-1636), is known as one of the "founding fathers" of the Ulster-Scots along with James Hamilton, 1st Viscount Claneboye. Paterson, the historian, records that the 'Laird of Braidstane's Scotch Colony', established in around 1606, was responsible for the introduction of linen weaving and manufacture to the area around Lurgan in Ireland; he also built mills, the harbour of Donaghadee, and repaired Port Montgomery (now Port Patrick).

Margaret (daughter of 4th Laird of Hessilhead John Hessilhead Montgomerie and Margaret Fraser) was born in 1535 in Hessilhead, Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland; died in 1570 in Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland; was buried in 1570 in Beith Auld Kirk, Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland.
